htcityHINDUSTAN TIMES, NEW DELHITHURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2019 LIFESTYLE 05
The festive season is here
again and with guests
constantly pouring in,
all you need is a modular
kitchen to enhance the look
of your home. Here is the
story of Supriya Mehta,
a teacher whose home
received a new facelift for the
festivity. Walking towards
her newly-designed kitchen
she tells her friend Nikita,
an engineer, that a kitchen
should be modern.
And truly, as they enter
her kitchen, Nikita notices
the modular kitchen with top-
notch built-in appliances from
Glen — it does look like a
space for culinary excellence.
The new modular form of
the kitchen comes equipped
with all the appliances
necessary for cooking. “Be
it snacks, dinner or dessert,
the convenience that a
modular kitchen provides is
unparalleled,” Supriya tells
her friend. The all-rounder
oven and microwave to sleek
hob, a chimney with powerful
suction and a dishwasher —
she already has experimented
with it all.
Today, as Supriya invites
her friend along with her
family over for dinner, she
lets the magic of her cooking
impress the guests. As
expected, the dinner goes
well and she is praised by
all. But deep down,
she thanks her modular
kitchen with smart
built-in appliances,
which acted as her
helping hand in every
preparation.
By the end of the
dinner, Nikita asks
her friend a question – is
modular kitchen with smart
appliances really a good
investment? How convenient
is it to use these appliances?
And Supriya smiles, and
replies, “People who often
refrain from opting for
modular kitchens, I wish
to tell them how I think I
took the right decision.
My modern kitchen has
revamped the ways of our
living and the kind of food
we eat. The addition of
built-in appliances is
the icing on
the cake.”
Then she explains to
her friend in a step-by-step
process how the era of the
modern kitchen is here, and
shows the changes she made
to her kitchen. The sleek
built-in hobs have replaced
bulky gas stoves and the
freestanding ones that occupy
a lot of counter space have
made way for seamless built-
in microwaves and ovens.
Cleaning dishes, too, is no
longer just a manual task, as
the dishwashers blending well
into the layout of modular
kitchen has made it easier
than ever.
“Built-in
appliances
maximise
kitchen
space and
create an
uncluttered look for your
kitchen. They also offer
flexibility of choice and
adjustment depending on the
kitchen layout,” she adds.
Supriya proceeds to tell her
friend about some of the best
built-in appliances from Glen,
and their advantages.
Built-in microwave:
The microwave tops the
list when it comes to kitchen
convenience. With Glen,
you get the freedom of
buying a built-in microwave.
There is a range to choose
from, starting with the basic
to the fully loaded one,
supplied with touch controls,
convection cooking and
combi oven.
Built-in ovens: They are
style statements, easy to use,
and are available in 60cm
or 45cm height to match
your microwave oven.
Choose the required
size according to the
space available.
They come with
innovative touch
controls, smooth
functioning, and
minimalistic design.
Glen’s built-in ovens
make a big style
statement, too,
for a modern
kitchen.
Built-in
hobs: The
most used
appliance
as for
everyday
cooking is the gas hob. With
rising minimalism, built-in
hobs are the new best thing.
Till a few years back, the
hobs imported from Europe,
meant for slow cooking,
weren’t quite to the liking
of Indian customers. But
Glen introduced hobs with
double ring of flame burners,
suitable for Indian cooking.
Now, the made-in-India hobs
suitable for Indian cooking
requirements are a perfect
addition to the modular
kitchen. Fitted with
Italian gas valves for
total safety, it offers
choice of enameled and
brass burners,
toughened glass with
a 5-year warranty,
multi-spark auto
ignition, apart from
different sizes,
shapes and colours.
The chimney:
Indian cooking,
without a
chimney, can
become a
nightmare. Powerful
suction chimneys remove
the smoke and odour and
keep the kitchen area
clean, nowadays.
Glen has a range to suit
every need, from island
Chimneys and downdraft
hoods to wall mounted
chimneys. These come in
various sizes, colours, and
systems like European or
Heat Auto Clean and split
chimneys for low noise. It’s
a vast range to choose from.
The dishwasher: No more
arguing with the maid about
not cleaning the utensils
properly. The built-in
dishwasher from Glen is
designed to clean your dirty
dishes with no fuss. From
tough oil stains to stubborn
spice marks, the automatic
wash program tackles
everything conveniently,
saving your time and efforts.
These are crafted to blend
perfectly with your kitchen’s
interiors and space.
Understandably, Nikita is
excited about the joys of a
modular kitchen and has
started toying with the
idea of remodelling her
old kitchen before Diwali.
She wants to opt for
built-in appliances, and
remembers what her
friend told her - ‘Just
keep three words in
mind while deciding –
Glen, efficiency, and
ease.’ HTC
