Appliances, alone, do not make a kitchen. But they just might be the most important aspect of your space. After all, the kitchen’s primary function is for preparing and cooking meals.
How high-end do you want to go? Chefs and bakers who plan to use the restaurant-quality features on professional models can justify hefty price tags that can consume their kitchen budget.
On the other hand, if you like the look of the professional-grade range and built-in refrigeration units, and those dramatic (and highly effective) hoods for ventilation, you can have your cake and eat it, too.
With many mid-range and high-end (but still affordable) appliances on the market today, you can get the looks and quality performance without blowing your budget on the high-high end models.
Ideally, you should choose your kitchen layout first, then choose appliances that fit. If you fall in love with a side-by-side fridge, will you have room for a double-width oven and a dishwasher?
Cooktops. Gas, electric or induction? The choice is yours, but we can accommodate whichever you choose.
When choosing a cooktop for performance, consider efficiency: how much heat do you lose from burner to pan? (With gas, you lose about 40 percent.)
On the other hand, with induction heat—a flat electric cooktop that performs like fast-heating gas stoves—you lose the least amount of heat. Induction isn’t mainstream but it’s certainly a time-saver, because you can bring a pan of water to boiling faster than you can even on a gas range!
Tip: Look for burner grates made of cast iron or a metal that conducts heat for better heat transfer from the burner to the pan.
Ovens. A high-performing fan-forced, or convection, oven circulates heat with a fan to cook food faster and more evenly. This will help you get dinner on the table faster than a traditional oven. Bakers, on the other hand, will want the traditional bake/roast/grill options. In a perfect kitchen world, you can have both with a stacked, or side-by-side oven.
Range hoods. A serious cooktop demands a ventilation system that will usher fumes out of the kitchen without sounding like a Cessna is landing. If you hear the sound of suction (and not the motor running), this is a good thing. If noise bothers you completely, consider units that can be installed with exterior motors.
