Steels, Metals and Your Kitchen

The last time you switched on the cooking channel, you must have realized that the chef’s kitchen only contained metal cabinets. But do not be surprised to find that your friends too have such cabinets as today, no longer is it required that the chef’s kitchen be reserved only for the chef. You can also create your very own chef’s kitchen in your house by making use of easy to clean, low maintenance and inexpensive appliances and commodities.

The first thing that you have to realize is that most of the kitchen cabinets that you would require have to be made from metal. Of course, you can mix and match by making use of wood as well. For example, you can have a metal refrigerator with wooden cabinets below it giving your kitchen a distinct, modern look.

Many of the appliances that you would purchase such as a toaster, oven, stove as well as microwave are made from stainless steel. While this is a very popular choice since it is resistant to corrosion, it can easily get scratched over time spoiling its look. However, an advantage of choosing stainless steel is that it is available in a wide variety of colours.

Today, another type of metal that is used in the kitchen is copper. Like most other materials, copper also has different degrees of thickness. Usually copper is reserved mainly for sinks and for stoves. But with copper, you can achieve a more retro and modern look for your kitchen.
