At a time when the real estate market is stagnant, the experts will tell you it makes more sense to stay put and upgrade than to move. And if you’re like most people, the place you’ll want to start is in the kitchen, which typically offers the highest return on investment and is often the most popular room in the house.

You may be scared off by the fact that the average kitchen remodel costs $54,241 according to Remodeling Magazine. But you don’t have to invest in a complete kitchen remodel to improve your situation dramatically. The kitchen of tomorrow can be yours today if you make just a few changes.

A good place to start is by replacing your conventional cook top and oven with an automatic cooker that can do everything from making omelets and cooking pasta to grilling steaks and baking cookies at the touch of a button, thanks to its intelligent cooking feature.

Thermador Induction Cooktop

Buy New: $3,039.00

A Thermador kitchen is more luxurious, more efficient and more beautiful than any other kitchen. Because for seven decades, Thermador has been at the forefront of fusing the art and science of design and ingenuity. From introducing the first built-in oven almost 50 years ago to revolutionizing gas cooktops with the patented Star Burner; and from designing the first retractable downdraft ventilation system to advancing speed cooking technology; Thermador has helped transform the American kitchen. Thermador develops their own proprietary induction technology to ensure that they meet the strict standards for quality, precision, durability and performance. One of their unique features is the Stainless Steel Trim. It’s the cooktop of choice by professional chefs.

The RATIONAL SelfCooking Center is already used prominently in restaurants and other commercial operations, but smaller versions of it are now showing up in more and more residential kitchen remodels. For your next dinner party, wouldn’t it be great to be able to grill chicken and bake a cake at the same time? Or how about preparing hors d’oeuvres, grilling steak and cooking fries simultaneously; or cooking salmon and steaming vegetables at the same time without any flavor transfer and perfect results every time?

The SelfCooking Center’s LevelControl feature allows you to cook various foods at the same time. This feature is coveted by homeowners who love to cook but don’t have a lot of time to do it. And, if your family is like many American families, you know how hard it is to get everybody to eat the same thing or get to the dinner table at the same time. Just prep and plate your meal — or meals — ahead of time and finish them off when you’re ready to eat.

To make things even simpler, there is no shortage of accessories like the no-stick moulds that make it quick and easy to prepare muffins, vegetable mousses, poached eggs and more. After the cooking is finished, the SelfCooking Center even cleans itself with the CleanJet system and cleaning tablets.

Tired of having to rinse dishes at the end of a meal before putting them in the dishwasher? Make that practice a thing of the past by upgrading to a newer model that is capable of sensing how dirty your dishes are. The sprayers will work extra hard in areas where they’re needed, and back off where they’re not. There are even machines available today that are able to determine exactly how much water is needed to wash the current load, so you don’t have to feel guilty about washing just a meal’s worth of dishes ever again.

Another futuristic appliance that industry insiders say is just around the corner is a refrigerator that keeps track of what’s inside. It’s so smart, it can also suggest menus that use some of those foods, and once you’ve selected the menu, will supply a grocery list for other items you need to pick up.

Feel like your kitchen is cluttered? Move the faucet off the countertop by upgrading to a wall-mounted faucet unit. Out of drawer space? You may want to opt for under-the-oven hood storage where you can hide up to 20 pounds worth of kitchen paraphernalia.

These are just some of the upgrades that will turn a run-of-the-mill kitchen into something extraordinary.

The first of each year often leaves us looking for ways to streamline overextended budgets and expanded waistlines, too. Fortunately, eggs can help us mend budget excesses and get back into the groove of healthful eating.

Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet

List Price: $27.50
Buy New: $14.75

The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require “seasoning.” To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother’s ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom pan you will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn’t stick to this surface. A large skillet, such as this one, is ideal for frying chicken or catfish or for baking a pie.

Despite the fact that eggs provide the highest quality protein of any food, they’re a real protein bargain. It’s easy to compare the price of eggs to the price of other protein foods. A dozen Large eggs weigh 1 1/2 pounds, so the price per pound of Large eggs is two-thirds of the price per dozen. For example, if Large eggs cost 90 cents per dozen, they’re only 60 cents per pound. At $1.20 per dozen, Large eggs are just 80 cents per pound. There isn’t another high-quality protein food that can compare.

Nutrient-dense eggs can also help us manage our weight. A good breakfast can help us avoid overeating by making us feel full longer. In adult research, when overweight women had a protein-based breakfast (eggs, toast and fruit spread), they ate fewer calories the rest of the day compared to women who had a carbohydrate-based breakfast (bagel, cream cheese and yogurt). Although the calorie level for both breakfasts was the same, the protein-based breakfast made the women feel more satisfied. Because they didn’t feel ‘starved’ at other meals, the women could avoid filling up with too much food throughout the day.

There’s no reason to reserve eggs just for breakfast, though. The protein power of eggs can provide the energy we need any meal of the day, including dinner. Because just about everyone loves eggs, you’re likely to find that your family appreciates the comfort of hearty egg dishes for evening meals, too. And, you’ll appreciate how easy egg dishes are to prepare.

The age-old argument of form versus function need not apply while upgrading your home. There are easy, do-it-yourself ways to improve your living spaces while making your home more beautiful and functional. Whether your home is a small apartment or a large estate there are many simple, low-cost projects that can have a big impact.

Unlike the cookie-cutter homes of yesteryear, today people want their interior spaces to be customized. Upgrades such as custom walk-in clothes closets and slab granite countertops are nice, but pricey and frequently require professional installation. What if you live in an older home that has no overhead lighting in the bedroom? Or you’ve got a small living room that has room for extra seating or a coffee table, but not both?

Under Cabinet—Out of Sight, Not Out of Mind
There are many products that may be installed under your cabinets to make your kitchen more functional while using previously wasted space. If you like to be entertained while preparing food, but have no counter space to spare, try an under cabinet television, radio or combination of the two. Under cabinet lighting brightens up any kitchen space and can shed light on nooks and crannies that had been neglected in the dark.

Install an under cabinet spice rack to free up valuable counter real estate. The racks hold 14 to 24 jars of herbs and spices without sacrificing cabinet, counter or drawer space.

Feeny 4 Tier Spice Rack 13 3/4″ Wide White

Buy New: $23.94

I love the fact that I can find my spices much more quickly now! I use lots of them - and often. Only the fact that it wasn’t five/six rows long and that the bottom shelf is a bit deeper than I would have liked, kept it from being a 5. I have it on my pantry shelf door. One that was more shelves would have accommodated almost all of my spices.

Up a Wall
If you need to add extra space to your place, look up. The walls are an often overlooked area when adding storage to your home. Add shelving to the kitchen, bathroom, laundry area, linen and clothing closets to increase space for the things we accumulate.

The least expensive way to add shelving is to purchase pre-made wire shelves from your local retailer. But wire shelves are not very attractive and the spaces between the wires often allow for products—and messes—to spill through. The Shelfanator is a solid white wood-look shelf cover specifically designed to fit right over wire shelving. The Shelfanator cover locks in place and creates a flat, even and sturdy surface on top of sometimes clumsy wire shelves and gives them a custom look. The covers are water and stain resistant and significantly brighten up the areas where wire shelving is typically used—laundry rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and closets. Installation takes just a few minutes. The product can be purchased at www.Shelfanator.com.

Shed Some Light in Tight Spaces
The addition of a comfortable chair and wall-mounted lighting can easily create a book nook in an unused corner. Adding wall-mounted lighting to both sides of a bed provides light that is adjustable based on the reader’s — or sleeper’s — preference. Lighting mounted on the wall is stylish, clean, uncluttered and does not take up precious table space needed for alarm clocks and books.

Install dimmer switches to control the light level in a living room, bedroom or dining area. Dimmer switches add ambience and changing the light instantly changes the way a room looks.

The Garage—Not Just for the Car Anymore
Purchase an epoxy coating kit from your local hardware retailer and follow the simple instructions to transform your dingy garage floor in just a few hours. Not only does a fresh epoxy coat look nice and add value, but it hides stains and is easy to clean. It even increases the usable floor space in the garage by brightening the space and eliminating formerly cobwebbed and dirt covered spaces.

Stuff to Put More Stuff
The next time you’re in the market for a chair or coffee table, purchase a piece of furniture that does double duty. There are coffee tables with tops that lift up to create a workspace and have shelves and drawers to store the remote controls. Storage ottomans have hidden space inside to store books and blankets, but when the top is on they add extra seating or can act as a footrest or table. Sofa beds offer a comfortable seating option and the bed inside pulls out when guests stay overnight.

The next time you have a free afternoon, take time to upgrade and customize your space. The payoff is clean, uncluttered rooms that are comfortable and functional.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day with tempting chocolates, cookies and heart shaped cakes can be challenging on New Year’s resolutions, but now you can satisfy your sweet tooth with a little less guilt.

Amana AMC2206BAS 2.0 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave Oven with 1,100 Cooking Watts and Touchmatic Control System: Stainless Steel

Buy New: $229.00

The Amana AMC2206 series Countertop Microwave Oven delivers 1,100 watts of power with 2.0 cu. ft. capacity. It makes cooking family-sized entrees a flash. With a Kitchen timer, it lets you time what you have cooking on the stove even when the microwave is on. For meals in a hurry, Auto Defrost thaws meat perfectly through and through. Just touching the buttons with the Touchmatic Control system makes this microwave simple to operate while the Cooking Complete reminder lets you know when it’s time to eat. There is even a Child Lockout to prevent kids from hurting themselves or the microwave.

It’s not surprising that football and microwave cooking go hand-in-hand; both the Super Bowl and the world’s first countertop microwave oven by Amana made their debut in the same year — 1967. However, with today’s advanced microwave technologies, you can do much more than reheat foods while cheering for your favorite team. With added conveniences such as convection, larger oven capacities and up to 1500 watts of power, microwave ovens are built to ensure fast, even cooking for a wider variety of foods.

These days, microwave ovens let you to create tempting snacks in a flash — including classic recipes that families have enjoyed for years. Many new and updated recipes are so easy that football fans of any age (or culinary skill level) can help prepare them. Off-the-shelf, ready made ingredients also allow you to quickly whip up snacks that would ordinarily take hours to prepare.

To celebrate 40 years of microwave cooking, Amana combed its archives for the all-time favorite microwave recipes collected over the years, and created a new online downloadable cookbook. “Fast Food Redefined: 40 Years Ago Amana Invented a New Way to Cook” lets you save more time than ever while exploring new and clever cooking possibilities. Many nostalgic recipes can be easily recreated using at most, seven or eight ingredients.

The cookbook offers a new twist on classic snack favorites such as Crunchy Nibble Mix made with corn cereal squares, popped popcorn, pretzels, mixed nuts and dried cranberries. Or try another snacking favorite, Spinach Dip in a Bread Boat served warm with bread cubes. Create crowd-pleasing Fiesta Nacho Dip made with cream cheese, refried beans and salsa. Round out the snack menu with Snappy Glazed Meatballs that cook in 15 short minutes, and you’ll be the hero at halftime.

Presto 05466 ProFry Stainless-Steel Dual-Basket Immersion-Element 12-Cup Deep Fryer January 8, 2008

One word: Amazing.
The glowing reviews were my reason for buying this model, and now that I’ve had the chance to use it for a while, I feel I should contribute mine.

It may not have an LCD display, a thermometer, or a timer, but this thing can fry. Everything I’ve made in it has turned out great. French fries, jalapeno poppers, popcorn chicken, and chicken wings all come out perfect.

A recent review has stated that the temp knob is wrong and the oil isn’t hot enough, and while I’m sure it isn’t perfect, the exact opposite happens for me. The oil, when set on 375, is usually higher than that, so if I want to cook something on 375 (fries, for instance), I will set the knob a little under 375, and they come out great.

A couple tips: For crispier foods, fry with the lid off. Frying french fries twice (frying them for around 3-4 minutes, just enough to become soft, and then letting them sit for 15+ minutes, then frying again until done) works really good. When you take foods out of the oil, they’re still cooking, keep this in mind so you don’t burn things.

Hamilton Beach resolves the complaints of many customers tired of chopping fruits and vegetables to feed through ordinary home juicer chutes. The Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor is designed to accept whole fruits - or at least larger pieces - for speedier, easier juicing. When it’s more convenient, you’re more likely to use it. So don’t shy away from the fresh taste and nutrition of freshly extracted juices. With its large chute and powerful motor, juicing at home makes more sense than ever. Juice cup included.

Great for first-time juicer January 14, 2008
This is my first juicer, and so far, I’m very happy with it. I only use it a couple of times a week, so it is not something I use daily. I’ve had it for about a month and for its purpose in our household, it works great. I did some preliminary research before purchasing it and can confirm the other positive reviews that it received from other consumers. The only slight drawback is the clean-up; it isn’t difficult, but it is a multi-step process. With practice, however, I think I will get more efficient and as long as you clean right after you juice, it is a cinch. Great product!

Zevro Dual Dry Food Dispenser

List Price: $49.95
Buy New: $26.00
You Save: $23.95 (48%)

Tired of all that cereal box clutter on your countertops? This system effectively stores and dispenses your cereal while keeping it fresh! Easy to fill, and to clean, you’ll find using this method is fun and efficient. The tap also controls portion size. Children will love this device and adults will find it extremely convenient.

We loved this so much that we wound up buying a second one of these to accommodate 4 different cereals (we have 4 kids). And yes, this doesn’t easily facilitate all cereals - but as a mom, you can tell you kids “you can have this, this or this. now what’ll it be?” We’ve worked it out that way. No more Fruit Loops, but now I can buy the Trix stuff that comes in the bags — which is much cheaper and the kids don’t care. And it fits in this handy dispenser. Or the Cocoa Puffs version of the cheap stuff in the bags - again, it fits in the dispenser and my kids don’t know the difference between the name brand and the generic brand. My only drawback is that I may be slightly neurotic and every time I take it apart to clean it, I’m afraid I’m going to break it. It is a little flimsy. You’re probably better off keeping the same cereal in it for a while before cleaning it rather than putting the stress on the plastic.

I had not used the Kitchen Aid Artisan before I purchased it, but had seen many cooks use it on TV. No other mixer I have used comes close to this one.

With the way the mixer head rotates, you don’t have to do anything except maybe scrape the bowl a few times. I made cookie dough with no problem, my old mixer would overheat on thick products like cookie dough and potatoes. I love this product, it makes mixing sooooo easy!

Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain

Product Description:
The stabilizing knife centers the fruits or vegetables over the cutter and filter to increase yield by 30%. This makes it 10 times faster than other juice extractors. The patented dual centered knife system minces fruits and vegetables into minute particles and forces them against the mesh filter for speed and maximum yield. The easy to clean internal pulp container is simple to assemble with the durable stainless steel base and makes 1.5 quarts of juice before needing to be emptied.
