Has anyone gotten rid of their worktop appliances?

I've a bit of a thing against my worktop appliances, specifically my kettthem toaster and cooker. Everything else like food processor or air fryer I put away when they aren't being used

But those 3 are used so much it doesn't make sense to put away (and can't in the case of the cooker)

As a result, they all get dirty looking so I have to clean them and around them. I know it's hardly the biggest job ever but it's not like I've a shortage of work to do in the first place

Ideally if I ever do a kitchen remodeling, I'd like to get rid of them if possible and substitute them for something else. I'm thinking of the following

Kettle - boiling tap instead

Cooker - use oven where possible, portable induction hob or two when I need a cooker

Toaster - not sure about this one, using the grill seems the only option but it's a bit error prone and I might not have the patience

I'm wondering has anyone else done this as well? Did you find life easier/the same or did you go back to your wo

I get my toast now delivered daily by a big retailer.

Putting away a toaster, is very, very Protestant tho!

I was disappointed that Aldi mega toast doesn't come pre toasted 😁

Couldn’t survive without a toaster kettle or a hob - you must have a very small kitchen OP- have most other items stored in cupboards for easy access when required. One thing I don’t have is a microwave and I don’t miss it at all -when I had one i used it for heating up beans :D
