The best part of any "MTV Cribs" episode (besides seeing where "the magic happens," of course), was arguably the kitchen tour. Viewers gazed at the magnificent appliances and stocked refrigerators in pure awe.

But just because "Cribs" days are behind us, it doesn't mean we've lost the desire to peek into the luxurious lives and kitchens of the rich and famous. Thanks to Redbook, we have a brand new opportunity to swoon.

Some of the 18 kitchens featured are modern, some are rustic. Some boast epic views (ahem, Jay-Z and Beyonce), most include enviable islands. One thing they all have in common? They are massive, beautiful and just scream "cook and spend time in me!"

That notion hits home especially hard for us urban-dwelling mortals, who live in entire apartments sometimes smaller than these glorious rooms.

Check out the kitchens in all their stainless steel, granite glory below.

9 Dirty Things In Your Home You Probably Haven’t Been Cleaning

Food Processors(01 of09)

Cleaning a food processor can be a fiddly business. Once the joy of your sweet smoothie is gone, you’re left with the sticky remnants of dried fruit splattered in and around the blades. Luckily, they're easy to clean: •Making it sure it is unplugged, separating the food processor will make it easier for you to clean those hard-to-reach places. • Gently wipe the base of the food processor with a damp cloth. Do not submerge this in water - you don’t want to cause water damage to any electrical parts of the blender.•Place the remaining components of the food blender into hot soapy water and leave to soak for 10 minutes.•Taking care to watch for sharp edges, use a toothbrush to scrub inside the blade. •Rinse with clean cool water and dry all components thoroughly before putting your food processor back together.

Kitchen Sink(03 of09)

We clean the dishes on a daily basis but what about the kitchen sink? In order to keep your bowls bacteria-free, the kitchen sink needs to be washed regularly. Here’s how: •Make sure your sink is empty and pour a cup of boiling water down the drain to prevent any smells from leftover food. •Now, spray kitchen sink cleaner into the sink and leave for five minutes to work the stains. •When you have waited five minutes, rinse the entire sink with warm water to leave a clean basin. •To get rid of limescale, cut a grapefruit in half and sprinkle one half with salt. Scrub the area that is grimy and rinse with water. The salt will remove the limescale while the grapefruit leaves a clean, citrusy smell. (credit:ML Harris via Getty Images)

Skirting Boards (04 of09)

Skirting boards often go unnoticed because they are not at eye level but that doesn’t mean they don’t need to be cleaned. The truth is skirting boards are dust magnets and usually have scuff-marks all over them.•If you don’t fancy getting down on all fours, plug in your vacuum cleaner and attach the small brush to your hoover's hose. •Switch on the vacuum cleaner and run the hose along the skirting boards to get rid of the dust. •Use a damp cloth to remove scuffmarks. •Mayonnaise is also ideal for removing marks on wood. Simply put a small amount of mayonnaise on a cloth and wipe the mark you want to remove. •Leave the oils to work and wipe away any residue with a fresh, clean cloth.

Light Switches(05 of09)

TV Remote Control(06 of09)

Remote controls are touched by lots of people throughout the day, leaving behind skin, oils and germs. To prevent bacteria from spreading and a build-up of dirt in your buttons, it’s important to regularly clean your remote control. •Use a disinfectant wipe every few days to get rid of any bacteria. •To make sure the buttons are clean, use a cotton bud dipped in rubbing alcohol. •Dry the remote control thoroughly before using.

Bathmat(07 of09)

The floor is one of the most germ-ridden places in the bathroom so a dirty bathmat is inevitable. To banish bacteria and stop your damp mats from going mouldy, it’s important to regularly wash them. •Put the bath mat into a washing machine and wash on a high heat to get rid of as many germs as possible. •Now the washing machine is on, it’s time to tackle that bathroom floor. Pour hot water into your mop bucket and add a cup of floor cleaner. •Mop the floor, making sure to wipe the skirting boards as you go and leave the floor to dry. •When the floor and bathmat are dry, place the mat back in its original place.

Chopping Boards(08 of09)

Research suggests there are roughly 200 times more faecal bacteria on the average cutting board than on a toilet seat – eww! Giving your chopping board a thorough clean after use is a necessity to get rid of nasty germs. •Place the chopping board into a washing-up bowl full of hot water and scrub with washing-up liquid. •Rinse clean with warm water and dry the chopping board with kitchen paper. It’s important not to use the dishcloth as often these have germs on and will contaminate the clean chopping board. •If you would like to use eco-friendly products to clean your chopping board, white vinegar is also effective. To do this, pour a few droplets of white vinegar onto your cutting surface and leave to disinfect for a few minutes, then rinse and leave to dry. (credit:Sasha Bell via Getty Images)

House Plants(09 of09)

People are often surprised to learn that household plants need to be cleaned. We buy them to make our house look and smell fresh but it’s not long before dust piles up and bugs begin to breed on the leaves. Fortunately, keeping your greens clean is easy. •Place small plants into your sink and large plants into your shower and rinse with warm water to get rid of dust and insects. •Let the water soak in before putting back into direct sunlight. •Wipe individual leaves with a damp cloth. Use water and not polish or oil as this can damage the plant. •You can further tidy your plant by getting rid of dead, brown or yellowing leaves. (credit:moodboard via Getty Images)
