How to bring a commercial kitchen to your uncommercial home

Commercial-grade kitchen appliances are increasingly turning up in people's homes, but they're not always a great fit. Follow the lead of this kitchen by taking the best, leaving the rest. This is a kitchen for someone who is serious about entertaining. The commercial-grade six-burner cooktop could service a mid-sized bistro, and is more than enough to accomodate the cooking demands of even a very elaborate dinner party. Mounted above the cooktop is a pot filler, a feature that was once exclusively used in restaurant kitchens which has become increasingly popular for residential use. This particular model is retractable and can be adjusted to dispense water into a pot sitting on any of the cooktop's burners, and then be folded up safely out of the way. Under cabinet lighting and light fixtures built into the steel range hood ensure a well-lit prep and cooking areas, and the yellow tile backsplash helps mitigate one of the shortcomings of under cabinet lights, namely that whenever you work, you are casting a shadow over your work space--by reflecting light back into the work area. This kitchen also features a spacious granite-topped island with a prep sink that creates a very large work space for assistant cooks.
