KITCHEN CULTURE IS COOL – No ice required

Kitchen culture is a big thing in Dubai where many homes are designed with not one but two kitchens. What would you like to have built in to your dream kitchen?

The front kitchen vs the back kitchen – a Dubai lifestyle standard

A front kitchen is often beautifully styled, usually with a breakfast bar or island where people gather and simple meals might easily be put together.

So what’s a back kitchen for? It’s often in the back kitchen that most of the real cooking, preparation and cleaning up happens.

It’s a cultural and functional distinction that’s not uncommon here in Dubai with many residents regardless of where they’re from.

What my kitchen has – and what’s missing!

In my case? I only have one kitchen, but it’s got to do everything.

And when it comes to kitchen gear, I’ve got what I need, or so I thought. My most basic is the fridge and my most high-tech?

Probably my Thermomix which I love BUT its doesn’t do everything!

The problem with ice

What happens when I want to serve perfectly chilled drinks without planning ahead? Or ensure they stay cold for longer. I end up diluting the flavor and retaining the chill factor by adding ice – if I’ve got it.

That can lead to messy dripping onto a sideboard or a big ice bucket taking up space on a coffee table.

Imagine in your front kitchen (or only kitchen) – a sleek, built in electronic bottle chiller / cooler that’s designed to quietly house your bottle of water, wine, juice, matcha or even gazpacho if you like and keep chilled at exactly the temperature you want.

It adds a luxury lifestyle element that’s truly functional as well.

See feature picture above.

So you can pour directly as you need, no extra fridge space or messy handling of ice! No problem if you run out of ice either.

Meet the integrated bottle chiller that cools your bottle in minutes

Enter the integrated bottle chiller, a sleek, built-in solution that chills your bottle in a few minutes either remotely via an app on your phone or just by touching the crown of the unit itself.

You can even customise the look to blend in with your existing decor for wherever you need, be it on a kitchen island, bar, pool deck or even your boat!

Set the temperature of your wine or water or whatever you’re drinking and just carry on cooking or chatting while your drinks stay perfectly chilled.

The electronic bottle chiller has an impressive temperature range from 2 to 20 degrees, which sommelier can offer you that?!

Thanks to Garth from Nova Holding Group, I discovered the integrated bottle chiller, a neat, built-in solution that chills your bottle in just a few minutes.

No fridge space. No ice buckets. And no dilution of your drinks.

If I were designing a new kitchen, I would love one of these electronic chillers built right into the island or bar, so the bottle stays cold throughout my meal or gathering. It also takes just a few minutes to chill any special bottle too for those spontaneous moments.

Drinks could easily be topped up without even interrupting the conversation, literally an ice breaker topic when you have people over!

KITCHEN CULTURE IS COOL DoinDubai Moncia Kapila works for any bottle

From what I’ve seen the inbuilt chiller is elegant, useful, and genuinely impressive.

I’ve seen them in kitchen show rooms in Dubai and in place on the sun decks at Aura Sky pool too. I’m sure you’ll see more of them in Dubai and other emirates in the UAE soon.
