5 Essentials Every Dream Kitchen Needs

For many of us who are passionate about cooking, feeding others, and feeding ourselves, the kitchen is a special place, and might even be one of our favorite spots in the home. 

And, of course, a huge part of what makes each of our kitchens so special—and functional—is the choice of appliances and equipment we use within them. Especially considering the fact that we generally use these pieces on a near-daily basis.

If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen, or build one out from scratch, and you truly want to create the kitchen of your dreams, these five appliances from LG STUDIO are the essentials you should consider.

Read on to find out how they can bring your dream kitchen to life.

An InstaView® Door-in-Door® Counter-Depth Refrigerator with Craft Ice™

The refrigerator is essentially the heart of the kitchen, the centerpiece, and home base around which everything else in the space functions. It’s where you store most of your ingredients and where your family members and guests can stop by to grab a cold beverage or weigh their snack options. So, a top-of-the-line refrigerator like the LG STUDIO 24 cu. ft. Smart wi-fi Enabled InstaView™ Door-in-Door® Counter-Depth Refrigerator with Craft Ice™ Maker is a must for any dream kitchen. The fridge’s InstaView feature allows you to see inside the appliance and take a peek at what you have in stock without even opening the door, so you can keep the cool air inside and your food fresh. All you have to do is knock twice and the windowed refrigerator lights up from the inside.

A 9.4 cu. ft. Double Built-in Wall Oven

The LG STUDIO 4.7 cu. ft. Smart wi-fi Enabled Double Built-In Wall Oven is true to its name in that it’s, well, a double oven. This means you’re able to cook a variety of dishes at different temperatures all at the same time. Both ovens come with eight different modes, including the special crisp convection mode, which is well-suited for delicate baked goods like cakes, tarts, cookies or puff pastries, in addition to the proof setting, which creates a warm environment ideal for preparing yeast-leavened products before baking. There are also more traditional settings that enable you to cook anything from casseroles to veggies to proteins. So no matter what you’re making, this oven can handle it—whether you’re preparing a full-on holiday feast or a run-of-the-mill weeknight meal.

A 30” Gas Cooktop

While you’ve got your oven going, you can turn to the LG STUDIO 30” Gas Cooktop to simultaneously cook other items you’ve placed on the day’s menu. This cooktop features five different burners that can accommodate your collection of cookware—including your largest sauté pan—to help you make a masterpiece out of your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. It gives you plenty of space to multi-task, so you can work on different aspects of your meal all at once.

Additionally, red LED lights illuminate on the control knobs when the burner is on, so you can see at a glance what is still cooking.

An Over-the-Range Convection Microwave Oven

If you’re really making a feast and need even more cooking power, you can turn to the LG STUDIO 1.7 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Convection Microwave Oven for quick cooking and ingredient overflow. Its convection technology means your microwave can actually serve as an additional oven in which you can bake or roast in less time. As an added bonus the appliance is also smart. Its sensor cooking feature senses humidity levels within the microwave oven and automatically adjusts cooking time and performance for optimal (and delicious) results.

A Hard-Working Dishwasher

When you envision the kitchen of your dreams, you’re likely picturing a clean space—and a high-quality dishwasher like the LG STUDIO Top Control Smart wi-fi Enabled Dishwasher with QuadWash. This brilliant appliance will make sure your dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and other tools of the trade get clean with a minimal amount of elbow grease on your end.

The appliance’s QuadWash™ and TrueSteam® technologies combine to clean dishes the first time you wash them, leaving no trace of grime behind. Steam at the start of the cycle penetrates caked-on food before the multi-motion spray arms rotate while spinning to reach every nook and cranny of whatever you’re cleaning. Then a second blast of steam helps eliminate water spots during drying—which also means eliminating the need for hand wiping.
