What adds the most value to a kitchen remodel?

• <div><p>Updates to your kitchen that enhance its look and utility, without significantly modifying the layout, add the most value. That includes <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-refinish-cabinets.htm">refinishing cabinets</a>, replacing appliances with newer models, replacing countertops, and painting walls. </p></div>

Is it worth fixing a 10-year-old oven?

• <div><p>Considering ovens can last 15 years (and sometimes more), it is likely a better idea to repair a 10-year-old oven, assuming the repair won’t cost more than 50% of the oven’s value. So, for instance, if your oven is worth <b>$1,200</b> and the repair is only <b>$400</b>, it’s a better option to complete the repair.</p></div>

Q: How do you get the burnt smell out of the microwave?

• <div><p>If you burn popcorn or other food items in the microwave, the smell lingers for an uncomfortably long time. To get the burnt smell out of your microwave, remove any leftover burnt food debris and then heat 1 cup of water in a microwave-safe container for about three minutes. Next, clean the inside of the microwave with a soft microfiber cloth, water, and a small amount of dish soap. Dry and let the microwave air out for two to three hours.</p></div>

Q: What types of microwaves are available?

• <div><p>Options include countertop, over-the-range, and built-in models. Choose based on kitchen layout and functionality.</p></div>

Q: Should I splurge on professional kitchen appliances?

• <div><p>Unless you&rsquo;re a professional chef, pro-level appliances are probably not worth it. The price difference can be anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 for a higher-end, pro set of appliances, while fully-loaded, energy-efficient mass-market models will likely have everything you need to cook everything from cassoulets to crepes. </p></div>
