Your available kitchen space will play a role in choosing the appliances Kamloops homeowners use most.
If space weren’t an issue, you’d have endless options for configuring your kitchen with the cooking appliances Kamloops homeowners rely on to prepare their meals. Sadly, that’s not always the case.
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t outfit your kitchen with top appliances that not only suit the space, but also match your cooking style. Appliance manufacturers are an innovative bunch, and they’re constantly coming up with different options such as:
- Steam ovens
- Dual-fuel ranges
- Convection ovens
- Cooktops
- Wall ovens
- Warming drawers
These are the type of appliances Kamloops cooking enthusiasts love to use. But they all have their preferences for how they like their kitchen layout, and so will you. Here are a few examples for your consideration:
1. Wall Oven and Cooktop Combination
Cooking is perhaps the primary function of most kitchens, and many people prefer a layout that features a wall oven/cooktop configuration. Wall ovens are a great option for homeowners who prefer a seamless look in their kitchens.
They’re also handy for those who don’t want to bend over to remove food from a conventional oven when it's hot and awkward to handle. Installing your wall oven at waist level alleviates this problem.
Another advantage of this combination is that it creates usable storage space underneath your cooktop. All of a sudden, you no longer have to go across the kitchen to reach for your pots and pans. Instead, you can install large drawers underneath the cooktop so they’re close at hand.
2. Dual-oven Ranges
One of the issues with choosing to go with double wall ovens and cooktops is that they can really dominate a kitchen (unless you have the space). To avoid this, some homeowners prefer all-in-one Kamloops appliances like ranges with dual-ovens.
A good example of this is the 48-inch Dual Fuel Range by Thermador. It still offers the convenience of two ovens (one 36-inch and one 12-inch) in a nice, tidy package. As an added bonus, it’s dual fuel, so you get the benefits of a gas cooktop:
- Instant heat
- Inexpensive fuel source
- Precise temperature control
- Quick to cool down
You also get the benefit of an electric range:
- High heat
- Easy to clean
- Dry heat (better for baking)
3. Sticking with the Standard
There’s a reason the majority of homes have a standard 30-inch range: they offer homeowners with the cooking functionality they require in a unit that doesn’t take up too much space.
Plus, you can still choose from many of the high-end features you’d find in larger ranges. This KitchenAid is a great example as it features:
- Dual fuel (gas cooktop, electric oven)
- Double ovens (stacking)
- True convection
- Separate baking drawer
It even has a steam rack that adds moisture to the inside of the oven to enhance cooking results.
