These 5 Kitchen Appliances Have Become Our Must-Have Entertaining Essentials
As the world returns to hosting again, these sleek appliances will wow guests and make entertaining easy, breezy.
After more than a year of virtual birthday parties, graduation celebrations, and even weddings, we are thrilled to begin the return to hosting once again. It's high time to refresh that party closet, find inspiration for outdoor entertaining, and show your guest rooms some love. It's also time to consider the state of your appliances.
Though our houses may not have been full of cocktail party guests or extended family for holiday brunches this year, our kitchen appliances have been hard at work nourishing our families, keeping our dishes sparkling clean, and chilling those much-needed bottles of our favorite French vino. Now they're about to be the secret behind our hosting prowesses, creating lavish experiences for overnight guests and making post-party cleanup and preparations alike a breeze. Here are our favorites to consider next time you're looking to upgrade your kitchen.
48-Inch Dual-Fuel Range and Electric Self-Clean Oven
This one's for the aspiring chefs. Home cooks will swoon over this swanky new professional-grade appliance that features a griddle, six brass power-burners that can boil water in less than six minutes, and dual self-cleaning electric ovens. A dual convection fan ensures all seven oven racks are at just the right temperature for your baking and roasting needs. Plus, the griddle space ensures having a full house for breakfast is infinitely easier.
The ultimate appliance for the most discerning of hostess? A sleek, integrated coffee machine from Miele. This easy-to-use (and clean) appliance allows overnight guests to craft a perfect morning beverage with ease. Lattes, cappuccinos, and more can be created for up to two users at once, ensuring your household gets caffeinated in half the time.
Signature Kitchen Suite 24-Inch Integrated Column Wine Refrigerator
Signature Kitchen Suite 24-Inch Integrated Column Wine Refrigerator
We've sung the praises of an easily accessible wine fridge for awhile now, and it's definitely a must-have for the in-the-know hostess. This sleek, integrated wine column refrigerator can slide in between a fridge and freezer or take shape on its own. This model holds up to 113 bottles with three independent temperature zones. The door holds UV-protected glass with touch display lighting for a tech-savvy touch.
Sub-Zero 15" Ice Maker with Pump
Two of the most popular appliance trends of 2021 are the craft ice maker and extra under-counter refrigerators, so why not get an appliance that checks both boxes? This under-counter ice maker is idea for elevating a home bar, kitchen, or another highly trafficked common area. It's also panel-ready to fit right in with your cabinetry. Plus, it saves you time during a gathering, as guests will know exactly where to refresh a glass of their favorite spirit or soda.
While a dishwasher may sound less sexy than, say, a wine fridge, we consider this appliance the unsung hero of at-home gatherings. This sleek integrated dishwasher features an intelligent basket design and maximum flexibility to ensure all your dishes, platters, utensils, and serving bowls fit inside once the last guest has left.
This appliance not only cleans dishes in under an hour, but the water supply is designed to reduce consumption, making this dishwasher a feel-good purchase that will benefit you for years to come. Plus, it connects to the Miele@home app, which allows control of your appliances from anywhere.
