Actually, I’m pretty sure that work island had shelves under the counter into which she slid the used pans. But a bit later, she also had staff that was sitting on the floor out of camera’s view that handed her the plates or utensils she needed. 
I noticed she cut the tied beef with the string still on - but I couldn’t tell if she ended up pulling the string off those chunks of beef, or if it wasn’t used.
Such a difference in the old B&W shows to the later color shows as well! Just imagine what that Bœuf Bourguignon looked like in color!
