7 unexpected reasons to choose a mini-stove and oven (or abandon them altogether)

As a rule, when renovating a kitchen, it is equipped with the latest technology and sometimes everything that is not there. However, over time, it may turn out that half of the things simply take up space and are not used for their intended purpose. For example, it could be a toaster, a food processor that takes up half the countertop, or (as strange as it may sound)… a stove.

But how can you live without it, you ask. Yes Easy! And many people have recently given preference to mini-stoves and small ovens, and in some cases even refuse to place them at all. We will tell you about 7 reasons why you should reconsider the dimensions of this equipment and choose more compact models.

Do you prefer to have lunch and dinner out?

A modern person is always in a hurry to get somewhere, so sometimes he simply doesn’t have enough time to cook. In the morning - run to work, in the afternoon - have a snack in the nearest cafe during your lunch break, in the evening - to relieve the feeling of hunger with something light and insignificant. And if after work you completely collapse from fatigue, then what kind of dinners and gourmet dishes are there?!

This is the first reason why people prefer small stove options - they simply don’t have time to cook. And sometimes I’m downright lazy.In this case, the space on the countertop will most likely be taken up by a multicooker, but not by a four-burner stove.

Large groups rarely gather in your home

Of course, you don’t have to cook every day, but what if relatives or friends often visit you on weekends, because you can’t do without an oven and freshly baked pies. It turns out that it is quite possible to limit yourself to a mini-stove, and even abandon the oven if you do not have such traditions.

Well, don’t forget that there are now a lot of pastry shops where pies are prepared just as well as homemade ones.

Work surface too small

A narrow tabletop is simply a mega-stimulus to reconsider outdated solutions and optimize space. Agree, when a 4-burner stove takes up the entire surface, you don’t even want to cook anything - you just get nervous, trying to fit into a small square of free space.

In this case, the best option is a stove with two, or even one burner. And it is better to use the extra centimeters of surface for the working area.

Few storage shelves

If you run out of storage space, you can “free” the kitchen from unnecessary appliances or, as an option, reconsider the need for an oven. Instead, you can equip spacious shelves and conveniently arrange kitchen utensils.

You have certain taste habits

For example, you are a raw foodist or do not eat fried foods at all. It is logical to assume that in such cases you do not need a stove at all. You can boil water (for a certain situation) in an electric kettle or in a saucepan. And one burner is enough to cook soup.

There is an excellent alternative - another technique

Now let's think about whether a kitchen stove is so unique in its properties.After all, all the tasks that it performs can long ago be transferred to other equipment - a multicooker, bread maker, grill, sandwich maker, microwave - it is this huge selection of functional devices that calls into question the urgent need for a stove and oven. Moreover, small equipment is also more compact in terms of placement - it is smaller in size, and it can be hidden in a closet at any second.

Daily apartment rental

Well, the last reason. If you are going to make repairs in an apartment, which you then plan to rent out by the day, then you should definitely give up expensive equipment. The likelihood that people renting housing on a daily basis will urgently want to cook borscht or bake duck with apples tends to zero.

Don't want to give up the stove? Buy an inexpensive tabletop option that can easily be stored in a shelf or closet. Whoever needs it will definitely be able to get it from there.
