Even with today's expansive kitchens, counter space can be at a premium, especially with all the gadgets we have, from bread and Panini makers to blenders, toaster ovens and microwaves.
As anyone who loves to cook knows, it doesn't take long before your counters are filled, not only with your appliances, but pots, pans and mixing bowls. This is particularly true when you're hosting a party.
Kitchen island carts can be a real godsend in these cases. Easy to move about and offering lots of convenience, kitchen island carts offer you a lot of flexibility when it comes to meal preparation and having enough room to spread out.
Kitchen island carts come in all shapes and styles in the furniture market in Bhiwandi and other area as well. The most basic models are simply a rolling cart with some shelves and a tabletop. These are great for holding your extra cookware or even the microwave and other appliances to free up your regular counter space. Down below, you can keep your bowls and cooking utensils.
Some kitchen island carts can also double as breakfast bars, having a fold up counter on one side where you can place a couple of stools. These are great for friends who love to cook since you can entertain and eat as you cook. This style of cart is ideal for those who love sushi, since you can prepare the sushi right in front of your guests.
More sophisticated and full featured carts include some really thoughtful additions. This includes storage drawers to store utensils as well as a knife block on the side that can provide you ready access to your favorite chef knives. Others have a towel rack on one side, so you can easily wipe your hands in between preparation steps.
While you can get kitchen island carts with open bottoms, many homeowners prefer ones with cabinets. This greatly expands your storage in the kitchen, which is terrific for those in condos or smaller homes. Here you can keep all your bowls, bake ware and cookware handy.
Of course, many of today's homes have built-in islands, so why would you need kitchen island carts? One of the great advantages of kitchen island carts is mobility. They can be rolled out of sight and out of mind when you need a more open kitchen, and then be brought in at a moment's notice when the occasion warrants.
They are particularly handy for renters who aren't exactly allowed to tear out the existing kitchen and remodel so you have enough room to cook the way you want to. The cart can sit against a wall and be brought into service, giving you a lot of extra prep space without having to surrender your damage deposit.
But kitchen island carts have one more cool trick up their sleeve, one that cooks may not be aware of. If you love to cook indoors and outdoors, you can use your kitchen island carts to do all the prep work for an outdoor cookout in the kitchen.
Load the cart up with everything you need - the main course, the sides, all the serving ware and secret sauces, rubs etc. When you're ready, roll the cart from the kitchen out onto the deck. There you can use the island as extra counter space, including using the tabletop for a cutting board.
When you're all through. Roll everything back into the kitchen on the cart. No more shuttling dishes and utensils back and forth a load at a time. Everything is on the island, ready to be put away or cleaned whenever you're ready.
Kitchen carts are a great addition to any home, especially if you love to entertain but never seem to have enough counter space or storage.
