Kitchen Appliances / Cooking Appliances


Kitchen appliances are electrical/mechanical machines which accomplish some kitchen or cooking functions, such as cooling/heating, cooking or cleaning. Here are some types of kitchen or cooking appliances,

Types of kitchen / cooking appliances :

1. Cookers - 
Free standing ---
These have the oven and hob together in the one unit and can be: all electric, all gas or a combination of both (typically gas hob with electric oven). They come in two main sizes: slim and standard (500mm and 600mm). You can also buy a stand-alone range cooker which can have a width of 1200mm or more. 

Separate hob and oven --- 
Having the oven and hob sited separately is fast becoming the standard way of arranging kitchen appliances. This type of configuration is fast becoming the standard way of arranging a kitchen. It allows the oven to be sited at your chosen height in a cabinet. 

2. Ovens - 
Single ovens ---
Single ovens are usually 600mm wide and can be placed at different heights. 

Double Ovens ---
Double ovens have two cooking spaces and are taller than a single oven. Single ovens can be fitted under the work top in housing (‘built under’). 

Both single and double ovens can be fitted higher into a housing unit at eyelevel (‘built in’). 

3. Hobs - 
Hobs come in a standard width of 600mm but are also available from 300mm (domino hobs) through to 900mm. 

Gas ---
A gas hob is often thought of as desirable because it can quickly change the level of applied heat. Most come with the pan supports fitted as a cast iron tray (or part tray) that sits on top of a recess. The other option (gas on glass) is to have the pan supports as separate items which sit proud on top of a glass ceramic top. 

Electric ---
These come as either solid-plate electric hobs or ceramic hobs. The solid-plate hobs are the more traditional type with a raised circular metal heating plate. The ceramic hob has a coiled element underneath the glass top; some of the older models use a halogen bulb as the heat source. 
Induction 

Induction ---
This technology uses a magnetic field to heat pots and pans placed within the field. The benefits of the technology are that it only heats the pot or pan and not the top glass surface of the hob. It is also very responsive and more energy efficient than gas. A possible downside to induction hobs is they require pots and pans made from stainless steel or cast iron to be able to work. As a rule of thumb if a magnet sticks to the pan then it will work. 

4. Microwave Ovens - 
Standard -- A standard microwave heats food through the use of radiation. 
Combination -- Combination have the standard microwave function as well as a fan assisted oven. Sometimes they also contain a grill. 
Microwave cooking is  quick and convenient safe as it heats the food, not the container energy efficient healthy if done correctly as vitamins and minerals are preserved. Downsides of microwaves include: a limited amount can be done at one time; pastries and pies don’t form crusts; enclosed foods such as eggs and sausages can explode.

5. Refrigerator -
These are essential kitchen appliances which are available at every home and office to preserve the food and other edible items. There are many types of refrigerators which are available in the market. These kinds include one door and double door refrigerators. 

6. Dishwasher -
There are many models of a dishwasher which has become one of the most important items in the kitchen. Some models of dishwasher have dialed in front or are available with the push button control.

7. Stove - 
The stove is one of necessary kitchen appliances which are found in all the homes across the world. There are endless varieties of ovens, burners, and stoves which are available in the market.

8. Toaster ovens -
Toaster ovens are kitchen appliances that have a permanent place in the kitchen due to their adaptability and capability. If you require a quicker toasting slices of bread or baking a small batch of cookies, this ready appliance could do it fine.

9. Deep fryers -
Deep fryers are another kitchen appliances that are becoming more popular since they contribute to a faster and safer way to fry foods. Rather than working with boiling oil and a smoking pan, you utterly pour oil into the deep fryer, set the heat and place your food into a basket. In seconds, you can have yummy French fries, fried chicken or doughnuts with professional results!

Dyes VS. Stains : What is better concrete dye or stain?

Using Dyes On Concrete ? What Are They, And How Do They Differ From Chemical Stains ? What is better concrete dye or stain? Dyes are the latest buzz in the decorative concrete community.  Their ease of use, extensive palette, and vibrancy of color (which can be more intense than chemical stains) are creating a wave of popularity that is gaining momentum. Unlike stains, which react chemically with the calcium hydroxide in concrete, dyes are nonreactive and impart color by penetrating concrete or other porous cementitious surfaces.  Dyes are much smaller in particle size than chemical stains or acrylic stains, thus allowing for easier penetration and color saturation while leaving less residue on the surface.  A good analogy for comparing the color intensity and penetration of dyes to stains is that you can fit a lot more marbles than bowling balls into the same size container.  The small dye particles fill the pores of the concrete and are ...

Acoustic Panel

Acoustic panels are used to reduce noise and control sound in many different spaces. They come in a large variety of sizes, types and colors to meet your design, budgetary, and durability requirements. An acoustic board is a special kind of board made of sound absorbing materials. Its job is to provide sound insulation. Between two outer walls sound absorbing material is inserted and the wall is porous. Thus, when sound passes through an acoustic board, the intensity of sound is decreased. The loss of sound energy is balanced by producing heat energy.
