You may have realised from this I am an advocate of microwaves not everyone is but we have four in our kitchen. They are very useful for those mornings when 8 come down at once. Some guest house owners get round this by making guests book a breakfast time but I have never been a fan of this as they seem to turn up when they fancy anyway. Another top tip is get a hob with as many rings as you can simply for the space of having somewhere to put your hot pans when you are not cooking with them. It is also important to change your oil regularly when cooking for two reasons 1 the quality of the breakfasts starts to drop and you get black bits and 2 you get a lot of smoke which in turn leads to a good laugh with the smoke alarm. The guests trying to have a lie in will not thank you for it.
