Appliances form the functional heart of the kitchen. Browse through these tempting options from the 2006 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show.

1.French-Door Ovens

Conventional drop-down oven doors can be awkward to reach over and walk around. Jade Appliances provides an alternative adapted from restaurant equipment: French-door styling that requires minimal aisle space to open fully, an innovation awarded best new product honors at the K/BIS New Product Pavilion. The self-cleaning ovens also feature professional-grade stainless steel, convection bake and broil capabilities, electronic controls, and premium roller racks.



2.French-Door Fridge

Elmira Stove Works brings today\'s appliance trends to vintage -- or vintage-style -- kitchens. The 1898 French-door refrigerator combines twin doors like a side-by-side model with a bottom freezer drawer. The favorite of eight colors, nickel-trimmed black evokes antique cook stoves. For modern convenience, this old/new fridge boasts a filtered water dispenser, oversize door bins, slide-out shelves, and a 25-cubic-foot capacity.




3.Tall-Tub Dishwasher

Big families and frequent entertainers need large-capacity dishwashers such as new built-ins from GE Monogram, whose extra-tall tub and towerless rack hold 16 place settings. High-intensity xenon lights illuminate the stainless-steel interior. Other features include a hard-food disposer, six wash levels, and three wash arms. To disguise the appliance, electronic controls go inside the door\'s top edge and its front accepts cabinet-matching panels. Energy Star-rated models cost $1,200-$1,350.




4.Double Wall Ovens

Stainless steel has become so popular, fashion-forward Jenn-Air saw a need for something new. Their Oiled Bronze appliance suite addresses growing interest in earth tones and warm neutrals yet complements existing stainless-steel or black appliances. Look for the new finish on refrigerators, dishwashers, wall ovens, cooktops, and range hoods starting in mid to late 2006.




5.Convertible Refrigerator

Samsung Electronics introduces the 25-cubic-foot Four-Door Convertible Refrigerator (about $3,000), a boon for changing storage needs. In addition to standard refrigerator and freezer temperatures, you can adjust drawer sections up to chill wine or down to quick-freeze vegetables. Allocate refrigerator and freezer space to prepare for a party or store leftovers after it. Separate evaporators maintain the ideal humidity in each section.




6.Food Processor Plus

Instead of cluttering countertops with a separate blender, stand mixer, food mixer, and slicer, enlist a Bosch Kitchen Machine as your ultimate kitchen helper. German engineering and a gutsy 700-watt motor make quick work of any food prep. The brushed stainless steel 7 Series ($900) is sold built-in or freestanding, where its base easily stores in a drawer just 5 inches deep.




7.Drawer Dishwasher

KitchenAid has been making dishwashers since 1949, and its first single drawer dishwasher ($780-$880) lives up to the brand. With a drawer model, you can use one alone for small loads or install a pair flanking the sink but just under the counter to save bending. Each drawer\'s adjustable racks and baskets accommodate five place settings. Five wash cycles tackle any load.




8.Traditional Range

Handcrafted in France for decades, La Cornue ranges are now available smaller and mass-produced. Equipped with a high-performance five-burner (6,000 to 17,000 Btus) gas cooktop and double convection ovens, the CornuFé retains its ancestors\' gleaming enamel finish and solid-metal knobs. The 43-inch-wide range comes in stainless steel and four colors, including Provence Blue (shown).




9.Modular Refrigeration

Can\'t find the right size and configuration you want? Gaggenau\'s mix-and-match concept may be the answer. Modular refrigerator and freezer columns go where each chef or room layout requires. Full-length halogen light pillars brighten the stainless-steel, aluminum, and glass interiors. Each column has its own evaporator and compressor, which prevents odor transfer as it allows custom temperature and humidity control.




10.Countertop Steam Oven

Sharp Electronics makes it easier to cook food that\'s better for you -- and tastes better, too. In stainless steel or jazzy red (shown, about $1,400), the Superheated Steam Oven combines conventional heat with steam at 550 degrees Fahrenheit to reduce fat and seal in natural juices, flavor, and nutrients. The oven needs no plumbing; just fill its reservoir with tap water.




11.Refrigerator Drawers

Italian manufacturer Ariston offers its take on the popular drawer-style refrigerator category with this 36-inch-wide double-drawer model (about $3,000). Each fully extending drawer has 6.7 cubic feet of storage with compartments you can customize as needed. See-through plastic bins and covered stainless-steel bins go from drawer to counter to dishwasher. The top drawer also contains a three-bottle wine holder.




12.Built-In Coffee Station

Why go out for a custom brew when Thermador\'s Savor coffee machine (available this summer) makes all your favorites? The 24-inch-wide machine features six levels of grind quality, then automatically makes coffee and espresso in 12 sizes. Its height-adjustable dispenser has two spouts, and its brushed stainless-steel finish coordinates with pro style appliances.




13.Outdoor Kitchen Grill

If you\'re planning an outdoor kitchen, you\'ll probably start with the grill. New from Viking Range, the 24-inch-wide TruSear grill generates up to 21,500 Btus like larger models, but you can install it independently to save space or add another grilling station. The gas infrared unit cooks everything from thick steaks and chops to seafood and vegetables
