Default (2009-08-06) NS-RFC: Power in the kitchen

I have the fridge, m/w, island, and garbage disposal on their own dedicated
circuits. I had to persuade the electrician on this point since he wanted to
provide us 8 outlets throughout the kitchen on two 15-amp circuit breakers.
I then explained how much cooking we did and how many appliances would be
running simultaneously. It would be unfortunate to have half or all the
kitchen going down if I ran, oh say the m/w and the mixer together or the
Cuisinart and a warmer. Or had to run the disposal during such time and
couldn't. We had already btdt with the previous kitchen. I didn't want to
repeat it.

Plus, I didn't understand why he was planning on putting the fridge on the
same circuit as the m/w...

I got what I wanted in the end and haven't experienced any power issues
since.
