A cutting board and countertop are correspondingly constructed to enable the cutting board to be supported upon the countertop in multiple, varying height positions. The countertop preferably includes a main, substantially planar work surface provided with a frontal, upstanding lip, as well as at least one ledge provided at a position spaced across the work surface from the lip. The cutting board is generally constituted by substantially planar member having support elements provided on opposing, terminal side portions. In a first height position, the cutting board is arranged against both the lip and the ledge. In the second height position, the cutting board is inverted and positioned against the frontal lip and upon the ledge. In either position, the cutting board can readily slide along the countertop.

A cooling or support rack is embedded into a work surface of a countertop at a position generally, directly in front of one or more doors of an oven arranged above the countertop. Preferably, the oven incorporates a pair of arcuate, sliding doors which are movable from a closed position to an open position wherein the doors do not extend over the cooling rack. The upper surface of the cooling rack is substantially flush with both the countertop and a lowermost cookware support surface within the oven such that cookware can be readily slid into and out of the oven.

A combination shelf and serving tray assembly includes a tray provided with a platform removably supported upon a frame mounted within a refrigerator cabinet. The platform can be removed from the cabinet and used as a serving tray. A lower end of the platform is provided with various spaced projections in the form of legs or nubs, preferably having elastomeric tips. The frame includes fore-to-aft extending rails having slots formed therein into which the legs are adapted to extend. The length of the slots and the spacing between the legs permit sliding of the tray between extended and retracted positions within the refrigerator cabinet.

A cooking system includes a sink having a basin recessed within a kitchen countertop. The sink is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet and an energy source for heating water introduced into the basin. The cooking system also includes a container that preferably has bottom and side wall portions provided with a plurality of through holes. The container is adapted to house food and to be positioned within the heated water of the basin in order to enable the food items in the container to be cooked.

A workstation includes a countertop having a substantially planar upper surface below which extends an upstanding post that defines a substantially vertical axis. Further arranged under the countertop is a drawer that is interconnected to the upstanding post through a set of rail members. The set of rail members includes a first rail member fixed to the drawer and a second rail member which is slidably interconnected with the first rail member. The second rail member is further rotatably mounted to the upstanding post such that a drawer can slide between extended and retracted positions and also pivot about the vertical axis of the post. The drawer includes a handle which extends across both front and side wall portions of the drawer to enhance maneuvering of the drawer to a desired position.
