Must Haves For Master Chefs

Must Haves For Master Chefs

Ever fancied yourself a dab hand in the kitchen? Think you could create a far better blancmange than that chap on MasterChef?  Well now you can ensure you have the kitchen on your side for your next culinary adventure.

BBC’s MasterChef has been whetting our appetites for far more than the latest take on a Sunday roast. Audiences have become used to seeing gleaming, stainless steel kitchens with powerful ovens, stocked full of all the latest gismos and gadgets for the fancy chef.

Brand new features, formerly only used in commercial restaurants, now make their way into the everyday kitchen. Telescopic oven shelves, like those in the picture, may sound like something aboard the space shuttle, but their presence on our television screens have made them something of a must-have for the aspiring master chef.

These shelves allow you to pull them out at full capacity, letting you simply place dishes on top of them without having to stick your arm into the oven to do so. This reduces the risk of burning, and perhaps more importantly for the master chef, it reduces any time wasted.

The simple hob also gets a makeover in the modern kitchen.

Wok burners have become increasingly popular since shows like MasterChef wowed audiences with fiery stir-fry displays. If you want a traditional Asian dish, the modern wok will simply not do. In order to use the authentic rounded wok, a wok burner is an essential addition to any hob.

The ring balances the wok evenly and stops it from coming into direct contact with the heat. The flames can then tickle the base of the curved pan, treating you to the perfectly cooked beef in black bean sauce.

A stainless steel canopy hood available at My Beautiful Kitchen is now an expectation among the would-be master chef who needs the powerful extraction and recirculation it provides.

In terms of an extractor hood with elegance as well as power, Hotpoint offers a beautiful range of powerful canopies to complement their stoves. Their impressive design and stainless steel gleam is sure to have the desired impact.

Perhaps one of the most common expectations for a master chef’s kitchen is the inclusion of an island. Not just any island however, today’s culinary adventurer needs a tiered island bench, worthy of those seen on TV.

A tiered island such as the one used in the Avant Beige And Ebony kitchen from My Beautiful Kitchen makes cooking the focal point of the room and gives you a worktop and eating area all in one.

 

Whatever your choice for your kitchen, taking some fun MasterChef inspiration in the form of high tech gadgets and sweeping worktops is sure to make cooking that bit more interesting. And who knows – you might find yourself on television after you’ve perfected your skills in your very own MasterChef kitchen!
