Most Popular Posts of 2022

December 8, 2022 by EuroChef

Another year has come and gone, which means it’s time to reflect on our most popular posts from 2022. We love taking the time to review the designs that grace our Instagram to reflect on this year’s trends and think about what new ideas we believe will emerge as we head into the next year.

Do you see yourself designing a kitchen like the ones below for yourself or a client? Below are our most admired kitchens of 2022 to provide inspiration for your next project.

It’s Not all White Anymore

A post shared by Verona Appliances (@veronaappliances)

Remember when all-white kitchens were the most desirable? They aren’t anymore!

The latest trending kitchens do feature white as the main color, but instead of everything in one shade, there are multiple shades of white spread throughout the space. This kitchen features bright white cabinetry with a range hood surround in off-white. That same off-white hue makes its way into the shiny, rectangular zellige backsplash and countertops. This kitchen is finished off with wooden accents of varying finishes and grains. It’s still the all-white look, but updated for a warmer atmosphere in the home.

Thank you to Home by Julianne for tagging us and spotlighting your 36” Dual Fuel Range!

This kitchen also takes the top spot for one of the most popular on our Instagram. Similar to Home by Julianne, @kalakleindesigns used white zellige-like Scandinavian tile, white cabinetry and off-white countertops. She paired it with a wooden-framed range hood surround and wooden décor dotting the walls and windowsill.

This kitchen features our 36” Electric Double Oven Range.

New Uses for Traditional Cookware

This lovely Dutch oven isn’t just used for cooking – turn it into a makeshift flower pot to display directly on your range! Laura Reister used her Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Heart Cocotte for Valentine’s Day flowers. You may want to try this hack if you have little no counterspace, but still would like to display seasonal blooms. It’s perfect for apartments or kitchens without islands.

This kitchen features our 36” Prestige Dual Fuel Double Oven Range.

Pops of Color in Unexpected Places

Susan Serra also features a red Le Creuset Dutch oven in her kitchen, which perfectly matches the red runner and Burgundy knobs. So many ranges on the market only offer knobs in Chrome, but our Designer Series ranges allow you to choose two colors of knobs –– Black and Burgundy.

This kitchen features our 36” Designer Series Induction Range in Matte Black with Burgundy knobs. The range is reminiscent of the iconic Christian Louboutin black pump with red soles ––daring in black with a surprising pop of color in the most unexpected places.

Celebrating National Pasta Month

October 27, 2022 by EuroChef

With hundreds of varieties, shapes and sizes, pasta has found its way into almost every culture and home around the world. A staple comfort food with endless recipes, this delectable delicacy is versatile and accessible making it a household favorite. In celebration of National Pasta Month, we’ve put together some helpful tips on how to take your pasta-making game to the next level:

Build from Scratch

Making pasta from scratch can seem like an intimidating process, but with a little practice, you may just find the time and effort required to preparing this family favorite is not only fun, but well worth it. Delicious and rich in flavor, fresh pasta only requires a handful of basic ingredients and is fun to make with family and friends in the kitchen—plus, it cooks quicker than store bought, with an average al dente time 6 mins faster!

Add a Pot Filler to Your Kitchen

Tired of carrying heavy pots full of water from the sink to the stove? Consider adding a pot filler above your range to reduce trips back and forth allowing you to get your pasta water boiling even faster, all while keeping your sink and countertop areas open and free for food preparation.

Opt for Induction: Precision Cooking

With their precise temperature control and energy efficiency, induction stoves and cooktops are quickly making their way into more American homes as a reliable and safe form of cooking. Ranges like Verona’s 36” Designer Series Induction offer homeowners versatility and precise temperature control over their cooking with additional power levels like “Gentle Heat”— a lower, three-level heat setting which provides continuous gentle heat, ideal for creating more delicate pasta dishes, such as Carbonara and Bolognese, where sauces are prone to breaking if exposed to too much heat.

Opt for Induction: Rapid Heating

They say “a watched pot never boils,” but we think otherwise. Quickly boil large pots of water with Verona’s 36” Designer Series Induction “PowerBoost” function—a precise heat setting that operates at the maximum power level for up to 10 mins, allowing your pasta water to boil faster than ever. And, for those times when you need to bring sauces up to a boil then reduce to a simmer, the “Fast Heating” function is a quick and efficient setting that allows you to rapidly heat up food or liquid then automatically reduce the temperature to a pre-selected heat setting.

Finish Your pasta in a Saucier

When creating a pasta sauce, a higher-walled saucier allows you room to work with your ingredients, giving you more flexibility than a regular sauce pan. With the wide base and high walls, you can build your sauce and add pasta directly to the saucier yielding a more flavorful pasta as it absorbs some of the sauce while cooking.

Why Choose Electric Cooking?

June 1, 2022 by EuroChef

Verona Appliances Stays Ahead of the Curve with Stylish Single and Double Oven Electric Ranges

36″ Designer Electric Range in Matte Black

Electric ranges and cooktops are increasing in popularity among homeowners and designers. Why? According to a growing body of research, gas appliances, which long reigned as the supreme cooking method and hailed by professional and home chefs alike, are proving to be harmful to the environment – and us.

Research shows that living with a gas appliance has led to increased risks of asthma and other illnesses – especially in children – due to harmful air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide and methane. And it’s not only while the appliance is boiling a pot of water for a pasta dinner. In fact, more than three-quarters of emissions occur while the appliance is not in use.

In addition, those same pollutants are harmful to the environment. Yearly emissions from U.S. gas cooktops are equivalent to the emissions transmitted from half a million cars. Overall, homes and buildings are directly responsible for about 13 percent of the country’s annual greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from the natural gas burned by furnaces, water heaters, clothes dryers, and gas-powered stoves and ovens.

Gas appliances may become a thing of the past. Some cities are banning new gas hookups for appliances to reduce air pollution and emissions to help in fighting climate change. “Electric cooking will become more of a player in the market as cities and states across the country start to eliminate the possibility of gas appliance installations,” states Melissa Haber, Vice President of EuroChef USA, the exclusive importer of the Verona brand.

A ban on gas appliances has already happened in New York City, where new buildings under seven stories cannot have gas hookups starting in 2023. The ban on taller buildings will go into effect in 2027. In fact, the State of New York is considering a version of this ban in 2027, as well. The San Francisco Bay Area has already had a similar ban in place for the past year.  

“We noticed our electric appliances have been increasing in sales,” says Haber. To keep up with changing market demand, Verona released a stylish electric range model with single and double oven options to suit varying tastes. “Our new Prestige 36-inch electric ranges offer the highly sought-after pro look without compromising on performance,” says Haber. “There are very few electric options in the market that are both feature- and style-rich at this price point, so we’re sure our new collection will spark a lot of interest.”

Electric appliances are safe, easy to clean and will make any kitchen renovation easier ­– which is a welcome relief considering supply chain issues and labor shortages are still impacting the kitchen and bath industry today.

Easy to Clean

For Anastasia Casey of the Identité Collective, who’s used to cooking with gas, an electric cooktop was a learning curve. However, her opinion on this cooking method was transformed.  “For starters, it’s shockingly easy to keep clean,” she says, as the cooktop surface is entirely flat. “Without all the metal grates to fuss over, I can just let it cool and wipe up any spills or splatters.”

Appliance owners can effortlessly clean an electric cooktop with a damp dish rag and soap. For caked on messes, a little warm vinegar can go a long way.                             

Safe

While an electric appliance doesn’t completely eliminate the risk of burns or fires, it does lower the risk because there’s no open flame. For extra safety features, the appliance often comes with “power on” lights and residual heat warnings to inform appliance owners when the surface is still hot to the touch.

Induction is also a form of electric cooking that is often purchased with safety in mind. With the Verona Designer Induction Range’s electric magnetic coils, the surface does not retain or give off heat since only the pot is directly heated.

Less Fuss with Renovating

Home renovations have increased dramatically in the past few years, and it’s a shift that will continue to increase in the years to come. But with supply chain issues and labor shortages still impacting the industry, renovating any room in the home, such as a kitchen, can be a headache for all parties involved.

If a homeowner doesn’t have a gas line already set up, installing a hookup can be a costly and time-consuming process filled with inspections and installation appointments. But with an electric appliance, the installation process is easier and less expensive. “Once things were in place, we simply plugged things in and put them straight to use—electric appliances for the win,” says Anastasia Casey.

Solutions for Gas Cooking

Not everyone is able to, or has the means, to replace their gas appliances with electric. So, what to do if the switch can’t be made? Invest in a range hood, which can cut the appliance’s air pollution in about half. Range hoods are critical components for every kitchen, as they work to pull the air into filters or a duct to remove odors, grease, moisture, smoke, and harmful particles (such as greenhouse gasses) during cooking.

Going electric is the way of the future. Choosing an electric appliance will not only help the environment, but will improve air quality in the home and make life easier and safer.

About Verona: Verona Appliances’ stylish line of ranges, ovens, cooktops, ventilation, dishwashers and refrigeration have been featured in upscale kitchens around the world since 1958. Designed and manufactured in the suburbs of Venice, Italy, each Verona cooking appliance is held to the highest standards of quality and is made to U.S. market specifications. Verona’s new 36” electric double oven ranges are an industry exclusive, with an upgraded look that is only surpassed by its high-powered capabilities. EuroChef USA is proud to present the Verona line of appliances through an authorized network of U.S. distributors and retailers, suitable for any sized kitchen.

Spring Kitchen Décor Ideas

April 22, 2022 by EuroChef

The days are getting longer and the weather is slowly, but surely, getting warmer. The world is coming alive with greenery, bright colors and floral prints in fashion and interior design to signify the arrival of spring. For décor lovers, a new season means it’s time to give your living space a refresh. Not quite sure where to begin? We recommend starting with the heart of the home, your kitchen! Read on as we share our favorite seasonal style tips for decorating your kitchen for spring.

Budding Blooms

Spring is a time of rebirth and a fresh start for flora and fauna. Flowers are starting to pop out of the ground, the grass is becoming greener and trees are beginning to bud. If you love nature and find solace in having the outdoors in your home, mirror what you see outside into your kitchen.

Budding branches can make an excellent addition to your spring kitchen décor. Find a few in your backyard if you’re looking to be cost-savvy, or purchase a few pieces at your local craft store to display year after year. Hemingway Interiors upcycled an old vase with spackle to create a rustic, artisan look with budding greenery on her kitchen island.

Sensational Seasonal Scents

In addition to decorating your kitchen with flora and fauna, you can also use scented candles as a centerpiece on your kitchen island. Keep the scent light and airy with notes of eucalyptus, jasmine, citrus or rose. Make it even more of a centerpiece by placing the candle on a decorative wooden cutting board or in a large shallow bowl, and add accessories like a wick cutter and a snifter.

If you’re more conscious about open flames, a decorative wax warmer will work just as well.

Showstopping Centerpiece

No vase? No problem! Laura Reister got creative with her range décor and used her heart-shaped dutch oven as a pot for fresh tulips. The pink and red hues pop brightly against her white backsplash and countertops. This décor trick will certainly catch guests in your home by surprise – and might inspire them to do the same!

To get this look, we recommend the 36″ Prestige Dual Fuel Double Oven Range.

Floral Fabrics

Hanging a dish towel over your range handle can make clean-up in the kitchen a breeze. It’s also such an easy way to add seasonality to the space! Susan Serra, CKD, matched her matte black range with a bold black and blue floral pattern. At the end of every season, stock up on dish towels in the clearance section to truly maximize your savings so you’re prepared for next year!

2021 Kitchen Trend Roundup: What You’re Saving & Sharing

December 8, 2021 by EuroChef

The last month of the year brings about holiday cheer as family gathers from far and near. With 2021 coming to an end, we’re taking the time to reflect on some of our favorite kitchen designs of the past year that incorporate Verona Appliances. You may even find some design inspiration to bring into your own home! Below are our most saved and shared kitchens of the year, according to our Instagram.

Neutral & Ornate Palette

A post shared by Verona Appliances (@veronaappliances)

Built in 1905, the “Monster House” is a quaint Californian bungalow nestled in sunny Los Angeles. The kitchen was brought back to life with the help of a range similar to the current  Stainless Steel Prestige Dual Fuel Range and an open indoor-outdoor living concept. The space is decorated in warm neutrals of copper and wood, and is finished off with an ornate chandelier inspired by the outdoors.

Thank you to Avi Ross Group in Long Beach, California for tagging us!

Open Shelving for Décor… and Speed

A post shared by Verona Appliances (@veronaappliances)

In addition to warm neutrals, open shelving is also quite popular on Instagram. This concept lets well-used pots, pans and serving ware be displayed as part of the décor and within easy reach. Think about the seconds you’d save by no longer rummaging through a cabinet! This kitchen features a range similar to our 36” Prestige Gas Range in White.

Thank you to The Ranch Uncommon from Newbury Park, California for working with us!

Custom Cabinetry for Storage

A post shared by Verona Appliances (@veronaappliances)

It seems like there’s never enough storage in the kitchen. AHA! Interiors from Richmond Hill, New York installed a custom pull-out shelf to use every nook and cranny available. The owners now stash spices, oils and infrequently used cookware next to their 30” Gas Range. They even used a two-tiered lazy Susan to squeeze in more spices in the cabinetry.

Task Lighting

Task lighting can do wonders. It can provide additional lighting to help you keep an eye out for the perfect golden sear on a chicken thigh. Or, it can help ease tension on the eyes as you’re cleaning up late at night while the rest of the room is dim. This kitchen features our 36” Double Oven Range and Chefs Pak.

Thank you to @luvee68 for tagging us!

Matte Black Accents

White kitchens have been reigning supreme, but Andrea West Design of Burlingame, California adds touches of sophisticated color to this kitchen. Mixed metals, finishes and glassware displayed on the open shelving unit provide interest, while our 36″ N-Series Electric Range in Matte Black adds drama.

Verona’s Guide to Kitchen Ventilation Systems

October 26, 2021 by EuroChef

Ventilation solutions are critical components for every kitchen and choosing the right one is an important step in the kitchen renovation process. Kitchen ventilation fans work to pull the air around you into filters or a duct to remove odors, grease, moisture, smoke, and harmful particles from the kitchen as you cook. Determining the right ventilation system for your kitchen can be complex, as it is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

You will want to consider what options are available, your style preferences, as well as the structure of your home, your local township regulations and more. We recommend you consult with an appliance professional about which hood is best for you, but for now, we will provide you with a guide of talking points so you can be prepared for an informed conversation.

Know What Types of Ventilation Options are Available

Verona range hoods are designed and engineered with great attention to detail and use only the best quality components available. Featuring powerful multi-speed fans, LED lighting and pro-style upgrades, every Verona hood pairs perfectly with Verona cooking products in an array of sizes and colors for the ultimate choice in performance and design. We have three ventilation options available.

  • Verona Chimney Hoods: A chimney hood is often installed on the wall and eliminates the need for a cabinet over the range or cooktop. The design of this hood often serves as a focal point in the kitchen and can complement the range.
  • Verona Low Profile Range Hoods: A low-profile range hood is mounted directly onto the bottom of a kitchen cabinet and centered above the range or cooktop.
  • Verona Range Hood Inserts: A hood insert is installed directly into a hole cut either in the ceiling or a custom surround. The hoods’ motor box is hidden for a seamless, straight-line design. It’s the perfect hood for appliances installed on an island, peninsula or in a nook.

Determine What Suits Your Style…

Now that you have a general idea of what hoods are available from Verona, you’ll want to think about your overall kitchen vision and which hood will best match your style.

  • The Focal Point: The Verona Chimney Hood offers a lean, straight-line design with rounded edges for a pro-style look. This style hood can easily be the star of any kitchen. In addition, the chef-inspired design will make you feel like you’re cooking in a professional kitchen at home!

  • The Traditionalist: The Verona Low Profile Range Hood installs under an upper cabinet. It’s best for when you would like the hood to be part of the kitchen design, but not the focal point. The low-profile hood is both functional and economical in its design, as it allows to for valuable upper storage in kitchens that are tight on space.

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: The Verona Hood Insert has a clean, slim design with commercial-style performance. This hood is often hidden or integrated into a custom surround designed to match the kitchen cabinetry or as a bold design element.

… and Meets Your Needs

Although you may have a particular style hood in mind, you will also need to consider what will meet the needs of your cooking style and your home. Here are a few questions that should be addressed when choosing ventilation.

  • How many CFMs will you need? CFM stands for cubic feet per minute. This tells you how fast the range hood can move air. The higher the CFM, the faster the air can be moved out of the space. How many CFMs you will need depends on a multitude of factors, including the size and layout of your kitchen. Is it open concept or a micro-sized space? Are there windows? How high are the ceilings? All of these components will be a factor in the CFM power needed. Also consider the width of your cooking appliance and the burner power and fuel type – the larger and more powerful your appliance is, the more CFM’s you will need. Verona’s ventilation options deliver powerful performance from 600 CFMs for smaller cooktops and up to 1,200 CFMs for larger cooktops.
  • How will the air be vented in your home? There are two main types of venting methods: external and recirculating. External venting will push air outside to the roof or the side of the home using vents and ducts. The recirculating method, common in condos or apartments, does not require outside ventilation. Instead, air is filtered through the hood first before being released back into the room.
  • How do you currently cook at home? Think about the type of cooking you do most often. Some range hoods have filters specifically for capturing grease, which can be helpful if you frequently cook with oil. You will also want to think about personal preferences, like if you would prefer extra lighting, want variable fan speeds or a vent that can be controlled by a remote or will automatically adjust fan speed depending on the heat and smoke in the room. Discussing your preferences and cooking habits can help your representative guide you to ventilation that will best suit your needs.

We hope these pointers allow you to feel more confident in your ventilation selection and will help guide you as you work through your kitchen renovation.

Verona Appliances Celebrates 20 Years in the U.S.

March 23, 2021 by EuroChef

Since 1958 our family-owned, Italian-made line of ranges, ovens and cooktops has been a preferred appliance brand featured in upscale kitchens throughout Europe. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Verona in the U.S. market.

From 2001 to today, our brand offers a wide range of cooking appliances suitable for any size kitchen on both sides of the Atlantic. To honor this milestone, we want to take you on a journey through the evolution of our product line innovations – highlighting what makes Verona the chef-inspired appliance maker for those who want the look and functionality of a professional appliance for their home.

2001

The one that started it all… Verona’s 12” gas cooktop, which featured one large and one small sealed burner with electronic ignition launched in our debut year. Finish offerings included Black, White, Bisque and Stainless Steel. The compact 12” model was part of a full cooktop collection that was available in up to a 36” size.

2002

We introduced a full collection of freestanding ranges, including our popular Verona Professional 36” and 48” dual fuel and 24” gas ranges. The pro-restaurant-inspired look and functional features set the stage for Verona as a true cooking appliance that is attainable for at-home chefs.

2005

Verona built-in ovens were launched in 2005 and included the ever-popular 24” gas model, which remains a Verona exclusive today. The individual ovens could be installed as one unit or used with a stacking kit to create a seamless, stunning stainless-steel double oven display.

2010

In 2010 we introduced the exclusive 36” double oven ranges, available in both dual fuel or all gas models. These ovens are a true multitasker, as they allow home chefs to bake dinner and dessert at the same time.

2011

Verona debuted a variety of color options for the range collection. In addition to stainless steel, we added matte black, burgundy, antique white and white to our color palette.

2012

This was a big year for Verona Appliances with the launch of a standard American-sized 30” Pro Style Deluxe Range. The new Collection was engineered specifically for the US market and was packed with professional quality features such as a convection gas oven, four burner cooktop, a digital clock and timer, heavy-duty cast iron grates and more.

Also launched in this year was the VeronaPro line, which included upgraded 36” and 30” ranges, a 30” gas wall oven and 36” gas cooktop, all with powerful brass German-made burners and many aesthetic upgrades.

2015

In 2015, Verona debuted the 36” Classic range that combined the very best of industrial design and cooking performance. The range was a recipient of Design Journal Magazine’s Best of 2015 Products award. With the launch of the trend-setting Classic look, the Verona logo also received an update transforming into today’s iconic square design.

Also introduced in this year was the 36” fully-electric N’ Series Range, which still stands as an iconic model for the Verona brand. At the time of its release, the N’ Series Range was the only fully electric range on the market.

2016

The Chefs Pak was released in 2016 to the delight of many home cooks. The accessory package included a heavy-duty stainless-steel griddle, 3” x 5” beveled spatula, digital meat probe and more.

2017

In 2017 we launched Verona’s exclusive 36” All-Electric Ranges. The range won a Good Design Award in the same year, and the collection of All-Electric Ranges was an Interior Design Best of Year Honoree.

2018

The Designer and Prestige series was added to our extensive line of 36” freestanding ranges in 2018. The ranges featured both performance and aesthetic upgrades such as brass burners, rounded handles, continuous cast iron grates, a modern knob design and clean, beveled doors.

2019

Verona added two new colors and colored knobs to our line for the Designer series, plus an online Designer Range Builder Tool that allows interior designers and homeowners to customize their very own Designer Series range. The “Designer Range Builder” provides users the option to preview any combination of fuel type, knob color and base color for their personalized appliance.

2020

Verona added non-cooking appliances to their line to offer a complete kitchen suite including new refrigerator and dishwasher for the first time. In addition to this exciting development, Verona also expanded its popular Designer series with Dual Fuel and Induction 36” ranges and ventilation options for wall-mounted, chimney hoods and built-in inserts.

  • The Designer series Dual Fuel and Induction 36” ranges, where consumers can create their ideal range in up to six colors, three knob designs and four fuel options;
  • The Designer Ventilation Hood with three style options, including a wall-mounted chimney hood, streamlined low profile hood and built-in hood insert;
  • And the Verona Kitchen Suite, where consumers can choose from a wide selection of powerful ventilation and cooking products, Energy Star-rated 36” counter-depth French Door Refrigerator, and 24” stainless-steel dishwasher.

2021

Design by: Blythe & Barnett | Photography by: Jessica Kettle Photography

In our 20th year in the U.S., we celebrated with updated built-in collections, including the Designer Series 30” Gas Built-in Wall Oven, which has superior design upgrades including a soft-close door, commercial-style closed-door broiler, convection bake options and more. We’ve also debuted the Designer Cooktop Collection with beautifully designed continuous cast-iron grates, high-power triple-ring brass burners and soft-touch rubberized round knobs.

Innovation and Design: Verona Appliance’s Guide to 2021 Appliance Trends

February 18, 2021 by EuroChef

Kitchens have never worked harder!

It’s no longer­ enough that ovens roast, refrigerators keep food cold and dishwashers clean. As the daily function of the kitchen evolves, from a space for culinary creation and dining to virtual classrooms, home offices and so much more, there is a greater need for high-performing household appliances.

Read on as we delve into the latest trends in kitchen appliance design and features, and learn why you should equip your home with powerful and multi-functional kitchen gadgets.

Efficient and Quiet Ventilation

In a time where health and hygiene are at the forefront of everyone’s mind, proper ventilation is an important consideration to enhance wellness in a kitchen. And, now that kitchens have become a multi-purpose room, it is imperative that range hoods are seen more than they are heard. Verona Appliances offers distinct ventilation hoods, including the new Designer Series, that features powerful, yet quiet blowers with four fan speeds to provide hushed filtration when the kitchen is in use for both work and play.

 

Dual-Fuel Cooking

Homeowners are faced with tough decisions when purchasing a new range, like the choice of gas or electric connections. Or, thanks to advancements in appliance technology, there is now the opportunity to have the best of both options. Dual-Fuel ranges like this Verona Appliances 36” Designer Series feature a gas cooktop and an electric oven. This allows home chefs to cook with the multi-function control of electricity in the oven and the power and precision of gas burners on the cooktop.

 

Multi-Functional Enhancements

As kitchens grow into their new role as a catchall room that the entire family can use, there is a greater need for multiple meal prep and cooking stations. Combining cooktops with built-in ovens, or stacking wall ovens next to a range are a great way to increase cooking capacity in a home. The new 30” Designer Series Gas Wall Ovens from Verona Appliances offer powerful features and perfectly pair with Verona’s line of cooktops or ranges to efficiently multi-task during mealtime.

 

Cooking with Flexibility

For kitchens low on space, double-oven ranges like Verona Appliances exclusive Prestige Series option are the perfect option to incorporate extra cooking flexibility. With two ovens, you can simultaneously prepare multiple meals that require different temperatures, modes, and ingredients all in one 36” wide range.

Verona also offers a collection of accessories perfect for the home chef keen on incorporating additional cooking flexibility in the kitchen. From the simmer plate and wok ring to the Chefs Pak accessory kit, there is an option for every level of cooking and offers adaptability to any cooking appliance.

 

Pops of Color

Say “so long” to standard stainless steel appliances. Homeowners and designers alike are opting for vibrant-hued appliances to incorporate their personal design style and infuse their kitchen with extra flavor.

Verona Appliances takes customization a few steps further with the Designer Range Builder Tool. This innovative utility invites users to build their own appliance by selecting from a series of options including fuel type, body-color, and knob color to craft their own bespoke appliance.

 

Cohesion in the Kitchen

Verona Appliances Helps Bring the Transitional Style of Cape Cod Homes to the Heart of Indianapolis

March 17, 2020 by EuroChef

Kitchens are one of the most considered rooms of the house when it comes to interior design and thoughtful space planning. They are where most begin and end their day, provide a place for gathering and entertaining and are where families can connect after a long hectic day. When Principal Designer, Abbey Robertson, of aaNovo, and her team were tasked with designing a new custom spec build in Indianapolis, Indiana, the result in the kitchen was breathtaking. With a passion for building, selecting quality products and implementing design methods that will stand the test of time, Robertson turned to Verona Appliances to help make this new house a home for future owners to enjoy for years to come.

With the objective of presenting a timeless and functional kitchen, Robertson based her design inspiration on the transitional style of Cape Cod homes. “Our goal was to nod to traditional details in our design through our choice of the interior architecture while remaining mostly transitional in our design elements,” said Robertson. “We choose the 36” Prestige Series Gas Range for this project because it checked all those boxes. We appreciate the design aesthetic of the range and quality of the product.”

With a home design project, homeowners tend to feel stuck with a specific style or time period. Rather than staying glued to one particular style, the team at aaNovo allows each project and space to define their design. In this kitchen, Robertson opted for contemporary countertops and backsplash as well as a traditional range hood cover to create a unique focal point around the Verona range.

Although the completed design is nothing short of stunning, Robertson faced some difficulties along the way.  “We designed the range hood with corbels to bring in some traditional curves to the space however this inclusion was our biggest challenge during the design process. We had to find materials for the hood that were heat resistant and could be molded or cut to the right shape,” said Robertson. “We solved this challenge by adding the shelf above the range which split the backsplash into two pieces rather than one large piece. This way it didn’t take away from the coffee bar slab and allowed us to utilize all the pieces of the quartz without seams on the countertops.”

In the design world of consistently changing trends, classically designed interiors are a breath of fresh air. As custom spec builders, Abbey Robertson and her team at aaNovo strive to carefully select the design elements in their homes that will strongly represent their quality of design and meet the desires and needs of future homebuyers.  They certainly achieved their goal by bringing the warm and transitional style of Cape Cod into the heart of Indianapolis!

Thank you, Abbey Robertson and aaNovo for choosing Verona Appliances for your kitchen and sharing your project with us! For more design inspiration from aaNovo click here or follow them on Instagram and Facebook.

Cooking with a Double Oven Range

February 19, 2020 by EuroChef

If you’re a serious home chef or constantly cooking for a large group, then you know it’s necessary to outfit your kitchen with appliances and design features that are flexible and allow for the most utility. Where ovens are concerned, there are a myriad of options and the best choice might not be a single oven.

Double-oven ranges, as the name implies, are equipped with two ovens and could be the perfect upgrade your kitchen has been craving.

If you’re in the market for a new stove or are considering purchasing a double-oven range, read on as Verona Appliances explores what makes these appliances an extremely valuable tool in the kitchen.

Saves Time by Preparing Multiple Meals Simultaneously

With two ovens, you can prepare multiple meals that require different temperatures or modes simultaneously. This option allows you to save on time when cooking for your family or a group of guests and ensures all of your main dishes are served all at once.

Culinary Customization

In addition to saving time, double ovens allow for culinary customization when cooking multiple dishes at the same time. You can cook meals exactly how you want them in whatever mode you want – broil, roast, steam or bake without the hassle of over and undercooking, or crossing flavors between certain dishes.

Cook Main and Side Dishes at the Same Time

Whether you cook for a large family, love to entertain, plan to host the next holiday dinner, or enjoy cooking gourmet meals – a double oven like the Verona Appliances Double Oven Prestige Gas Range gives you the extra space you need to produce the quantity and quality of food you want. The larger oven is great for cooking main dishes like the Thanksgiving turkey, while the smaller oven and stovetop perfectly prepare the side dishes.

Saves Energy When Cooking Small Meals

Double oven ranges offer the potential for energy savings when cooking everyday meals. The smaller oven utilizes less energy than a larger single oven with a quicker pre-heat and while keeping the temperature inside the cavity consistent.
