How to create an elevated, high-performance kitchen

Whether used as a place for families to commune or the setting of a romantic dinner, the kitchen is among the hardest working rooms of the house. With the pandemic bringing to light the joys of home cooking, having a kitchen that works smarter, as well as harder, has become essential. Elevated kitchen design is about more than sleek marble benchtops and chic splashbacks, however. A little technology and innovation also go a long way towards making cooking and entertaining effortless and enjoyable.

From coffee machines to cooktops and everything in between, there are numerous ways to enhance the functionality of your kitchen, with the right appliances making food preparation, cooking, storage, and even cleaning up a breeze. Merging user-centric design with beautifully streamlined aesthetics, ASKO appliances add form and function to your space.

A surefire way to elevate the quality of your cooking, an induction cooktop combines performance with efficiency. With a sleek, modern design that is easily integrated into any kitchen, the vast range of ASKO induction cooktops boasts precise heat regulation, ensuring perfect meals every time. Automatic programs including boil, simmer, wok, fry, grill and keep warm cater to every type of home chef, simplifying the cooking process without compromising on taste. More energy efficient than their gas counterparts, induction cooktops often get the job done twice as quickly, giving you more time to spend eating and entertaining. Best of all, they make clean-up child’s play, with a swish or two enough to keep your space tidy.

The best dishwasher is neither heard nor seen, it simply does. Both the ASKO Classic and Style dishwashers are built-in models, seamlessly integrating into your cabinetry. Classic is suitable for most families, with two flexible baskets fitting up to 14 place settings. For larger households, the Style dishwasher comprises four baskets that hold up to 16 place settings. Working at a low noise level, both come complete with several programs and a turbo drying setting, making it easy to get spotless dishes.

A functional work of art, the Wine Climate Cabinet is set to take pride of place in any kitchen. Keeping your wine where you can see it, the Wine Climate Cabinet merges technology with tradition. Temperature-controlled zones allow bottles to be stored in optimal conditions, ensuring taste and quality are retained as the years go by. Timber shelving makes for a classic aesthetic, while a display section allows you to showcase the tipple of the night. Customisable lighting sets the tone, with bright settings for when you’re serving and softer, warmer tones once you kick back and relax with a glass.

An elevated kitchen is one that makes it easier to do the things you love. Working to set fire to cleanup times, the Pyrolytic Self Clean oven heats up to over 400°C, carbonising any leftovers, grease or grime to ash, which can be easily scooped up or wiped away. Placing cooking performance at its forefront, the Pyrolytic Self Clean oven is equipped with more than 80 automatic programs that work to create culinary masterpieces every time. With its soft black glass with a pearlescent sheen, the oven adds elegant style to any kitchen.
