Sometimes all you need is to spruce up your kitchen with a few additions, instead of completely renovating. You may have the perfect layout, with everything in the appropriate zone. You may also need to add a few things however, to improve the functionality and beauty of your kitchen. They may be appliances, decorative items, utensils or even a little more light and space. Here is a breakdown:
1. Extra Appliances
Other than the basics, sometimes having extra appliances push you to cook different foods in different styles. If you love to cook, but you are not a chef, you might want to include some appliances that a chef can't live without. In the list are a multipurpose range for preparing exotic sauces and grilled foods and an over the top dishwasher. Get one with a short washing cycle. Continued innovation has seen the manufacturing of automated dishwashers with inbuilt lights and self-operating doors.
Commercial kitchens would benefit twofold by having food processors in addition to good quality ovens.
The 'Masterchef Effect' in Australia seems to be favoring gourmet food. People are inspired to eat out at restaurants and equally prepare gourmet food home according to a statistic by IBIS World in 2009.
It was projected in that year by the analysis group that a growth of 3.8 percent was expected between 2010 and 2011. Over the next five years, which is up to 2016, the gourmet industry is expected to grow by 20.7%.
The same company predicted that Cookbook industry is gaining strength after struggling for a long time now. They predicted sales of about 200 million Dollars in 2011, a thirteen percent rise. Other industries expected to gain are kitchen ware retailers and culinary schools.
Another report by Euromonitor International titled 'Food Preparation Appliances in Australia' says many more Australians are keen on preparing high quality food at home. Because of the busy lives of many citizens, there is a high demand for fast, energy saving and easy-to-use appliances.
2. Zoning
Commercial Kitchens are the biggest profiteers of the trend. Many professional chefs seem to single out the cooking area as the most important zone. As the projected growth soars even higher, restaurants have to find ways to maximize the functionality and effectiveness of their kitchens to accommodate the growing population of customers.
You will want to maximize the efficiency of the cook zone by making it bigger or adding an extra oven.
3. Fixtures
Paneled cabinets are the answer to keep extra pots and pans out of sight. It is positioned in such a way that you can reach it easily, but you don't clutter the kitchen or ruin its sleek look.
4. Change the tops of working areas
For the aspiring 'home-chef', this is one great way to increase food safety. Stainless steel is more resistant to bacteria. So changing your countertops may be an excellent idea for the safety conscious.
Although you can do these things independently, you can never go wrong by consulting professional kitchen designers and installers. You might think you have the perfect kitchen until you walk into their showrooms, flip through their gallery or listen to an expert breakdown the necessities for you. It's a guarantee that you will enjoy your time in the kitchen better than before you touched up on some essentials.
