Instead of rushing to buy all the latest fancy gadgets for your new kitchen, it's best to start with the basics. If you're new to cooking, take some time to experiment and figure out which appliances you really (REALLY) need and whether cooking is something you truly enjoy, or if dabao-ing is more your style. It's better to avoid ending up with expensive kitchen gadgets that will just end up collecting dust at the back of your cabinets.I've outlined here a few kitchen appliances that can be helpful for your first home, along with tips on what to consider when purchasing them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h4>Microwave Oven OR Toaster Oven OR Air Fryer for reheating foods</h4>&nbsp;If you're not a fan of eating leftovers or just prefer reheating on the stove, feel free to skip this entire section. However, if you do rely on reheating food, consider investing in a microwave oven, toaster oven, or air fryer for added convenience.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:810/1080;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/8e52f673-f302-4328-ad50-dd112c55bbcc-blob" width="810" height="1080"></figure>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/anhans-interior-design">Anhans Interior Design</a>&nbsp;Want to keep leftovers moist? Like reheating liquids e.g. soup? A microwave oven should be your go-to. Microwave ovens are also pretty multifunctional nowadays. Some can grill and steam on top of reheating foods.For a crispier texture for your food however, you may want to go for a toaster oven or an air fryer instead. The toaster oven is also a more budget option to built-in ovens, which aren’t absolutely necessary unless you are an avid baker or if you love to roast foods or cook them in the oven frequently (see last section of article). I’ve also used an air fryer in lieu of a built-in oven often—they are surprisingly awesome for cooking salmon.&nbsp;<h4>Rice Cooker for cooking rice or one-pot meals</h4>&nbsp;With rice a staple in many households in Singapore, a rice cooker should be considered part of your kitchen appliance starter kit. They are also super convenient for whipping up quick one-pot rice meals on hectic weekdays—just toss in all your ingredients with the rice and let the cooker do the work. Some people even use them for making congee and soups.&nbsp;When you’re in the market for a rice cooker, you'll find some that are more budget-friendly and simple, just focused on cooking rice without any extra bells and whistles. These usually come with just the ‘cook’ and ‘keep warm’ functions. With these rice cookers, you'll need to pay more attention to the water to rice ratio or you’ll be very acquainted with burnt rice.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:864/1080;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/976d3a5b-2179-4c7b-9706-e765f4df8e7f-blob" width="864" height="1080"></figure>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/couple-abode">Couple Abode</a>Then there are rice cookers that come with fancy buttons, different cooking programmes for various types of rice, and even play a little jingle when your rice is ready. While these models still require the right water to rice ratio, they are a bit more forgiving thanks to their programmed settings. Ones that will adjust temperature and time to account for the differences are commonly known as “fuzzy logic” rice cookers. In my experience testing a few different models, I’ve noticed that these fancier rice cookers tend to take a bit longer to cook as well.&nbsp;Another thing to look out for is the material for the inner pot. A non-stick coating would be useful for clean-up; just make sure you use a wooden rice paddle to scoop rice to avoid scratching the surface. If you are worried about the effects of the non-stick coating, there are ones in the market that carry stainless steel inner pots. These have a higher tendency of sticking (so make sure your ratios are accurate!), but they are able to cook the rice faster and a bit more evenly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h4>Hob for general cooking</h4>&nbsp;A hob is a no-brainer in your first kitchen. With a hob, you'll be able to do a whole multitude of cooking, from steaming and boiling to reheating or grilling. That also means eliminating the need for multiple appliances.When deciding between an induction hob and a gas hob, it really comes down to personal preference. Induction hobs heat up your pan quickly and are easy to clean due to their flat surface, but they require cookware with a magnetic base. Gas hobs offer more versatility for cooking a variety of meals and are a better option if you like to slow-boil soups.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/720;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/2236c2f1-bc22-4ddb-8462-edf8cb5a2a36-blob" width="1080" height="720"></figure>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/the-interior-maison">The Interior Maison</a>&nbsp;The 2-burner or 3-burner question. From my own experience, a 2-burner should do the trick for most home cooks unless you’re really good at juggling multiple dishes at once. With a 3-burner hob, things can also get a bit tight (unless you get a hob with a larger width) so you might have to use smaller pots and pans to make sure everything fits in at once.In terms of size, opt for a smaller width (50-70 cm) if you have a small kitchen. Larger ones (more than 90 cm) work better for those with more countertop space. Never underestimate the need for necessary landing space e.g. for food prep, setting down hot dishes!&nbsp;<h4>Hood for those who cook every day</h4>&nbsp;Confession: I’ve actually managed fine without a kitchen hood by using a powerful fan to clear out the smoke and grease. However, having a kitchen hood can be a worthwhile investment for your first kitchen, especially if your space is poorly ventilated or you tend to cook a lot of meals that emit a lot of grease and smoke.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/724;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/f327d9d3-7469-4c00-bd4e-535cace6753a-blob" width="1080" height="724"></figure>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/space-factor">Space Factor</a>&nbsp;What to look out for when shopping for a kitchen hood? Consider their air extraction rates, which are typically measured in cfm (cubic feet per minute) or m³/h (cubic meter per hour). You’ll need a strong hood with extraction rate of over 350 cfm or above 600 m³/h if you do heavy cooking.There are basically two different kinds of kitchen hoods to pick from: ductless and ducted. Ductless hoods, also known as recirculating hoods, use carbon filters to get rid of odours and smoke before circulating clean air back into the kitchen. Ducted hoods, on the other hand, filter air and push it outside through a ducted piping system, making them more efficient.&nbsp;&nbsp;<blockquote>In search of an interior designer for your dream kitchen?

But if you're okay with waiting a few minutes or don't always need hot drinks, then an electric kettle (usually much cheaper) will work just fine.&nbsp;Some water dispensers even have specific water temperature settings, which can make it a lot more convenient to brew coffees or teas that need a particular temperature. Green teas for instance work best with water temperatures at around 80 deg C.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:720/1080;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/dc6cdf85-23ff-48e0-9c60-8537829aa0d3-blob" width="720" height="1080"></figure>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/chengyi-interior-design">Chengyi Interior Design</a>The downsides of having a water dispenser is the need for more frequent maintenance and the constant need to keep it plugged in (may lead to more electricity usage). You'll have to remember to change the filters every few months (usually between 6 to 12 months), depending on how often you use it. Plus, they can be a bit bulky and take up more space compared to traditional kettles.When you're shopping for a water dispenser, it's important to consider whether you prefer a tankless option that connects directly to your water supply or a model with a tank that needs manual refilling when it runs low. Don't forget to check for self-cleaning options to make maintaining your appliance easier, and look for child-safety features if you have little ones at home.&nbsp;<h4>Blender OR Immersion Blender OR Food Processor for food prep</h4>&nbsp;When deciding between a blender, immersion blender, or food processor, consider your cooking habits.&nbsp;Blenders and immersion blenders are great for making smoothies, soups and purees, with immersion blenders being easier to clean and more space-efficient. Some immersion blenders also come with various attachments like a whisk, which may be useful if you are thinking of whipping cream for baked goods.Food processors are great for grating, shredding, and chopping food, with some also able to make purees (though not as smoothly as a blender) and kneading dough. The downside is that food processors can have several parts to wash, so they can be a hassle during cleanup. If you have a smaller household or don't cook often, I recommend skipping the food processor and just use a knife for everything.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:720/1080;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/2b7058b9-c186-4a47-b2a7-028d2155329e-blob" width="720" height="1080"></figure>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/emie-design">Emie Design</a>There are multifunctional appliances out there that can do the work of both a blender and a food processor, but personally, I find them to be a little too expensive and big. And to be honest, we probably wouldn't even use all of their features enough to make it worth the money. When you're starting out in the kitchen, it really is best to just keep things simple and stick to the basics.&nbsp;<h4>Dishwasher for saving time during clean-up</h4>&nbsp;If you're not a fan of washing dishes by hand, you might want to think about getting a dishwasher. Growing up seeing my grandmothers and mother wash their dishes by hand had me believing that a dishwasher isn’t exactly clean and is a waste of water and electricity. But as I've delved a little bit into how a dishwasher works, I've found that's not necessarily the case.&nbsp;In fact, dishwashers often utilise temperatures higher than room temperature depending on the setting you use, with some going up to 70 deg C to allow for better sanitisation. Some models can even be a more water-efficient option compared to handwashing, especially if you are washing dishes under a running tap.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:878/1080;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/5cf2c9ff-6a2b-40d5-a795-eb1ad22b0b3b-blob" width="878" height="1080"></figure>Design: Right Angle Studio&nbsp;When it comes to choosing a dishwasher, there are different types to consider. If you live in a small condo or HDB, a countertop dishwasher could be a great choice. It's also convenient if you plan to get a dishwasher after your home renovation as it doesn't need installation.Integrated dishwashers are ideal for those who prefer a seamless look in their kitchen, as they blend in with the cabinets, while freestanding dishwashers (like the one seen in the image) can stand alone and are a good option for those who don't want to make too many changes to their existing cabinets.Most dishwashers come in standard 60-cm widths, and has around 12-15 place settings . For reference, one place setting is usually made up of about 10 items or what one person would use in a meal (large plate, small plate, bowl, cup, saucer, and a set of cutleries). Smaller countertop/portable dishwashers are typically around 40-45 cm in width, and have a smaller capacity of around 3 to 6 place settings.Besides the standard cleaning programme, other useful programmes to look out for include a delicate setting or a specific programme just for glassware as well as drying functions. For the drying features, I recommend looking out for ones that make use of residual or natural air in order to save a bit of electricity.&nbsp;<h4>Refrigerator for food storage</h4>&nbsp;Just like the hob, the refrigerator is an obvious appliance in your starter kit. Things to consider? Essentially, your grocery and cooking habits as well as household size. If you're not a frequent cook or don’t bulk buy or stock up on groceries for the week, then there’s no need to splurge on a large fridge that takes up too much space. What about a case for a bigger fridge? Maybe you like to food prep to save time, or you have a habit of freezing food.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/812;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/308a8012-5b2b-47cb-9d13-3a0247077197-blob" width="1080" height="812"></figure>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/fineline-design">Fineline Design</a>&nbsp;There are a few types of refrigerators to consider. For those with smaller kitchens, the top-freezer or bottom-freezer will likely be the most obvious choices. Top-freezer refrigerators are typically cheaper, although you may find it a bit more inconvenient to access items in the refrigerator. This is a great choice for those who tend to use the freezer a bit more. Bottom-freezer models are better for folks who like access to the fridge section a bit more.Larger kitchens or households who cook often can look at side-by-side refrigerators or the french door as they are typically larger and have various compartments allowing for better organisation. Access to both the fridge and freezer is easy for the side-by-side, while the french door refrigerator tends to have a very generous fridge section with a bottom drawer dedicated to the freezer section.&nbsp;<h4>Maybe: Built-in Oven for bakers or home cooks that already use the oven a lot</h4>&nbsp;Investing in a built-in oven is a relatively big decision. I've seen many homeowners buy one and then never actually use it. Before committing to purchasing an oven, it's important to think about whether you'll actually use it. An oven that sits unused for a while can sometimes cause the power to trip when you finally decide to turn it on.If you’re just planning on reheating, keeping food warm or the occasional baked pasta, you might want to consider getting a microwave, toaster oven (no installation needed), or an air fryer instead (see the first point).Built-in ovens are big capacity after all, so think about whether you'll be making food or baked goods in large sheet pans, roasting entire chickens, or baking multiple dishes at once. They are also great for preparing meals for a large family or hosting gatherings.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:719/1080;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/8c9d1457-a5d0-4bbd-a233-322a04bda870-blob" width="719" height="1080"></figure>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/comfort-home-renovation">Comfort Home Interior</a>&nbsp;Most built-in ovens come in standard widths of around 60 cm, but their capacities can vary. Rather than relying on numbers alone, head down to the store and see how much space the inner cavity actually has. The inner cavity of an oven can be very different despite similar capacities in their specs because of how manufacturers design their ovens. For larger households, there are built-in ovens with 90-cm widths, while compact kitchens can look out for ovens with 45-cm widths.If you have a bit more renovation budget to spare, consider if you'll want to splurge on a self-cleaning oven to help with kitchen cleanup. Pyrolytic ovens are a common type of self-cleaning oven. They come with a feature that lets you run the oven at a very high temperature to burn off any food spills or grease during the cooking process. These leftover food bits get turn into ash, which you can then easily wipe away with a cloth when the cleaning cycle is finished and the oven has cooled down.&nbsp;Another type of self-cleaning oven are catalytic ovens that are less expensive. These come with liners on the inside that are chemically treated to absorb grease automatically. Through high heat (above 200 deg C), oxidation takes place, letting the grease residue burn off or soften over time, thus making it easier to wipe down the oven after use. Depending on your level of maintenance, the liners may need to be replaced when the chemical treatment wears off or gets damaged.

The Kitchen Appliance Starter Pack for New Homeowners

Even if you have a basic floor plan, there are still ways to make it special. In this article, we show you how you can flesh out a standard 4-room BTO layout into five different designs that suit your needs, budget and lifestyle.&nbsp;<h4>1. The business suite</h4>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/d84546d7-a6d8-482c-b80c-cac9f5f0f15a-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;If you need to work from home, having a private home office for all those Teams meetings can really make a difference. This particular layout stands out with its workstation enclosed behind glass panels, allowing the home to still feel spacious and bright.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:901/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/a6d5f4df-53cc-4b78-8bf6-4fa75ecebaaf-blob" width="901" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/901;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/3fbccff8-ddb4-486e-b6ee-a28d07faefb4-blob" width="1200" height="901"></figure>&nbsp;We call this layout here a suite because the neutral colour scheme here makes it feel like one, while the use of elegant materials only adds to the luxury. Rather than have the dining table as a standalone somewhere, the built-in one located just outside the kitchen helps to maximise space and also create a more seamless look throughout the whole BTO.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/901;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/df0a9b9b-a186-471a-80e9-d0b6b323b95d-blob" width="1200" height="901"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/901;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/871f304a-0fb9-48eb-b263-e096a3a03089-blob" width="1200" height="901"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/fineline-design">Fineline Design</a>&nbsp;<h4>2. A couple’s boutique hotel</h4>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/f8523069-9cbd-48c3-ae78-a5ead7365776-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;This 4-room BTO layout was transformed into a charming haven for a couple. By merging two bedrooms, they were able to create a spacious en-suite complete with a lounge area and walk-in wardrobe. The addition of glass French doors between the sleeping quarters gives the space a boutique hotel feel.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/857;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/159f0e0e-abf0-4f4b-bb15-14aefb55dbbe-blob" width="1200" height="857"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/7a283c73-a7ad-41b5-a5da-ddba01dd0a28-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/4775beae-6eba-47c1-9a48-df3a0a6cb0eb-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;The couple chose a U-shaped open kitchen design because they preferred a casual breakfast counter over a full-sized dining table. It extends out from the counters, making it a versatile space for not only meals but also for working and entertaining.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:801/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/68bae1cb-9bd3-4181-8cb8-d3494bb60dd3-blob" width="801" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/d5eb7f79-d10f-4962-93ef-607731d1c94d-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/e34f38f2-0e3e-4e4d-aa4b-6fb80a527e02-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/authors-%E2%80%A2-interior-&amp;-styling">Authors Interior &amp; Styling</a>&nbsp;<h4>3.

By switching up the living and dining spaces, there's now enough space to accommodate bigger dinner parties. The living room, tucked away behind a sliding door, has a cosier and more intimate feel to it. Plus, with a workstation included in the living room, it creates a great communal area that allows the homeowners to do separate things while still being in the same place together.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/9a7321f6-23d0-4ca5-908f-a5f83d03a639-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/45692854-443d-4692-8e5f-30c4e3d49e00-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/71564ebb-26de-4a37-984e-1a7fb8c7006f-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;They also went with an open kitchen with a generous island, perfect for setting out a buffet table during gatherings! Tying everything together is the same cement screed floor, with walnut tones throughout for that warm and inviting feel.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:857/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/844c41c3-643d-4351-93fa-343363cf1c10-blob" width="857" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/bf322126-e926-4e19-ae31-71a8d1e2c2f9-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/threehaus-works">Threehaus Works</a>&nbsp;<h4>4.

An extra bedroom has been converted into the main living room, with the TV wall in between to partially hide the structural wall.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/55e3a9f9-f068-4479-a203-a7eda1482014-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/d17d43ec-d579-4c49-a443-39d9410df6e0-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/75e9a806-5ebe-47fc-8c88-b6e676036613-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;Instead of a kitchen island, a peninsula counter is flush to the wall to maximise space and create more room for traffic flow. Plus, the counter has seating, making it a great spot for that lazy weekend breakfast.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/b7384d84-cf84-49a4-922b-c2bcef1c6b2c-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/staging-editor/3e4cfda1-9474-4c17-a122-61860616077a-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/space-atelier">Space Atelier</a>
