Browse Forums Kitchen Corner Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 21May 01, 2013 7:24 pm I'd actually go an oven that does a steam clean. More energy efficient and doesn't take nearly as long I always love seeing how people choices differ on these kinds of things. In hindsight I wish I had got two 600 ovens rather then the 900, would have been much more practical in many ways Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 22May 01, 2013 7:34 pm Pot drawers everywhere. The only cupboards we are having is under the sink. 950mm cutlery draw with built in insert. I think that normal cutlery drawers are not wide enough and they are always overflowing Large oven. I cook two roasts at once with all the trimmings and need to out two roasting pans side by side Large sink without a draining board - I don't wash up Microwave with a trim kit - hate the space around a microwave Modified Fernside 38 Rawson Homes Blog: http://www.thehousethatmatandjenbuilt.blogspot.com Build Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=60501 Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 23May 01, 2013 8:58 pm fmac In hindsight I wish I had got two 600 ovens rather then the 900, would have been much more practical in many ways I believe so too, a 900 mm wide oven is not the best solution. If you are making cakes, it is harder to get an even heat. Better are 2 ovens, a 600mm wide, the other a compact one with additional steam or microwave. Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 24May 01, 2013 9:25 pm If money was no object I would have gone a regular 600 and a steam oven that can be used as a standard oven as well.

Favourite thing in our whole house! I checked out the price of these - we have one at work, they are great Hmm $4000 plus though - and here's me trying to trim the budget!

Miele starts a new product series, sooner or later they have to get rid of their old stock. http://www.current.com.au/2013/03/28/ar ... CLYND.html Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 31May 02, 2013 10:12 pm We are in the process of putting a new kitchen in the house we are renno'ing. Here is my list: Induction cooktop - I've just got a 5 burner Miele for my new kitchen, cant wait!!! Lots and lots and lots of draws, I've got about 20 in our new kitchen Bin Draw Pull down sprayer tap Blind corner cupboards with pull out lazy susan's for heavy items Spice, oil and cookbook draw next to cooktop Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 32May 02, 2013 10:46 pm Mitchandamy We are in the process of putting a new kitchen in the house we are renno'ing.

The blind corner with a lazy susan is actually not a good solution. Compare to a cabinet with drawers, you loose at least one level, possibly two. Secondly those inserts are not really designed to hold heavy items. Ask your kitchen supplier and he might tell you that it is only 20kg per level whereas a drawer can carry 35kg or more. If you left the blind corner blind and made the adjacent cabinet wider you actually have gained more space. Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 33May 02, 2013 11:41 pm Our pot draws are 900mm and the banks of draws along our breakfast bar/servery area are 800mm. Thanks for your advice re: blind corners, but we are very happy with them. Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 34May 03, 2013 12:03 am We are adding an additional bench area/ space to put fruit bowls. Our fruit bowls are taking up the bench space in our current kitchen and it makes it feel cluttered. This will be above more cupboards so creates more storage space. We currently have one blind corner with a lazy susan and it is fantastic - we wish we did it with the other blind corner that we currently have. New kitchen is doesn't have any blind corners but if we had them we would definitely do the lazy susan option again. Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 35May 03, 2013 8:23 am We couldn't afford a lot of pot drawer's so in our scullery we deleted the middle shelf and will add drawer systems and carousels for the corners. We also deleted middle shelf in one of the laundry cupboards so we could fit a linen hamper inside Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 36May 03, 2013 8:54 am Mitchandamy Our pot draws are 900mm and the banks of draws along our breakfast bar/servery area are 800mm. Thanks for your advice re: blind corners, but we are very happy with them. so you must have a pretty large kitchen, very nice. I just had a look at those lazy susan thingy. It can carry actually max 35 lbs per shelf and the weight must be evenly distributed. In my view they are flimsy and to me rather oldfashioned. Tall pull out cabinets are another invention I'm not keen on. They are expensive and every time you want something one have to pull out the whole cabinet inside. Over time the weight has an effect on the connections. And if something spills into the cabinet it is hard to clean. Plus between each level more "empty space" is needed to get items out. A tall cabinet with internal drawers is the better option. The downside is that one has to open the door first and then pull out the drawer. Re: What do you wish your kitchen had? 38May 08, 2013 10:36 am Things in my 5 yr old kitchen I love: lots of SOFT-CLOSE drawers (just don't put your fingers in when it's closing - they close hard) 80cm wide cutlery drawer with double-decker insert - a cutlery divider that slides back to reveal a second layer for seldom used things (fancy silver, chopsticks, straws, picnic set etc) plenty of power points large bin drawer under main benchtop (wipe bench clean straight into bin!) induction cooktop Things to add next time: pullouts for corner cupboards (actually ordered these but when I saw the baskets were alot smaller than the cupboards I thought they would waste too much space & sent them back. They were $500 each but Ikea has a version for $175. Will get them next time as there's no point filling the cupboard if it's too much trouble to get anything out.) more space for serving trays and large baking trays storage for extra beer, soft-drinks and large cake-tins (when they have cake inside) garbage disposal in sink (hubby & kids leave food scraps in sink) drawer for teatowels Thanks mate. Yeah good points! Leaning towards Option 3 to get a bit extra space in the cabinets but not going too crazy high (and expensive).
