One benefit of a smaller dishwasher in a smaller household is also that you don't have to wait 2 days until you've collected enough things to wash

@SjorsTimmer Жыл бұрын

@@peterswinson326 Sure. It's a trade off, otherwise I would need 2x as many plates, pans and cutlery. Following your argument we would be even better off sourcing a 120cm wide dishwasher so they only need to run once a week.

I am super happy with my narrow dishwasher! I’m in drought country so water conservation is huge issue, my dishwasher on eco mode takes 35 min using less water than carefully washed by hand. Use less detergent for smaller load, “eco friendly” or better yet “biocompatible” dish soap.

I can see plinth /toekick drawers being useful for heavy holiday platters which would be washed before use, or appliance manuals if you keep those, but surely not for teatowels as shown? It's an area vulnerable to floor dirt, invisible or not. Much more efficient to put the microwave in a tower with the wall oven, and both vented. Great idea. Love the slim dishwasher idea, but the boiling water in a tap may result in an unwary user on a fast trip to the emergency room. With a kettle, they know where the boiling water will be. With the extra high addition to cabinets, the idea you showed adds such a finished touch; the other option I've seen is glass paneled display cabinets with lighting for certain treasured china.

This is why ikea kitchens are so popular, drawers within drawers are my favourite feature, as are induction hob with built-in extractor. Plinth drawers are a must for short people like me. So much more practical than cupboards going up to the ceiling that'll never be used

I rent, which means solutions for my dinky kitchen cannot be permanent. Here are my three biggest tips. 1. Pare down your stuff. How many spatulas do you need, after all? Also, paring down eliminates the need for a utensil holder on the counter. 2. Get a magnetic knife rack and put it in a convenient space on the wall. No knife block clogging up the counter. 3. My favorite: a two-tier (double decker) dish-drying rack. Get a separate utensil drying holder for cutlery to hang on it. This will increase usable counter space by about 9” (standard racks are 18” long, while two-tiers are half that long).

@neilpickup237 2 жыл бұрын

I have a smallish kitchen and have used as many tricks as I can (many mentioned here) to increase storage capacity. While some may suggest that you don't get a lot of room in a plinth drawer, I have been surprised just how useful even that relatively inefficient use of space is. The biggest gain for me was extra shelves. With the exception of those cupboards where I store taller items, I have been able to squeeze in an extra shelf. Admittedly in a couple of instances the space has been only the height of a mug, but mugs need somewhere to go and most do not stack well. Even these small spaces have been invaluable for storing grill pans, oven shelves etc. along with chopping boards aluminium foil, cling film etc which are long but not very tall, so no requirement to access the rear of the shelf. Alternatively, for a kitchen already with adequate room, extra shelves can allow you to have your crockery immediately accessible rather than having to remove different sized plates etc. before you get to the the one you want. I would also suggest avoiding double cupboards wherever possible. The additional flexibility while positioning shelves more than makes up for the additional cost.

@dyanalayng5507 10 ай бұрын

Great point about the extra shelves! I did that in my fridge to create a more useful shallow area. Alas, I can't do that in my rental kitchen, but plate stackers and IKEA's vertical rack have been very helpful.

Michael.. I have a question.. for induction hobs.. is there anything you can recommend as a protector for the surface? Many thanks! 😊

@kitchinsider 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Grace! You can get liners that you put on the hob to help protect against scratches and scuffs but the pans and induction technology still work through them. Bake-o-glide is a popular brand for them. Personally, I find them a little annoying, so I just try to be aware not to drag pans across the surface and always use a chopping board if I'm working on it.

My idea is to have a 2 ring induction hob instead of a four ring to free up more premium worktop space, especially if you have a steamer as you can steam all your veggies in on pot and cook meat or fish on the other hob. Also get an undercounted fridge freezer to free up more worktop space which should also ecourgae you to eat more fresh ingredients.

Induction hobs can be used as benchtop space though, so it's not so bad having a big one

Hi Michael. I read an article in kitchen insider about ceiling extractor hoods. My concern is that you, like others, only appear to mention sizes in the region of 90 - 120cm or 60x60cm for ceiling hoods. However, these sizes do not benefit anyone trying to work with a small kitchen space. I am looking for 43db - 65 max. powerful extractor 700+ m3/hr Size 60-30cm or 65 -74cm Can you advise?

@kitchinsider Жыл бұрын

Hi Ann, Yes, most ceiling hoods are generally a larger size. It helps to have a greater surface area to extract with the distance they typically sit above your hob in the ceiling, and many have sizeable motors to make them powerful enough to be effective at these distances. Luxair (a brand I've used a lot) have a 'mini' 35cm x 30cm ceiling hood + a few different sizes that might work for you. However, it won't have the kind of m3/hr you've spec'd. They also do a 60cm x 60cm one that is more powerful but not sure what exact size would suit you best. I'd recommend having a look on their site at the different sizes/options they do, you might find a good fit. luxairhoods.com/

When raising children and pressed for time, I would find this extra step would be annoying. Although putting lids in the top drawer is interesting.
