MEAL PREP

All in One The Billings Neoroc Workstation Sink by Kohler is designed for both food prep and cleanup with custom accessories that integrate effortlessly into the ledge, streamlining tasks such as chopping, rinsing, drying and storing. Neoroc is a matte-finish composite material with advanced scratch, stain and fade resistance. The deep bowl accommodates large cookware while a right rear drain increases workspace within the sink and maximizes storage space underneath. It comes in three sizes, six colors and with accessories that include a cutting board, drain board, colander/drying rack, soaking bin with drain, and stainless-steel bottom sink rack.
Induction Cooking New to Dacor’s Transitional portfolio are 30- and 36-inch Energy Star®-certified induction ranges equipped with a 4.3kw cooktop for fast and intensive cooking to seal in flavor. A 7-inch sync burner allows you to control two burners simultaneously to create one cooking zone for larger cookware. The ranges feature technology to minimize the humming sound commonly produced when multiple induction rings are used at the same time. They also include Air Sous Vide and Air Fry cooking, a system to evenly distribute heat in the oven, a stainless steel mesh filter to prevent crossover of flavors in the oven and Wi-Fi-enabled voice control.
Speed Oven The Sharp Celerity™ High-Speed Oven features advanced technology that, for example, can cook a whole chicken about three times faster than a conventional oven. Celerity, which was named Best in Show by The Kitchn at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show earlier this year, features the industry-first Golden Heater technology, which reaches high temperatures rapidly, as well as True European Convection and Microwave Inverter technology. The oven will be available this fall.

Instant Heat The new Instant Hot SIP™ faucets and Instant Hot tank from Moen are a stylish, efficient way to draw boiling water instantly from the sink, streamlining everything from meal prep to cleanup. You can set the water anywhere from 140 to 190 degrees. For safety, the spout is insulated and the faucet has a two-step activation (turning the knob handle forward while pushing a button) to prevent hot water from flowing accidentally. Once activated, the faucet stays in the on position for hands-free dispensing until turned off.

Updated Tradition Luxury bathroom manufacturer Drummonds introduces monoblock faucets for the first time in its 30-year history. Monoblock faucets combine hot and cold water into a single stem and, thanks to ceramic disk technology, can be designed with a single handle to control the mix of water. “Customers have been requesting monoblocks with traditional styling for a long time, and we are proud to have finally found a solution that retains the signature proportions and intricate detailing of traditional pillar taps in this popular format,” says creative director James Lentaigne. The faucets are available in the company’s Coll and Mull collections, which are based on Victorian designs. Available in nine finishes and with English china, solid metal or burnished walnut lever (shown is the Coll faucet in chrome with dark walnut lever).
