Small Spaces, Smart Storage Designed for intelligent use of small spaces, Ariston's 36-inch, double-drawer, under-counter refrigerator features a variety of movable compartments that can be switched around and configured as the user finds convenient. The covered see-through plastic bins and stainless steel compartments are also dishwasher safe. Offering a total of 6.7 cubic feet of storage, each drawer fully extends and is large enough to hold party platters as well as tall enough for milk jugs.

Along with a salad crisper, egg box, fruit box, butter container, and meat pans, the drawers include a three-bottle wine holder in the top section and stainless steel racks for large beverage bottles in the bottom section. The drawers sport crisp edges, stainless steel surfaces, and modern handles. Ariston Appliances. 888.426.0845. www.aristonappliances.us.

Stainless Reputation Sonoma Cast Stone's NuCrete cast concrete surfacing was developed to resist staining and etching by everyday substances like food, oil, acid, and cleaning solutions. The surfacing doesn't need an epoxy topcoat for protection. Instead it depends on proprietary additives in the batch mix and finish along with a modified curing and finishing process for its “stainless” properties.

The manufacturer says that substances like red wine, lemons, strawberries, olive oil, and vinegar can be safely left on a NuCrete surface overnight or for several days without staining. The company also offers a five-year guarantee against staining.

NuCrete is available in nearly 40 standard color finishes as well as in custom colors and can be cast into countertops; tubs; CounterTiles; and countertop-integrated sinks in ramp, wave, vessel, and trough configurations. Sonoma Cast Stone. 877.283.2400. www.sonomastone.com.
