Kitchen Contractor Gets You Cooking With Kitchens that Work

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Kitchen Contractor Gets You Cooking With Kitchens that Work

Are you dreading cooking for the holidays?  Do you love cooking but hate cooking in your kitchen?  Maybe your kitchen needs an overhaul to make it functional as well as beautiful.  When you work with the right kitchen contractor, you end up with a kitchen that looks great and works even better.   Ready to brainstorm a new kitchen?  Here’s some inspiration from Inspired Remodels recent renovations.

Cooking Made Easier

Tired of moving those heavy pots and pans?  Cooktops with continuous grates makes it easy to move pots and pans without lifting.  Sealed burners make clean-up a breeze.  Get a restaurant quality sear and boil water quickly with a high-quality gas cooktop.  Cooktops allow you to maximize your storage space too.

By placing the knobs on the front, they stay cool while you cook and are easily accessible.  This kitchen was made for cooking.  The wall mounted hood effectively handles the output from high-heat cooking.  Plenty of storage is still available under the cooktop for the items you want to keep at hand while cooking.

Drawers give you pull out storage that you can see at a glance.  Gone are the days of digging in the back of a dark cabinet, when your kitchen contractor utilizes drawers for storage.

Double wall ovens give you the freedom to roast your turkey and bake a  pecan pie at the same time.  Speaking of pies, if baking is your passion select an oven with a convection setting for the consistent heating that is crucial for successful baking.  Convection ovens use a fan to circulate the heated air; making for better kale chips for sure!

Clean Up Without Fuss

Sinks can make the difference between clean up that’s a chore and clean up that’s a breeze.  A good kitchen contractor understands that for every meal that is cooked, there is a meal that requires clean up.  Clean up should be as easy as the cooking.  Take cleaning into consideration when designing your dream kitchen.

When this small kitchen was remodeled, it became functional as well as beautiful.  The double sink is perfect for washing up.  Undermount sinks are as functional as they are stylish.  Brush those crumbs right into the sink.  No grooves, cracks, or crevices will catch them.  The location of the dishwasher immediately to the right of the sink makes rinsing and loading a breeze for the right-handed person.  Placing the sink across from the cooktop also makes filling a pot of water for pasta as easy as a pivot.

farmhouse sinkHave large pots, pans, and roasters to wash?  A farmhouse style sink may be what you need.  A farmhouse sink is traditionally much deeper than a traditional sink and has a single basin.  The design also sits slightly to the front of the cabinets beneath it.  Farmhouse sinks originated in kitchens without running water and water splashed as the sink was filled.  This slightly protruding design kept the cabinet underneath from getting wet in the fill process.  We have running water in our kitchens these days, but the design has endured.
