The result? Excellent quality with flawless taste.

Microwave Ovens in a Kitchen Island
Installing a microwave in a kitchen Island. Utilizing an island for kitchen appliances is often just a case of good space planning. Designers are increasingly installing microwave ovens in the kitchen island. Microwave ovens can be problematic against a wall where upper cabinets a) may not make sense ergonomically, and b) don't fit in a standard 12" deep cabinet. The island turns out to be a logical and convenient location for a microwave oven. The easily accessible microwave oven under the counter is a good example of universal design at work. Consumers can choose from an inexpensive countertop microwave with trim kit, or if they don't like the side swing door, several manufacturers offer built-in options with drop down doors. Some companies even have microwave ovens which have a motorized drawer. Here are three brands that offer good options for island microwaves: KitchenAid KitchenAid offers a choice of built-in microwave ovens that can work nicely in an island. The oven below is a 24" wide oven that comes with a 27", and 30" trim kit so that it can work in a 24", 27", or 30" cabinet. KitchenAid also offers a very powerful built-in Micro-Convection oven that is available in a 240v. version.Sharp Sharp is a leader in microwave ovens and pioneered the microwave drawer. They also source microwave drawers for a number of other leading brands. The Sharp microwave drawer is available in both a 27" and 30" version. [caption id="" -

Cooking and drinking tips for the holiday
Holiday Reminders for Cooking and Drinking Cooking Find your meat probe for roasting. If your oven has a feature allowing you to roast by temperature rather than time, you should use it. It is much more accurate. If you don't use this feature often, chances are that the temperature probe is hidden away with your instruction manual so you'll need to conduct a search ahead of time. Use the right pan for convection. The convection feature is wonderful for roasting and baking, but it's important to remember that the oven air needs to circulate around the food. If you have a roast or a bird sitting on the bottom of a roasting pan with high sides, you need to make sure that a roasting rack or trivet gets the meat above the pan sides so that convection air will encircle the food. Don't forget your low simmer burner. This time of year there are lots of sauces and soups that need to sit on the stove for a long time at a very low settings. If you're having trouble getting a low enough flame on your gas burner try checking to see if you have another burner on your range with a lower simmer setting. Most ranges and cooktops today will have at least one burner capable of maintaining a very low flame, whereas the power burner probably won't be able to turn down low enough for your sauce. Double check your recipe ingredients. Nothing worse than thinking you had -

A Primer on Convection Cooking
What you should know about convection cooking.If you have a convection range or oven and don't use it, or if you are considering a new range or oven here are the essential facts you should know.Here's how convection works - the theory behind convection cooking. Convection ovens rapidly move hot air past food making it possible to cook better, faster, and at a lower temperature. They are fan operated to force the hot air over and around the food, and typically have separate convection elements surrounding the fans to assist in providing heat. Most residential convection ovens are selective use. This means that users can choose when to use convection and when not to use convection.Here are the important advantages and disadvantages of convection cooking.Advantages Using convection for roasting reduces cooking time by as much as 25%.Using convection for baking provides consistent results cooking at a lower temperature for the same amount of time.Because of the consistent temperature throughout the oven cavity, using convection allows for cooking on all the racks at the same time. Cookies baked on the top rack will come out exactly the same as cookies baked on the bottom rack.Cooking with convection will provide superior results. Roasts will have a dark caramelized exterior, and remain juicy and tender inside.

Don't be afraid of convection.
We've been selling convection ovens in the U.S. for decades. Yet, there are still many customers out there who shy away from convection for several reasons. Here are some important points to keep in mind: Convection is an option. Though I regularly use this feature in my oven at home, there are times when I elect not to use it. My wife usually does not use convection, but there are times that she chooses to. It's up to you whether you want to use the convection feature in your oven or not. Convection is easy to use. Many convection ovens today have an auto conversion feature allowing you to set your oven just as you normally would. The oven then converts the time/temperature as needed for convection cooking of your favorite recpe. Convection is more expensive. Well, yes. However, in most cases if you want a manufacturer's better range or oven convection is an included feature - just as power steering and automatic transmission is more expensive, but you can hardly get a car without it. We plan on blogging more about convection, but first we'd like to hear from you. Post your questions and comments in the comments section and we'll have our experts reply. Speaking of experts, our sales staff at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center can provide the expert help you need to select your new convection oven or any other appliance you may need. AND they'll get you a great price too. Call them at: 888
