Some people love cooking because it provides a way to relax after a long day. Others enjoy the challenge of trying new recipes or the creativity involved in food presentations. Regardless of your reasons for enjoying the culinary arts, there are numerous kitchen remodel features that significantly improve your cooking space. Learn about a few upgrades home cooks can’t live without below.

5 Must-Have Kitchen Remodel Features for Busy Home Chefs

1. Double Ovens

Make it easy to roast or bake multiple dishes at once with double ovens. Use the top oven for easy access to food dishes and the bottom whenever you have a large group meal to handle. The bottom oven also functions as a plate warmer and can be set on low to keep hot food deliciously warm. Wall unit ovens save floor space as well.

2. Island With Dishwasher & Extra Sink

Add a kitchen island to your classic chef’s triangle configuration to enjoy more prep space as well as an extra sink. Look for a model with a dishwasher if you don’t have one, or one with a compact dishwasher if your current appliance cannot accommodate high numbers of dirty plates.

3. Gas Range With Higher Btu

Replace your current range with one featuring a higher Btu, or British thermal unit. Most ranges feature Btus of about 7,000, while high-end models operate at 23,000 Btu to produce hotter, larger flames that boil water at an astonishing rate. Look for a stove top with a griddle, another common feature on chef models.

4. Wall-Mounted Racks

Keep important kitchen tools in plain sight with wall-mounted storage racks. Magnetic racks save storage space and keep sharp tools such as butcher knives out of young children’s reach. If you want to free up more counter space during your kitchen remodel, use wall-mounted spice racks as well.

5. Gooseneck Faucet With Pullout Sprayer

Clean large dishes that do not fit in your dishwasher quickly and easily with a gooseneck faucet featuring a pullout sprayer. Fill, wash, and rinse pots using the faucet and clean every corner of your sink using the sprayer. If your kitchen remodel includes an entirely new sink, avoid rounded models that take up too much space.
