When preparing for a new kitchen most homeowners look very carefully at new appliances and what they offer for the modern lifestyle.
As the clean aesthetic of the modern kitchen continues to gain momentum, refrigerator manufacturers are introducing more models that integrate nicely with the kitchen. The counter depth refrigerator offers an esthetic improvement by reducing the amount the refrigerator sticks past the cabinets. Fully integrated refrigerators offered by companies like Sub-Zero, Miele, Gaggenau and Liebherr allow the designer to integrate the refrigerator even further with panels to match the cabinetry. The most advanced models look like pantry cabinets when finished.
Long gone is the electric coil cooktop.Today’s kitchen is equipped with the cooktop that meets the needs of the family. Gas cooktops became popular at the start of the new millennium as more cooks took on more challenging cooking styles that required even heat, fast adjustments and esthetic value. People began to stir fry more often as a variety of ethnic cooking styles became more and more popular. New advancements in technology has brought the Induction cooktop to the forefront allowing electic cooktops that provide the same even heat, fast adjustments and even more esthetic value than gas cooktops. We can be assured that Induction will gain favour as more people learn of its benefits.
