Part of the excitement of kitchen remodel is the prospect of getting all new appliances to play with when cooking. Everything from new refrigerators and microwaves to stoves and ovens can be upgraded to more elegant, modern and efficient models that will have you cooking like a pro and saving money on energy. New appliances are an essential component of creating a new kitchen that will fit the needs of a modern home and will have an invaluable effect on the desirability of your home should you ever decide to sell it.
Refrigerator technology may have not appeared to change much since its initial invention, but cooling technology has come a long way. Modern refrigerators and freezers can cool much larger spaces way more efficiently than their predecessors. Many cooling units also have great moisture and temperature control that can lengthen the shelf life of the food products you place within the fridge. Modern refrigerators also offer customizable facades that blend in seamlessly with the style of your kitchen. No more big white ice boxes.
Stoves have also come a long way within the last few decades. The type of stove a kitchen needs will depend upon the needs of the cook. Gas ranges are still a favorite amongst chefs due to the high heat that can be created and the ability to control the heat. Electric coil stove tops have sort of fallen out of fashion due to their low response levels. Induction stoves are a newer high tech option that heats metal cookware while leaving the surface cool to the touch. All options should be considered before coming to a final decision when it comes to a stove top.
