Simple gas stoves brought efficiency and control to the kitchen. They pushed the chulah and the kerosene stoves out of the kitchen and ushered in a new era. Managing heat in the kitchen was never so easy. Gone were the smoky chulahs, the kerosene stoves that needed constant pumping up, and the noisy and the stinky kerosene stoves. The two, three-burner gas stoves brought a fine control over heat and could be started or switched off instantly. Also, the heat rate could be much higher, whenever necessary. This greatly increased cooking speed. And the pots did not get blackened from the outside, needing a pain-staking scrubbing effort regularly. The gas stoves thus made kitchen an inviting place.
Other developments
The almost simultaneous advent of pressure cookers, small appliances, blenders and mixers transformed the kitchen, made cooking easier, increased cooking speeds greatly and turned the attention of the people towards kitchen aesthetic. Perhaps for the first time, women and home appliances producer began to think seriously about how every product could look better in addition to performing better.
The improving kitchen
The kitchen platform, racks, containers began to get better not only functionally, but also aesthetically. The simple gas stoves were replaced by fine stainless steel stoves and then by ceramic cook tops. Even the induction cooking ranges were provided with ceramic cook tops. Ceramic cook tops look the best. They can be cleaned easily. Simply wiping off the blot can often be enough. Only the more obstinate stains have to be properly washed with the right soap. They bring an aura of exalted dignity to the kitchen. With an efficient chimney is placed strategically over the ceramic cook tops, the looks of the kitchen suddenly improve beyond imagination.
Ceramic cook tops look the best
Most manufacturers of gas stoves and induction cook tops now come up with ceramic cook tops. More and more people can now afford them. They bring in variety, a fetching design and the workmanship is great. The price is not something either the buyer or the manufacturer is bothered about, as the main point of it all is beauty. And beauty can never have a price tag. So spectacular ceramic cook tops have now become a norm.
Redesigning of kitchen elements
Along with the cook tops, most other kitchen fixtures too are getting redesigned to look neater and more beautiful, without, of course, losing their performance levels. Just have a look at the new generation of refrigerators. They are looking sleeker, brighter and are designed for higher efficiency and space. The furniture in the kitchen makes one wonder if it really is a kitchen after all. The kitchen floor and the kitchen walls are as sleek and smooth as the main hall.
The future kitchen
The kitchen will remain one of the major centers of family life. It has now been adequately improved functionally so as to make cooking a pleasing experience as against an avoidable burden. Once every aspect of it designed beautifully, without losing its working efficiency, it will mean that much more of quality time for the members of the household. That era is coming.
