How to choose the right appliances for your new kitchen
When planning your dream kitchen, you should take the time to carefully consider all the appliances you'll need and the right appliances for the job. From cake baking and bread making to everyday meals and entertaining, there's something to suit all culinary requirements.
In this blog, we look at the different options available and how to plan for the most efficient and ergonomic layout.
At BCK Interiors, we offer a wide choice of state-of-the-art appliances to fit your kitchen design, budget and culinary needs. Whether you want to go high-tech with a smart oven, enjoy island cooking with a ventinghob or keep running costs low with an energy-efficient dishwasher, we will talk you through all the benefits of different appliances so that you can select the optimum kitchen kit for you.
Assess Your Needs
Before choosing your kitchen appliances, it's important to assess your needs for your daily routine. Reflect on your cooking habits and determine which appliances are necessary for your everyday cooking tasks. Whether you're passionate about baking or managing a bustling household, identifying your priorities will guide you in selecting appliances tailored to your unique requirements.
Built-in ovens
Having ovens built in is a practical choice that gives your kitchen a sleek and seamless look, perfect for our handleless and fuss-free German designs. There are plenty of different configurations to suit the space available.
From vertical stacking for smaller kitchens to horizontal installation for a panoramic display, the appliances will be easily accessible and safely installed out of young children's reach.
Our appliance partners, Neff, Siemens, Miele and BORA, are all luxurious brands that combine premium design with advanced technology. Taking the guesswork out of cooking and making every meal a memorable occasion, there are ovens that cook multiple dishes at different temperatures at the same time, healthy steam ovens with hot air for perfect roasts and the space-saving Slide & Hide oven, as seen on the Great British Bake Off with its disappearing door.
When you choose your new dream kitchen with BCK Interiors, we take time to discuss your needs and appliance wish list, so whether you're a home cook, a keen baker or an aspiring chef, we've got you covered.
Coffee machines, wine coolers and warming drawers
Create barista-quality coffee from the comfort of your own kitchen with a fully automatic espresso maker. Siemens has a range of built-in and freestanding models that can be matched with your ovens and warming drawers for a fully co-ordinated look.
We also have a choice of wine coolers that can be installed into an island or run of cabinetry so that guests can help themselves to a glass while you get on with the cooking. Dual temperature designs will keep white, red and sparkling in optimum condition, too.
Warming drawers and multi-drawers are also valuable assets to your kitchen. They can be used to prove dough, pre-heat plates, defrost food, cook at low temperatures and reheat meals, so consider a bank of built-in appliances with your choice of oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer configuration to make life easier every day.
The possibilities for functionality in your kitchen are endless…
Establish Your Spending Plan
While kitchen appliances vary from cost-effective choices to premium, luxury models, it's crucial to determine your budget in advance.
Choosing to invest in quality appliances can prove cost-effective over time, as they typically boast enhanced longevity and performance. Striking a balance between quality and affordability is key to securing the optimal value for your expenditure.
Consider Energy-Efficient Appliances
Choosing energy-efficient appliances not only reduces your utility expenses but also plays a role in fostering a more sustainable environment. By selecting energy-efficient kitchen appliances, you're making a conscious choice to support eco-friendly practices while also enjoying savings on your energy bills.
Induction hobs
These ultra-energy-efficient hobs are now found as standard in the latest kitchens and it's easy to see their appeal. As well as being low on energy consumption, as it's the pan that heats up and not the hob, they are safe around children and extremely quick and easy to clean. With added features such as automatic pan recognition, precise low temperatures for melting chocolate or creating sauces, rapid boil and bridging zones for larger pans and fish kettles, they are a really versatile piece of kit.
Refrigeration and dishwashers
Our choice of energy-efficient fridges, freezers and fridge-freezers will ensure your food stays fresh for longer, reducing food waste and saving money.
Features include humidity-controlled zones for fish, meat and dairy, as well as NoFrost models that put an end to that dreaded defrosting.
We also have a great selection of dishwashers in different sizes to suit all kitchens. Neff's models include Flex Baskets to ensure you can fit all your dirty crockery and cookware in as well as low noise levels, perfect for open-plan kitchens. Siemens meanwhile has smart tech covered with its intelligent dishwashers that will integrate beautifully into your kitchen.
