You two should compare canning stuff. John, Alix is my goto girl for canning questions. She has good sources!
I appreciate the input, but the kitchen is already designed.
Out of curiosity though, why would you place a stove or a cooktop butted directly up against a side wall, especially if it has gas burners? Aren't you just asking for scorched walls? Further, if the pots or pans being used have handles, you're got an extra disadvantage of them hitting the adjacent wall.

I love that sink!
The new drawing is helpful... are you right handed or left handed?
I might position the sink on the wall opposite the door if your right handed... here's my reasoning. If you think about how you cook, there are always hot dripping utensils.. If the sink is close enough you can actually place them in the sink instead on on the counter next to the stove. While the sink opposite the stove is very close, you have to turn around and will drip across the floor.
Also - on the off chance that you will have more than one person in this space, having the stove and the sink exactly opposite is going to mean some tush bumping, as one person is likely to be using the sink and the other at the stove.
For the same reason, I would consider placing the sink off center on the wall. Assuming the stove remains where you currently have it located, you might want position the sink on the wall opposite the door but further away from the stove.
On edit: Looking at your drawing again... I wold leave the sink where it is and move the stove to the center of the wall opposite the door (short wall).
about corner cabinets....
We redid our kitchen this past summer and before we ordered cabinets, I went and played with lazy susans and other corner solutions. Some look like great ideas, but in practice aren't so great. I especially didn't like the ones that folded out although I didn't see the specific one you are contemplating
I like the new drawing - it gives you some bigger work areas.
