Have you been told there’s a seat waiting for you on the next season of Masterchef? Have you ever watched one of the cooking channels and thought you could make that dish even better? If this is you, you’re deserving of a kitchen worthy of your talents so what are you waiting for?
Kitchen Work Triangle
If you missed our in-depth look into the Kitchen Work Triangle, you can find that here. Succinctly, it is the triangle created by stove/oven, sink, and refrigerator for maximum efficiency while cooking in the kitchen. While this design has been identified for its functionality, it is not always possible in all kitchen shapes and sizes. Therefore, assess your area and how you best use your space. Consider prep, cooking, and cleanup, and what layout will benefit you most.
Sink
When it comes to keeping things clean, a big sink is a must and a double sink is ideal. A deep double sink will allow you to simultaneously stack up used cookware while cleaning fruits and veggies or straining food in a standing colander on the other side.
Functional Countertop
There are many options when it comes to countertops from material, to color, and texture. For the seasoned cook, a prep space that boasts many benefits such as durability, heat-resistance, and a surface that has antibacterial properties would be ideal for its versatility.
Smart Storage
A sought-after feature in almost any kitchen is custom drawer and cabinet storage. Ask almost any homeowner about what they would change in their kitchen and you are likely to hear about storage. So, for the aspiring chef, who is likely to have more gadgets and appliances than the average person, these solutions become increasingly important. You can see a more comprehensive look at some of these solutions here and, of course, by calling your local Fairview Millwork and Kitchens designer.
