Cook with Gas
Cook with Gas
Many homes have electric ranges these days because they’re safe and efficient. But if you’re serious about cooking, there’s no substitute for fire.
Gas ranges cook food faster and more evenly. Because the heat from fire isn’t gradual like the heat from an electric stove, it gives the chef much more control when preparing delicate dishes.
Rethink the Sink
Rethink the Sink
Cooking a chef-worthy meal may involve dozens of ingredients—and there’s never enough prep space. That’s why smart at-home chefs think outside the box to make the most of their space.
The best way to do this in an average-sized kitchen is with a workstation sink. These sinks feature a ledged interior that can hold accessories like a cutting board, drying rack, and more.
This allows you to convert your sink into additional prep space in seconds. As a bonus, prepping above your sink makes clean-up much easier.

If you’re a chef, your kitchen is your construction zone. It’s not a place for dainty appliances and breakable cookware. You can’t be afraid of damaging your kitchen or you’ll severely limit your abilities.
Tough countertops are the place to start. If your counters are up to the task, you’ll be much more comfortable when chopping, taking hot pans off the stove, rolling pasta, and more.
The chef’s choice is stainless steel… but this isn’t very attractive in home kitchens. The next best is quartz. This stone countertop is ultra-strong, sustains high heat, and looks great.
