When you’re ready to upgrade your kitchen, you will likely begin by choosing new cabinets and backsplashes or looking into new flooring. However, while these aspects are transformative, the backbone of your cooking space will be the appliances. Use the following guide when choosing items like an oven or refrigerator for your kitchen remodeling project.

A Guide to Selecting Kitchen Appliances

Oven

Choose the oven size and type based on how often you’ll be cooking large meals. Culinary enthusiasts who plan to bake birthday cakes, cook their own Thanksgiving turkey, and make full-sized casseroles for family dinners should look into commercial options. A professional range oven offers enhanced power and can saute, simmer, and sear. Bakers will benefit from convection ovens, as they allow for faster cooking times and more even heat distribution.

Refrigerator

Your fridge is an appliance you’ll use often, so you want to make a wise choice. Top-mount models—with the freezer on top—are the most common, but their small size might be a drawback for large families or if you have high ceilings.

If you’re installing new counters and cabinets, take the exact measurements of the area where the fridge will sit so you can avoid buying a unit that’s too wide or tall. 

Dishwasher

To ensure that the dishwasher looks appealing, have your contractor conceal the appliance with wood paneling to match the surrounding cabinets (if they’re made of wood). If the kitchen is close to your living room or bedroom, choose a model that is quiet so it’s easier to get to sleep or enjoy a movie. Also, consider the workload you’ll need your dishwasher to handle. If you spend plenty of time baking and cooking, you’ll need a professional-grade appliance that can handle stubborn messes.
