Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas at UAKC
Unique and Practical Gift Idea: Over-the-Range Microhood At Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Throughout the 80's and 90's countertop microwaves were hugely popular as gifts. But their popularity has waned as has their practicality because of the precious countertop space that they occupy. A practical solution to this problem is to replace that old vent hood with a new Over-the-Range (OTR) Micro-hood that serves both as a microwave and a vent hood. Micro-hoods (invented by GE) are increasingly becoming standard in new home construction, but they are rarely thought of as gifts because they need to be installed. However, Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) has a solution to the installation problem. They have their own factory-trained installation crews. They can quickly replace that old vent hood, and they'll even haul it away for free. Take a look below at a just a few of the many micro-hoods available at UAKC, and hurry in today to order yours.

They are modestly priced and have some great features. All of them have 1000 watts of power and at least -

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.

Double check your recipe ingredients. Nothing worse than thinking you had
