Around here, you can still hard-wire an appliance and quite a few appliances come that way. One neighbour during a kitchen remodel added a warming drawer which was hard-wired. You need to have the appropriate permits and, preferably, a licensed electrician do the work. The electrician is not necessary but it keeps the insurance company from being able to deny a claim. If your appliance comes with a plug, it makes more sense to have the electrician install the 220V outlet unless you really want to pay again when you replace the appliance.
