The kitchen has become a multi-function space. Consumers not only want efficiency and great design they are looking for a connection to the outdoors, innovative technology, wellness, nutrition, and sustainability. We are fortunate in California to have a year around outdoor lifestyle and Kalamazoo Gourmet makes some of the best outdoor grilling appliances available on the market. The Gaucho Grill is perfect for entertaining. L’Atelier oven is an investment but it should be considered as a legacy purchase which makes it more sustainable.
The Irinox blast chilling product features technology only used by professional restaurants and hotels that enables you to master your cooking with perfect preservation, with stored frozen food thawing exactly as it was when fresh.
DORNBRACHT
A true classic for over 20 years, Dornbracht’s MEM fittings series is now available for the kitchen.
Impressive in terms of design and functionality, MEM does not need much to create a striking presence in the room. This is why its trademark – a flat, rectangular spout with a 180-degree bend – is now found in the new kitchen version. A total of eleven finishes are available for the series, which include the new Champagne (22kt Gold), Brushed Champagne (22kt Gold), and Dark Chrome finishes.
IRINOX
Triple your food’s shelf life by blast-chilling it before storing it in the fridge. Irinox’s blast chillers rapidly lower food temperature to 37ºF, quickly dropping through the range where bacteria can proliferate. This is ideal for preserving the quality, fragrance, colors, and aromas of food. Irinox’s blast chillers also offer a shock-freeze cycle, which rapidly takes the food to 0°F at the core. The result: perfect preservation, with stored frozen food thawing exactly as it was when fresh.
