Get Your Kitchen Party-Ready This Summer

With the sun shining and the evenings comfortable again, there’s no doubt summer is the perfect time for hosting dinner parties and backyard BBQs. From appetizers and cocktail hour to delightful desserts and wine, the party starts and finishes in the kitchen. Whether it’s graduation parties, Father’s Day grill-outs, or the 4th of July, make your house the “place to be” with a kitchen that’s always ready for entertaining.

Large Capacity Refrigerator

A party just isn’t a party without food and lots of it. With a refrigerator already packed with this week’s groceries, it’s likely there isn’t much room for 10 marinated steaks and sliced watermelon. Instead of choosing between your family and your dinner guests, upgrade your refrigerator to a large-capacity one with incredible storage options to properly handle any night of the week. When refrigerator shopping, choose a french door refrigerator with at least 26 cubic feet and features flexible storage solutions, such as flip-up shelves, adjustable shelves, and removable bins.

Countertop Space

Proper meal prep comes down to sufficient countertop space. You really don’t want to be slicing fresh veggies on the same are you just prepped raw chicken. If you discover your kitchen doesn’t offer much prep space, start by removing items that can be stored elsewhere (we’re looking at you, ginormous mixer and coffeemaker). If you still don’t have enough space, consider adding a kitchen cart or a kitchen island.

Double Wall Oven

Each dish requires different cooking methods and temperatures. There is nothing worse than accidentally serving a cold dish because there wasn’t space for it in the oven or a burnt dish because it had to cook with other dishes that required a higher temperature. You can perfectly synchronize your dishes with a double wall oven that offers the necessary space and separate cavities for multiple dishes

The Right Dishwasher

No one looks forward to the cleanup after a party (or worse, during a party). However, cleanup doesn’t have to be a chore with a powerful dishwasher designed to tackle everything from wine glasses and large utensils to the baked-on messes from your casserole dishes. Choose a dishwasher that features an adjustable upper rack to adjust for large catering dishes, separate wash zones to focus on your silverware or casserole dishes, and a third rack for added space for those awkward and difficult-to-fit dishwares. It’s also important to choose a dishwasher with a quiet cycle so dinner conversation doesn’t have to be interrupted by the whirring of your appliance.

Beverage Center

Take your refreshment game to a sophisticated level. Let your guests enjoy perfectly chilled refreshments with a beverage center designed to store your beverages at optimal temperatures. It combines convenience and luxury to create an experience your guests will both appreciate and envy.
