Having a small kitchen does not mean having to give up some of the best appliances on the market. Luxury, elegant, and high-quality pro-style appliances were not designed solely for those with more square footage. In fact, it is safe to say that, in this instance, you can have your cake and eat it, too. Sometimes residences just come with an inadequate kitchen. But, don’t feel like you need to resort to smaller, generic appliances to fit the space. For those whose skills are great and who know the difference between quality and lack thereof, then you will be thrilled to discover that there are appliances out there to meet your cooking needs and the size of your kitchen. We’ve put together a list of the best appliances for small kitchens – kitchens like yours. The Best Range for Small Kitchens When you want the best of something, a regular range won’t do. No, no. If you have any experience in the kitchen, then you know that the best range for small kitchens is going to be one that offers dual fuel. Yes, that’s right – dual fuel – as in two types of fuel. Why dual-fuel? Well, chefs will quickly tell you that for precise temperature control while cooking on a stovetop, you need gas heat. However, for even baking and continuous heat flow, you need an electric oven, whereas a gas oven provides fluctuating heat. You may be thinking by now that this seems like something that will not fit into a small package, right? Well, good news! It does. Thor Kitchen’s 30-inch dual fuel range, model number HRD3088U, in stainless steel provides you with a luxury, pro-style appliance that your kitchen will love. It is easy to maintain and it fits nearly every design style. The best part? It is four burners that heat up to 18,000 BTU – and all of these great features: Black Porcelain stovetop drip pan for easy cleaning Blue porcelain oven interior – also for easy cleaning CSA Certified 3 x Continuous flat cast-iron cooking grates for the easy movement of large cookware 4.2 cubic feet of oven capacity Commercial Convection Fan circulates heat to maximize even cooking Two Halogen Lights illuminate the oven cavity In other words, this small range can give your kitchen a big feel. The Best Range Alternative for Small Kitchens Sometimes small kitchens just feel, well, small. And, their ventilation system is not the best. What does that mean? Well, if you do a lot of cooking – or any cooking at all – your entire kitchen can quickly be filled with steam, heat, and misery. Not interested in this? Then perhaps you should choose Thor Kitchen’s 30-inch induction cooktop, model number HIC3001. When it comes to choosing a stove or cooktop for the space, going with an induction cooktop can provide many great benefits. See, induction cooking does not produce the heat that normal gas or electric cooktops would – and it is all thanks to the induction cooking method. Why not reduce the heat and enjoy the four full-size burners with a digital control panel – with no protruding knobs to boot? The Best Refrigerator for Small Kitchens A kitchen is not complete if it doesn’t have a refrigerator. But, how do you save space and have a refrigerator that looks delightful and uniform in the space? You opt for Thor Kitchen’s model number HRF3602 French door refrigerator with recessed handles. Also complete with a beautiful stainless steel finish, this refrigerator fits perfectly flush with the countertops. It may not seem like much, but the space saved by removing handles makes a huge difference. The French doors also help with space. Rather than having to open a large full-size refrigerator door, these doors only open half as wide – saving you a ton of space. Of course, keep in mind that this pro-style refrigerator comes with a plethora of other not-to-be-missed features, such as an automatic ice maker, moveable shelving, and more. The Best Dishwasher for Small Kitchens Again, small kitchens do not mean giving up conveniences – and this includes a dishwasher. Finding one that will fit perfectly with your décor and adhere to your space requirements is key. Thankfully, Thor Kitchen has the best solution with its 24-inch dishwasher, model number HDW2401SS. Want the benefit of not having to wash your own dishes? Then you will love this stainless steel dishwasher that fits uniformly with your other appliances. Designed with top controls means you won't have any knobs or controls on the outside to bump on accident in your small kitchen. Not to mention how much a dishwasher can cut down on your water usage while properly sanitizing your dishes. Perhaps one of the best perks of this dishwasher is that it doesn’t skimp in space. It will still hold all your dishes and clean them efficiently. And, don’t worry – your small space won’t amplify the noises of this quiet machine. Besides, it has a delay start button so you can wash your dishes whenever the time is right for you. The Best Microwave for Small Kitchens Face it – you need a microwave. In fact, it is safe to say that they are a necessity for every kitchen. You may use it often, or maybe just to re-heat something or when you find yourself in a time crunch. Either way, it’s a convenience. Many people opt for the variety that sits front and center on your countertop. As you know, though, when you are working with a small kitchen, you don’t have all the extra space to do that. Investing in a countertop microwave means losing counter space for other important things – and no one wants to give up that sacred space. Thor Kitchen’s stainless steel 30-inch microwave, model number, HOR3001, installs directly above your range. And, yes, that includes your 30-inch dual fuel range discussed above – or any 30-inch range for that matter. Installed directly above makes the two look like one appliance. You can learn to love your small kitchen when you have the right appliances. And Thor Kitchen can help you do just that with all of these best appliances for small kitchens.
