Kitchens continue to be the heart of the home and one of the most expensive areas to remodel. In their race to bring the coolest gadgets to homeowners, kitchen appliance manufacturers are making it easier to customize the look and inner workings of refrigerators, cooktops, and ovens. Here are four of our favorite custom kitchen appliances that you can make your own.
The Jenn-Air Module cooktop set
Have you ever been in the middle of prepping a big meal and say to yourself, “I wish one of these burners was a griddle”? Or maybe you wish your cooktop featured both induction and gas elements? If so, this is the product for you! Each 15" unit sits flush with the countertop. Choose from single or double gas or induction burners, a griddle, and induction wok to create a cooktop combination that's tailored just for you. If you've ever dreamed of it, you can probably create it. Learn more
