1. The teppanyaki griddle
The versatile Japanese style grill plate is a fast and fun way to mix and match your favourite ingredients for delicious Oriental style dishes.
This one-piece stainless-steel version, from leading Dutch kitchen appliance brand ATAG, features a removable tray, which makes getting rid of excess oil and grease a breeze.
It also has two flexible cooking zones, separate twin zone controls and is thermostatically controlled between 50°C and 250°C.
Available from Curves & Bevels Designer Kitchens.
2. The stick blender
From Bamix of Switzerland, the Swissline handheld blender offers a multipurpose blade, plus a whisk, beater and processor in one. All parts that come into contact with food are made of top quality rust-free materials, and are odourless, tasteless and food-safe. Available with two speed settings, a 200-Watt heavy-duty motor and soft-grip handle, the nifty little unit also comes with a 900ml Polycarbonate jug and a handy stand.
Available from Homeline Direct.
3. The corner cabinet
The LeMans pull-out cabinet from Kesseböhmer combines efficient space utilisation with great accessibility. The forward-swinging trays move independently of each other, which means you can store lots of pots and pans, yet have each one within easy reach. What’s more, each shelf has a weight-bearing capacity of 20kg, making them virtually impossible to overload, and a ClickFixx automatic self-closing option allows for near-silent cushioned closing.
Available from WSI Designs.
4. The variable-temperature kettle
The KLF02 kettle features the signature curves and fifties-style lettering Smeg is known for, but, instead of just giving you boiling water like most standard kettles, it comes with the choice of seven temperature settings, from 50°C to 100°C. The stainless-steel body offers a capacity of 1.7-litres and the kettle comes with a push-pull opening lid, electronic temperature control, and a keep-warm function that will keep the water warm for 20 minutes.
Available from Smeg.
5. The coloured sink
The Swiss-designed Franke Pebel Fragranite sink at long last gives the home decorator the option of being a little colour-creative in the kitchen. Although manufactured from quality stainless steel, the sink is offered in a palette of sleek modern neutrals, from pearly Oyster and rich Coffee to moody Carbon Black, allowing you to mix-and-match your kitchen furniture and accompanying accessories without being confined to the standard metallics or ceramic hues of old-style sanitary ware.
Available from Franke.
