Electrical Points in the Kitchen

In my experience you need at least 10 electrical points in your kitchen.  At each point you can place a single or double outlet.   If you have a lot of extra appliances (coffee maker, computer desk in the kitchen etc.) you may need more.   When deciding on the amount of  outlets that you need include your fridge, 1 or 2 dishwashers, 1 or 2 built in ovens, 1  built-in stove top(or  just 1 American stove/oven) and 1 or 2 microwave outlets .  Then consider the following...

-a double outlet near the kitchen table  (for your CD player, phone or using the electric mixer there to bake with kids)
-a double outlet on the fleishig side near the stove ( to plug in a plata, hand blender and/or shabbos urn)
-a double outlet on the fleishig side in a different area ( you may keep your shabbos urn or mixer there)
-a double outlet  on the milchig side for your toaster, and 'Koom Koom' that may 'live' on the counter
-another single or double outlet on the milchig side in a different area
-an outlet for your electric mixer if it's staying on the counter
-a perfectly located outlet high up if you are having an extractor vent over the cooktop

 In my opinion if you are already having an electrical point installed you may as well put a double outlet unless you know for sure that only one appliance will be there at all times (fridge, vent, microwave)
Just as an added tidbit of information...you may have noticed that in Israel the outlets around the house are placed almost halfway up the wall, this is standard but you can request them to be placed much lower down.  Ask them what is the lowest they can go according to code.  I made this request in my previous place and it made more sense to me.   The outlets were less noticeable and I didn't have cables crawling up the wall to reach them.

If you are concerned about the look of all the outlets on your backsplash you can consider putting the outlets under the cabinetry so that it is not visible.  Standing in front of the cabinets you wouldn't even notice this outlet in the picture below. I just saw this concept today and I think that it's a great idea.
