Kitchen renovation can be an exciting step for some and stressful for others. Since as soon as the renovation starts, you will be locked out of your place of cooking. However, adjusting and staying in the same house can help you cut down costs during renovations. So, how exactly will you do that? Well, here is how:
Kitchen Remodeling Tips For Homeowners
The start of your renovation schedule can be tough in the first week or so, but you can take a deep breath and relax when you are prepared. The following advice will help you get ready for the trip:
Plan Out Your Packing List
You can feel confident that you have everything you need to prepare to access to your usual kitchenware if you have a short packing list. Therefore, get everything you typically use for eating and cooking out of your cabinets. Additionally, to make sure you don’t overlook anything that someone else might need, go over this list with a family member.
Create A Temporary Kitchen
With kitchen renovation going on, you won’t have access to your place of cooking, which is why we recommend setting up a temporary kitchen. This will allow you to stick to your daily routine and save money on eating out. Pick out essentials, such as:
- Knives, forks, spoons, and cooking utensils
- A salad bar or foldable table for food preparation
- Griddles, frying pans, and other pots
- Cups, bowls, and plates
- Food storage items
- Cutting boards, strainers, etc
- Other favorite appliances
Plan A Menu Ahead Of Time
Even without your stove, there are various meals you can prepare in your temporary kitchen. Here are a few examples:
Instant Pot
Rice, sauces, pasta, chicken.
Slow Cooker
Pot roast, chili, stew, pulled meat, soup.
Hot Plate
Pasta, eggs, soup.
Electric Griddle
Pancakes, bacon, quesadillas.
Microwave
Instant rice, steamed veggies, frozen microwave meals, and leftovers.
With all of these cooking tools, you can create delectable meals in your makeshift kitchen. Many of the recipes are designed to be frozen in an old garage refrigerator or consumed as leftovers.
Take Advantage Of Your Kitchen Appliances
There are many ways to spice up the food while also making it more convenient for yourself. This can be done by becoming familiar with your cooking appliances, even in a temporary kitchen. This setup might include the following:
- Microwave
- Coffee maker or tea kettle
- Slow cooker
- Hot plate
- Electric kettle or pan
- Toaster
- Portable griddle
- Instant pot
- Mini fridge
Create A Temporary Dining Space
If meals are typically eaten in the kitchen, it’s important to set aside a dining room as well because you won’t have normal access to your kitchen cabinets and cooking area. Whether you’re using a folding table on the couch or a makeshift dining table, pick a spot away from any drywall dust.
