How many dedicated lines should an average kitchen have?

What should be on a dedicated line in a kitchen?

Please don't add a new question to an old, start a new thread. I separated yours to be on its own.

A kitchen requires a minimum of two 20 amp 120 Volt appliance circuits.

I normally pull...

12/3 - (2) 20 amp small appliance circuits.(fridge on one and gas range on other)

14/3 - dishwasher and disposal (personal preference although not necessarily needed)

12/2 - Micro and hood fan

Frige on its own, and 2 circuits minimum is not a bad practice.
Only 2 recepticles per circuit.
1' or more of counter space requires a receptacle, and counter recepticles should be GFI.
I don't use #14.

I wired my kitchen with 1900 boxes.

2 outlets in each box. Each outlet on own circuit. Have circuit for every 2 outlets.

With 2 circuits in box, don't have to worry about getting more than one appliance on a circuit.

Good luck

I have even had each receptacle in a duplex be its own circuit, you can't trip a circuit if you tried.
