\n\u00a0
\n \u2022 Focus on function:\u00a0 Place the three kitchen components- sink, refrigerator, and stove, in a triangle to facilitate cooking. \u00a0It is best to put the sink between the refrigerator and the cooking surface.\u00a0
\n \u2022 The kitchen sinks:\u00a0 Most of your kitchen chores involve a sink, so select a bowl and faucet that will be effective and durable.\u00a0 Select your sink material and style according to how you work in your kitchen.\u00a0 Stainless steel is the most popular sink material.\u00a0 It is the least expensive choice, durable and light weight, and easy to install.\u00a0 \u00a0Consider the quality of the metal; the smaller gauge number indicates stronger metal.\u00a0 The cost increases with quality.\u00a0 A good choice is a 19-gauge nickel and stainless steel sink with a brushed finished.\u00a0 The stronger metal resists denting; the nickel content keeps off water spots; and the brushed finish hides scratches.\u00a0 For colorful sinks, enameled cast iron resists chipping and will keep its shine after years of use.\u00a0 One draw back: its weight can make installation more difficult.\u00a0 The solid-surface material which the sink and countertop are all in one piece makes for easy cleaning.\u00a0
\n \u2022 The kitchen faucets:\u00a0 Special faucet features and accessories can make your work and clean up in the kitchen easier.\u00a0 Some faucets are made without washers to eliminate leaks; others replace the rubber gaskets with plastic or ceramic disks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n \u2022 The ranges and cooktops:\u00a0 A range that includes the cooktop and the oven in one unit is the most common cooking equipment; it is cheaper than buying a separate wall oven and cooktop.\u00a0 If you use your oven frequently, a range means a lot of bending and anyone cooking on the stovetop will be in the way.\u00a0 In this case a separate cooktop and a wall oven may be a good choice.\u00a0 If your kitchen space is small, a range can be a big space saver.\u00a0 Having just one piece of equipment will also save the need for running electric or gas lines to the separate units.\u00a0 A professional style range requires the width twice the 30-inch standard consumer model.\u00a0 You might have to give up some cabinet space.\u00a0 When deciding on size and types for your range or cooktop, keep safety in mind:\u00a0 A typical kitchen accident often occurs when someone losses control of a pot trying to remove it from the cooking surface, and the contents spill and scald the cook.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n \u2022 The hoods and vents:\u00a0 A duct system must be ventilated to the outside.\u00a0 Surface cooking releases steam, heat, grease, and odors.\u00a0 Choose a system with a rating of at least 150 cubic feet per minute; check for a design that pulls rising cooking vapors and contains them until the blower can carry them outside.\u00a0 Check the system\u2019s sone (sound) ratings; the lower the rating, the quieter the ventilator.\u00a0 The vent hood should be installed no higher than 30 inches above the cooking surface and it should cover all burners.\u00a0 Never use a ductless hood with a gas appliance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n \u2022 The refrigerator:\u00a0 Read the yellow energy guide label on models you are considering to have an idea of its future operating costs.\u00a0 As a rule when trying to figure out capacity needs, start with 12 cubic feet of total refrigerator\/freezer space for the first two family members, and then add 2 cubic feet for each additional person in your household.\u00a0 An over-filled refrigerator\/freezer will have poor air circulation and will cost more to operate.\u00a0 Consider quality construction, quiet operation, and automatic defrost.\u00a0
\n \u2022 The ovens:\u00a0 Basic gas or electric ovens are 27 to 30 inches wide and typically offer conventional heat.\u00a0 Consider the foods you like to cook when choosing an oven\u2019s size such as a rack of lamb or a huge turkey.\u00a0 Some manufactures make smaller ovens meant for flat items such as pies, casseroles, or pizza.\u00a0 Top-of-the-line ovens often include larger interior space, heavier racks, and precision temperature controls.\u00a0 Evaluate the merits of gas, electric, convection, and halogen oven according to your cooking style.

\nBefore you shop for your kitchen appliances, evaluate and study what\u2019s available these days to fit your situation now and any potential changes in your family size, lifestyle, and kitchen design. \u00a0Study available features and prices then narrow your choices.\u00a0 This procedure can help you whip up your new kitchen solution. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
