The essence of having a happy and functional kitchen cannot be over-emphasized. After all, this is the source of your family’s comfort, togetherness, and nourishment. Therefore, when remodeling or upgrading your home, one of the places you should focus on is the kitchen. Nonetheless, you might be at a loss on what to do with the old appliances that no longer suit your needs and intended look. Thankfully, you have appliance disposal companies that will safely get rid of your old appliances to make way for a new kitchen look.

With your old appliances out of the way, below are a few trends on which you can base your choice of replacement appliances for a modern kitchen.

Steam ovens

People are now stepping away from conventional gas and electric ovens to steam ovens as over a third of the global population becomes more eco-conscious and looks for ways of saving money. Steam ovens have quicker cooking times, warm food evenly without the risk of drying it, and can be used for cooking, baking, or steaming food. Furthermore, they are among the safest options for cooking because their moist heat reduces the risk of burns.

If you want the healthiest way of cooking food, look no further than a steam oven. Since it uses steam instead of hot air to cook your food, the food keeps its nutrients locked inside. Moreover, with steaming, you negate the use of cooking oil or fat that increases the calorie content of your food.

The refrigerator revolution

Refrigerators are among the kitchen appliances getting a significant upgrade. When considering colors, glass panels for fridge doors and drawers are the way to go. The latest fridges also feature food zones that compartmentalize the foods you want to store to reduce food contamination. The ice makers are upgraded to filter water for your ice making. They make ice cubes of different shapes to attract cocktail drinkers.

You can also kiss fridge handles goodbye with the latest technology. Manufacturers now have smart technologies that enable an auto-assist feature to open and close your fridge door automatically. This means you will not worry about contaminating your hands when cooking as you open and close a refrigerator’s door.

The Bluetooth sync

The promise of syncing your kitchen appliances using a Bluetooth device is enough to get you to call an appliance disposal company to cart away your old appliances. Kitchen appliance manufacturers now want to make life easier by syncing your appliances with a Bluetooth device. This means you can remotely and easily control your appliances.

You need not fear that your old oven timer will overheat your food. You can simply adjust the timer using your Bluetooth device. If you want to preheat the oven before you come downstairs, you can now do so from a Bluetooth device. You can even sync multiple kitchen appliances to cut down their energy consumption.

Finger touching and swipe controls in place of knobs

If you are stuck with old appliances, the chances are that they are being controlled by knobs. These are clumsy to use and pose the danger of snagging your loose clothes as you walk past, causing deadly accidents. Say goodbye to these drawbacks with an investment in appliances operated using finger touching or swipe controls.

Finger touches and swipe controls work through electromagnetic instead of field heat. You can control your cooker’s temperature or turn on your cooker with a simple swipe or touch. There are little indicators on a screen that let you control different things on your appliances while giving your kitchen a clean, streamlined look.

The Wi-Fi connection

2022 is genuinely revolutionizing how you connect with your kitchen. Manufacturers are now producing kitchen appliances that allow you to control everything through your smartphone over a Wi-Fi connection. All you need is a home Wi-Fi that connects to your devices and an app on your phone allowing you to control them.

This means you can now switch on your oven through your phone over Wi-Fi long before you get home or turn down your freezer settings to defrost food before you come home. When you want to walk in and eat hot food, all you have to do is turn on your microwave and heat food before you come home. This seamless technology for your kitchen appliances is sure to ease your life.

Stainless steel appliances

Keeping your kitchen clean to lower the risk of food contamination and deadly diseases is quite challenging. Thankfully, it does not have to be so with an investment in stainless steel kitchen appliances. Unlike wood and other materials, stainless steel is easy to wipe down without damaging it. Moreover, the material is durable, resists smudges or fingerprints, and will reflect natural or artificial lighting in a small kitchen to make it look spacious.

Column freezers and fridges

In the past, fridges and freezers were sold as one appliance. With more people looking for more cold storage space, column freezers and fridges are becoming popular. These are separate vertical appliances with separate doors, one for your door and another for the freezer. You can buy the appliances separately and even install them in different locations, thus saving on the space in your kitchen without sacrificing your cold storage space.

Thankfully, upgrading your kitchen appliances to incorporate the above trends in your kitchen is not so expensive. A few appliance manufacturers even have payment plans to allow you to afford items that might be beyond your financial reach.
