Did you know that you can add features to the heart of your home to make tasks like baking easier and more convenient? Even small changes in your kitchen can make the room more suited to baking. Read on for tips on how to plan a kitchen for an avid baker from trusted kitchen remodelers.
Go for a Bigger Island
Every baker wants a large kitchen island. You can use the island for rolling out dough or as a place to cool your baked goods. However, if you have a smaller space, consider a kitchen cart instead.
When adding a new kitchen island, be mindful of storage, add outlets for smaller appliances and choose a heat-resistant countertop. If possible, add a prep sink to your island. Allocate a lot of room to walk around the island and make sure there is enough clearance for the dishwasher and refrigerator doors.
Select the Ideal Countertop Material
When planning a kitchen remodeling project, consider countertop materials like granite and marble. These options are great for baking because they feature a non-stick rolling surface. They are also easier to clean and do not require a lot of upkeep. Another good countertop material for baking is quartz because it stays cool.
Get Two Ovens
Wall-mounted double ovens are must-haves for bakers. With two ovens in your kitchen, it will be easier to make multiple batches at once and save you time. This feature is also great to have for those who love hosting gatherings for families and friends that involve preparing large meals.
Have Enough Storage for Pans & Cookbooks
Tray dividers are a great investment. With tray dividers in cabinets, you will have enough space for muffin tins, cookie sheets and even shallow baking trays. You don’t necessarily need to keep your cookbooks in the cupboards. You can go for open shelving storage for your most-used cookbooks. You can easily reach them when needed and they will add some appeal to your space.
