How to outfit your entire kitchen in Rs 1 lakh

Whether we like to cook or hate it, enjoy good food or merely see it as a source of nourishment, we all need to eat. And while it’s become terribly convenient to order in, every once in a while, even the serial takeout champion must cook.

But the kitchen isn’t just a place where meals are prepared; it’s also where memories are made. Think about it, your happiest childhood memories most likely involve a large kitchen, a warm stove, and a simmering pot.

Today, the large kitchens may be a luxury for most, but that shouldn’t stop you from creating new memories, should it? And it certainly shouldn’t require you to break the bank. As it turns out, you only need to pull out that family recipe book you’d stashed away… and these kitchen appliances.

Choosing the right kitchen appliances to outfit your kitchen in Rs 1 lakh

A well-appointed kitchen isn’t just a pleasure to see but an inspiration to cook and easy to maintain. And the best refrigerators, microwaves, cooktops, and water purifiers aren’t always ones that cost you an arm and leg.

Here’s how you can outfit your entire kitchen in Rs 1 lakh.

1. Croma 563L Frost Free Side by Side Refrigerator

Every home has a refrigerator, and this one from Croma comes equipped with an inverter compressor that helps it consume less power. It also has a built-in Stabiliser-free Operation, so you don’t need to invest in a separate stabiliser for your refrigerator.

What it also does, is offer a minimalist, modern aesthetic, and ample storage. More importantly, it serves as a canvas for your magnets from around the world, that photo from a recent trip, a note to self, or a family photo.

So, what will your Croma fridge have?

2. Croma Three-Burner Gas Stove

Whether it’s your morning chai, evening Maggi, or that hearty Sunday lunch, a gas stove is your go-to kitchen appliance. The Croma three-burner manual gas stove is designed so you can fire up all three burners simultaneously and cook up a storm. But really, we know as well as you do that you already have a favourite burner and will end up using just that… like every adult on this planet.

3. Croma 23L Convection Microwave Oven

There’s a lot more you can do in a microwave than heat up water first thing in the morning or reheat your dinner order. But, used well, the microwave can be a clutch player in your kitchen’s arsenal. Whether tossing a healthy salad in minutes, grilling chicken, or baking yourself a happy cupcake, the Croma 23L microwave is always handy.

4. Croma 1000-Watt Food Processor

The Croma 1000-watt Food Processor should be your countertop staple for all the reasons you can think of and then some. Whip up a range of smoothies, sauces, and soups, knead your chappati aata, or chop those veggies with this food processor designed for aspiring pro chefs as well as reluctant home cooks.

5. Croma 750W 2 Slice Pop-Up Toaster

Every once in a while, when the rice is burnt and the chicken undercooked, the only thing left to try out is that loaf of bread you’d forgotten at the back of your fridge. Pop in a slice or two in the Croma toaster, slather chocolate spread or that chutney, and you’re good to go. But the toaster needn’t just be used #incaseofemergency. It’s your breakfast companion and a handy appliance to make those sandwiches and chilli cheese toast.

6. Croma Evolet Water Purifier

The importance of having a water purifier cannot be overstated. Even as it is life-giving, water can be hazardous when impure. As pollution keeps rising, it is becoming difficult to ascertain just how impure the water that comes into our homes is.

Today, a water purifier is a necessity. The Croma Evolet Water Purifier doesn’t just protect you from hazardous chemicals, bacteria, metal pollution, and germs in your water but also uses a filtering process to remove other harmful elements, making it safe to drink.
