Kitchen Features That Make Cooking Easier

The best kitchen appliances make life easier while elevating the overall look of your space. At Kutchenhaus, our designers seamlessly integrate appliances to enhance sleek, contemporary kitchen designs while freeing up valuable worktop space.

With these smart kitchen appliances, you’ll enjoy an efficient, functional space that keeps up with everything you need.

An induction hob is another feature that adds speed, safety and efficiency to your cooking process. With a sleek, minimal design, induction hobs heat cookware directly using magnetic fields, offering precise temperature control while using less energy than traditional hobs.

Thanks to their smooth surface, induction hobs are also easier to clean; a quick wipe is often all it takes to keep them looking pristine. If you’re looking for a faster, more efficient way to cook, an induction hob makes a smart choice.

An extractor fan might not be the first feature on your list, but choosing the right one improves air quality and keeps your kitchen comfortable while you cook.

We offer extractor fans designed to blend effortlessly with your kitchen design. Our Xtra Hob hot plate extractor fan can be flush-fitted, integrated into work surfaces, or even installed in the ceiling, keeping your space sleek and clutter-free. Available in finishes like matt black, these fans resist scratches while effectively removing odours, smoke, and grease from your kitchen.

Choosing the best kitchen worktop for your cooking style can make your life a lot easier. At Kutchenhaus, we offer a wide range of high-quality surfaces that combine beauty and practicality:

• Quartz worktops: Naturally elegant, waterproof and easy to wipe down.
   
• Xtra Laminate: Impact-resistant, water-resistant and available in a variety of finishes to suit your style.
   
• Ceramic worktops: Scratch and water-resistant, offering durability with sleek, contemporary appeal.
   
• Granite worktops: Hardwearing with unique natural patterns, bringing timeless beauty and strength.
   

A durable, easy-to-clean worktop is a must-have feature if you want to have a kitchen that’s easy to cook in. Speak to our design experts in store to help you choose the right one.

A thoughtful kitchen layout works hand-in-hand with smart storage to streamline your kitchen, allowing you to move about your kitchen when cooking without anything getting in the way. Some of our favourite layouts for cooking efficiency:

• L-shaped kitchens create a natural working triangle between the hob, sink and fridge - optimising movement and making everything easily accessible.
• Galley kitchens work brilliantly in smaller kitchens, with parallel worktops placing everything you need within arm’s reach and no wasted space.

Open plan kitchens that feature a kitchen island are a great way to make use of space; they can provide you with plenty of extra work surface, so you have the freedom to cook plenty of dishes at once.

Whatever layout you choose, aim for a smooth workflow by positioning key areas - prep, cooking and cleaning - in close proximity, enhancing both function and comfort.
