4 Practical and Sleek Appliances Every Modern Kitchen Needs

The perfect match of function and aesthetics right in your kitchen.

It comes as no surprise that homeowners prioritise practicality when choosing home appliances, like functions that boost food quality and low-maintenance designs. After all, amidst our hectic schedules, every minute you can free up means more time for hobbies and spending time with loved ones.

What’s even better is when you can match these appliances to your kitchen’s interior style for a timeless look, like those in the Bosch Black Collection range. Keep reading to find out why they’re the right fit for any modern kitchen – big or small – and for exclusive deals you won’t want to miss!


1. An oven for perfectly even baking/grilling

If you bake often, you can probably relate to the satisfaction of seeing your batter emerging from the oven as a sublime and evenly-baked cake or batch of cookies.

You can enjoy just that with the sophisticated built-in Series 4 oven range in the Bosch Black Collection. These ovens have seven heating methods for various dishes, one of which is the 3D HotAir function.

This makes sure the hot air distributes and circulates evenly throughout the oven. Not only does this make for evenly baked or grilled food on up to three tiers, but it also allows you to cook sweet and savoury dishes at the same time.

When cleaning time comes ‘round, you don’t have to spend too much time on that either. The ovens are equipped with the self-cleaning EcoClean Direct Back Panel, which is a layer of microfine ceramic particles on the rear wall. This porous coating absorbs grease and residue, and breaks them down completely into carbon dioxide via oxidation.

That leaves you with just removing stains and grease from the oven floor and inner door (once it’s cooled down, of course!).


2. A fully-integrated dishwasher with an adjustable rack

Given how time-strapped we are, it’s no wonder that Singaporean homeowners are increasingly turning to dishwashers to save time (and, plot twist: even water!).

Designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of the Black Collection appliances, this dishwasher range comes with many functions to make sure your dishes get a thorough clean. For one, the DosageAssist basket helps to completely dissolve your dishwasher tablets so you can get the most out of them.

Another is the adjustable 3-Stage Rackmatic upper rack: this system lets you shift the rack up or down to three different loading heights. There’s no doubt it’ll be helpful when you’re loading your dishes and realise that there’s not enough space to fit taller items like trays and wine glasses in the upper/lower rack.

A common gripe with dishwashers is that some dishes still have to be dried by hand because they remain a little wet when unloading.

The Zeolith technology (available in selected models) has got your back: Zeolith is a natural mineral that uses the humidity from the cleaning phase and turns it into warm and dry air during the drying process – not only does this help to dry your dishes better, but it also saves energy compared to a conventional dishwasher’s drying system.

For added safety, the dishwashers come with the AquaStop smart system to protect from water leakages: when a potential leak is detected, the sensor is activated, and both the water supply and the machine are shut down in seconds.

One more thing you’ll appreciate: the dishwasher operates quietly below 45 dB.


3. A cooktop for effortless cooking and easy cleaning

Induction hob lovers, Bosch’s Black Collection features hobs with two to three cooking zones and controls for 17 power levels (9 main and 8 intermediate levels) on an electronic display.

These variable power settings let you precisely adapt the heat for different dishes and cooking styles: for instance, you can melt butter at the lowest levels, make an omelette and steam fish/vegetables at a medium level, and flash fry meat at the highest levels.

Post-meal prep, cleaning the stray food particles and grease is also a breeze thanks to the glass-ceramic base that just needs a quick wipe-down with a gentle cleaning agent.

On the other hand, you might prefer the classic gas hob for its open flame (which acts as a visual guide) and the wider array of pots/pans you can use, like ceramic pots and rounded woks. If so, you can take your pick from Bosch’s collection of gas hobs – this includes a stove with a double or triple ring burner* to provide sufficient firepower to get that distinct ‘wok hei’ flavour (yum!).

Selected gas hobs come with heavy-duty cast-iron pan supports; these are handy for safely handling heavier/bulkier cooking vessels. Performance-wise, nine defined power levels give you precise flame control while the ceramic glass base is easy to wipe down.

Here’s another thing to love: aesthetics aside, the flexible designs of these hobs allow you to combine them with other hobs for a configuration that matches your cooking needs.

*Burner types vary depending on hob model: town gas hob models feature double ring burners; LPG hob models feature triple ring burners.


4. A sleek cooker hood for effectively extracting odours and grease

As important as they are for reducing unwanted cooking residues and smells, cooker hoods usually stand out in the kitchen like a sore thumb.

Enter the Bosch Black Collection telescopic cooker hoods that ‘disappear’ into your upper cabinet for a sleek, black kitchen front; others might not even notice it’s there until you pull out the flat extraction surface.

Given their strong extraction power and 3-speed power level options for different cooking styles/recipes, your kitchen’s air quality is assured. That also means less grease on your cooktop – definitely a win for easy upkeep!

As for the filters in the cooker hood, there’s:

  1. The metal grease filter that’s dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance
  2. The activated charcoal filter that effectively removes odours and grease from the air

The charcoal filter requires replacing every six to twelve months; if you cook heavily, once every six months is ideal.
