Today I learned that one of the most important quality assurance tests you can run on a kitchen is this one here:

It is the “pasta sauce test”. And it involves repeatedly boiling a cauldron of water underneath some cupboard doors for at least several hours.

It is an important test because the combination of heat and humidity is particularly tough on certain kinds of finishes.

So if you happen to be in the market for a new kitchen, make sure you ask them about the pasta sauce test.
