Smart appliances, clever storage or bespoke additions …
TEMP CONTROL
Great gadgets and kitchen utensils are key, as seen in this expert guide to stocking your kitchen. At the In The Spring Kitchen event – a seasonal cooking demonstration hosted by THE GLOSS Food Editor Kitty Coles and Home Economist at the BSH Home of Innovation Sinéad Connolly – a NEFF MultiPoint MeatProbe was used to ensure a perfect slow-roast lamb.
INTEGRATION STATION
The latest induction hobs feature frying sensors with precise temperature control (up to 11 settings ranging from 70°C to 220°C) and built-in extractors for ventilation. Say goodbye to noisy, clogged extractor fans! www.neff-home.com
STEAM DREAM
Cooking with steam retains more flavour, vitamins, and minerals in your food. With combi-steam ovens and steamers, you can prepare mouthwatering vegetables and meat quickly, and heat pre-made meals. www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com
ISLAND IN THE SUN
Incorproate extra storage, appliance integration, and seating in multifunctional islands. Interior designer Sara Cosgrove recommends a docking drawer to charge electronics out of sight. We also recommend a wine fridge! @nakedkitchens
SMART SEATING
Speaking of seating, banquette benches make the most of a breakfast nook, while adding clever storage underneath. www.herringbonehouse.com
PANTRY TIME
A pantry or larder reduces clutter as an extra preparation area out of the way. Decide what function is important for you and your family’s needs. Coffee station? Go for it. @goodboneslondon
