Home appliances for the kitchen: how to choose and place?

Appliances for the kitchen - a necessary thing, because it helps the owner to deal with many responsibilities at home quickly and easily. Cooking, washing the dishes, but simply storing food - all can be trusted with modern appliances. That is why such purchases are planning one of the first, even if in the very kitchen has no furniture.

But the modern market is so saturated with a variety of models that identify and choose the most, "his" is not easy. We will understand what appliances in the kitchen really need, and what can wait for later. And most importantly - learn to correctly choose it.

Fridge

The largest and most important kitchen appliances, without which it is difficult to imagine a normal family life. Most refrigerators are still produced for offline installation, so that the overall unit can be placed anywhere in the kitchen. But there are also built-in models - they take up less space and are hiding behind the facades of furniture set. But there are, of course, more expensive than conventional refrigerators.

The choice of this technique depends on your family's needs and regular opportunities to replenish stocks of fresh meat, fish, fruit and other products. Although the kitchen area will have to be taken into account too:

• For a standard room for 8-10 squares fit the conventional refrigerator 60x60 cm. If, however, with the dimensions of housing are out of luck, should look at the compact model 45x60 cm. The owners of luxury apartments with a spacious kitchen in this regard can be anything not limit yourself.
• It is not necessary to look closely to the "stalwart" technique if you are not constrained in terms of housing conditions. The whole family will be more convenient to use low (about one and a half meters) and wide unit.
• Pay attention to the number of cameras, if you prefer to stock a major quantity of various eatables. In such a refrigerator in the kitchen all the products are stored properly. Just look for a model with two compressors: a large internal volume - a big load on the engine.
• Discard the art with solid glass shelves. They do not allow cold air to circulate freely in the chamber and reduce the efficiency of assembly work.

When a suitable model of the refrigerator is selected, we can only figure out how to place it in the kitchen. First of all we must remember that this technique does not place in the "hot zones" so installing option dismisses next with stove, boiler or column, as well as the location of the refrigerator near the window, where it will be exposed to direct sunlight rays. Then it all depends on the layout of the kitchen: the machine can be entered into a common line or "stick" it near the set. If, during the repairs you have provided a separate niche for him, then the issue with the location of the refrigerator and all resolved.

hob

Whatever the stove - gas, electric or combined - it is also necessarily present in any home. Today the most popular are the built-in models, and this is really the best option, which only can be selected. Firstly, in the kitchen with appliances, embedded in the table top, it is easier to maintain order. Secondly, the entire interior takes on a more modern look.

Options are missing, but both producers and buyers themselves traditionally treated plate from a position of the characteristics of their surface:

enamelled

Featuring a variety of colors, are very inexpensive and not too durable. No, the very kitchen equipment is working properly, especially if it is a conventional gas model. But here the enamel coating, even with careful care quickly loses its attractive appearance. Chips from falling utensils and scratches left scouring powder, notably their ports. So with the budgetary technique must be extremely careful.

Stainless steel

It looks stylish, easy to fit in almost any kitchen design, but to care for even more capricious than enamelling. And although the scratches on it with the right choice of cleaning products do not appear, and the chips are impossible in principle, housewives often are dissatisfied with your purchase. The problem is that on a shiny stainless steel are clearly visible handprints and even dried drops of water, and regularly rubbed her smooth surface ready not all.

Glass-ceramic or tempered glass

Such kitchen appliances can completely flip your idea of ​​cooking. A variety of programs, the most multifunctional burners of different designs, high heating rates - all of this comes to the durable ceramic surface. Electric cooktops this type differ minimal heating of glass running around "the burner", so that the risk of getting burned almost disappears. The only thing - have to protect equipment from knocks and wipe it with timely spots (especially desserts). For the rest, it fully justifies its high cost.

Hob can be purchased at the kitchen by itself or bundled with an oven (depending on the control panel or independent).

If you have enough free space, buy a full-size freestanding stove, and when it does not, or you are looking for the best technique to give, you should choose a portable model for 1-2 burners.

Oven

Previously, the need for such kitchen appliances is not considered, in principle, since the bulk of slabs originally equipped with an oven. Today there are more compact and aerogrili microwaves, so that some housewives consciously refuse additional tool. Especially if the kitchen is very small and extra centimeters want to take any more of necessary equipment and furniture.

Those who still enjoys ovens often, manufacturers offer a wide range dependent and independent models of different sizes and with a decent set of additional functions. But you must first determine the type of energy source, which will connect the broiler in the kitchen:

1. The gas - from the viewpoint of economy, this technique is preferable electric. However, it is impossible to implement many different functions and modes of heating, like using heaters. And yet, choose a gas oven for the kitchen is better to full "minced meat". Should not spare money for additional options technology to ensure the safety (gas control, child lock).
2. Electricity - if your house does not have natural gas, it is the only option available to connect the oven. But the power of such equipment is large enough, so I have to give further thought energy throughout the kitchen and possibly to reach a separate line for the outlet of the oven.

Then you have to decide on the internal volume and an additional set of options to choose whether it will be built-in appliances. And if so, where it is more convenient to place in the kitchen.

By the way, today ovens are increasingly installed in a separate column somewhere at chest level. This location is really the best, so bring it on his note.

Buying equipment with a large number of programs critical of their presence in a particular model. For each skill stove will have to pay from their own pockets, so look for the functionality that you'll actually use. And in order to choose the appropriate technique was simpler, use these tips:

• If you have a microwave in the kitchen or just plan to buy it, defrost in the oven may be superfluous.
• Convection, although this is an expensive solution that will allow you to seamlessly and tricks to cook several dishes for a large family.
• Quick heating, put in the program recipes and timers with Auto Shutoff fit forever engaged housewives who do not want to spend a single extra minute and still manage to do several things at the same time. For them, such kitchen appliances will be really indispensable assistant.

Dishwasher

On the feasibility of such a purchase disputes do not cease for several years - as long as the dishwashing machines appeared on our market and started to slowly decline in value. If you have a large family, and the amount of dirty dishes every day accumulates decent, it makes sense choose for the kitchen compact consumer model 6-10 sets (the more you still have not gathered enough).

But in many families it is faster and easier to wash a few dishes on their own, rather than wait for half an hour while for you to make this work equipment. However, there is a small desktop models, and even dishwashers, which are installed under the sink in the kitchen. They can be used in "standard" amount of dirty dishes - still hands so clean you did not wash off.

Small Appliances

Although she really "small", the work in the kitchen without it can turn into hard labor, robs you too much time and effort. So after buying the basic set of equipment, do not deny yourself a few extra helpers.

Microwave (SHF)

While it does not, you can name a dozen reasons why microwave oven in the kitchen and you do not need. But it is worth a little he borrowed it as a future life without this technique ceases to exist. Well, where else can you in just a few minutes to warm dinner, prepare a quick breakfast or defrost meat? A good microwave will gain and those who failed to place on a close the kitchen oven. However, for this you will need to select a microwave with grill function, to bake it in different dishes to a beautiful golden brown.

The beauty of modern microwave ovens is that they are available not only to the individual devices, but also sometimes include the ability to embed in a kitchen set. In this case, the interior is a more harmonious, but to find a convenient place to put the microwave is very difficult.

multivarka

Perfect for those who can not afford to stand on the impending food and prefers to rely on the work smart technology. Opportunities Multivarki directly proportional to its value, so that the amount of kitchen helper mode will only depend on the amount that you're willing to spend on it.

Multivarka capable of many things: it cooks, steamed, extinguishes, and sometimes even bakes roasts, but as an ordinary microwave oven requires a separate space in the kitchen. Just imagine what you have in mind will stand a large saucepan with buttons connected to the outlet. If you agree to tolerate this "accessory" in the interior for the sake of his own ability to cook any meals without you, feel free to go for the purchase. But in general, can not be considered indispensable multivarku technique or a necessity in the kitchen.

Electric kettle

Today, almost no one remembers the whistling and gurgling teapots that are fun bouncing on the plate. Electric models were much more comfortable at home, faster, and smarter. Select this type of equipment in the kitchen is simple and it is quite possible to entrust your liking. But try to give preference to well-known brands, so you do not have to enjoy tea with the aroma of freshly melted plastic.

Of course, small household appliances helps to automate many of the processes, but it does not mean that it has to be shown off. Keep their fundamentals assistants ready, but only for the facades of cabinets and pedestals, so as not to clutter the kitchen. Also shelves with lifts, built in the upper headset modules are perfect for storing electrical equipment (most of us, they are always half-empty). Alternatively possible to equip a small niche in a corner or in a column with other equipment.
