Tips to Keep Food Fresh from Sub Zero
Sub Zero Helps Users Keep Food Fresh Longer Working with experts at UC Davis Sub Zero developed User Reference Cards that provide valuable advice on proper food storage in Sub Zero refrigerators and freezers. Below are examples of some of the information Sub Zero provides to help keep food fresh: Some Food Storage Tips from Sub Zero Avoiding Cross-Contamination Sanitize counters, equipment and utensils after handling raw meat, seafood or poultry. Rinse with a dilute chlorine bleach solution, one teaspoon to a quart of water. Avoid cross-contamination in preparing food. Keep raw meat, poultry and seafood and their juices away from other food. For example, don’t use the same surface and utensils for preparing raw meat, poultry and seafood that you use for preparing salad ingredients. Ethelyne Producing Foods Some fruits and vegetables will produce ethylene, a gas that initiates the ripening process. Ethylene can cause premature ripening in some foods, while in others it can actually cause damage. To reduce unnecessary spoilage of your produce, do not store ethylene producing fruits and vegetables with those that are sensitive to it. Ice Cream The firmness of the ice cream will depend on its cream content. Higher quality ice creams usually have a higher cream content, requiring colder freezer temperatures to maintain their firmness. Soft ice cream is not always an indication of a temperature problem. Keeping Things Clean Clean everything that comes in contact with food. Wash your hands for 20 seconds before and after handling food. Use clean -

New French Door Refrigerators from Sub-Zero
French Door Refrigerators have become very popular over the last decade. However, there hasn't been much selection of French Door Refrigerators in the built-in category. Not until now, that is. The leading manufacturer of built-in refrigerators, Sub-Zero, has introduced a 36” French door refrigerator/freezer, the latest addition to their line of built-in refrigeration. The French-door style is popular for its looks and appreciated for its functional benefits. Open either of the two, 18”-wide doors independently, or open them together for full access to the refrigerator’s interior even in narrower spaces.Like all Sub-Zero built-in models, it maintains strict standards for reliability and performance, and is available in timeless stainless steel or ready to be fitted with a custom panel overlay. Fresh foods need chilly, humid air to stay fresh. Frozen foods require frigid, dry air to preserve flavor. Yet the typical refrigerator-freezer compromises, using a single compressor that lets air circulate between the two sides. Not with Sub-Zero. They don’t compromise food’s freshness and flavor. Their built-in has dual refrigeration — separate, sealed systems for refrigerator and freezer that ensure optimum preservation conditions for each type of food.Digital controls keep the temperature within 1°F of where you set it. Doors seal magnetically on all four sides, locking in cold air and saving energy. There’s even a “fridge within a fridge,” a lower-temperature, higher-humidity zone that keeps vegetables crisp and flavorful even longer.To help you make the most of all this innovative food preservation -

Labor Day Sale: Game On!
Football Season is here. Summer is over. School has started. IT'S LABOR DAY!! Time for the annual Labor Day Sales to begin. I saw the Today show on TV this morning and they showed all the things that are on sale for Labor Day. Gas Grills were featured. Can you imagine buying a gas grill for $199? Me neither, at least not one that will last a year. This was a black painted grill you can get on sale at the home Improvement chain. By Memorial Day next year you'll be moving it from the back yard to the front driveway and there will be a sign on it FREE because the black paint will be flaking off and you'll be so disappointed in the performance of this piece of _ _ _ _ that you just want somebody to take it away.This is LABOR DAY. You've worked hard. You should reward yourself with a really nice professional grill made of high grade stainless steel. It is a good time to buy a grill because of the season. Closeouts and special inventory clearances abound. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center has some terrific offers out there and you won't be disappointed. These are high quality units that are made to last. Some are double wall construction and the stainless steel hoods are so heavy that they have built-in "assist" systems to help open and close.Just look at this example, and this is just one of many different grills to choose from: -

Ten Reasons for a Labor Day Celebration
Can you believe it's here already? Labor Day. What does Labor Day mean to you?A celebration of the achievements and contributions of American workers - Oregon was the first state to recognize Labor Day as a Holiday in 1887. It wasn't until 1894 that Labor Day became a U.S. Holiday. #1 above is the official reason for the Labor Day holiday, and the other nine reasons below are merely additional reasons to celebrate.A day off work - Nobody can object to having a day off work at the end of summer. While we have roughly the same amount of holidays as say our brethern in the U.K., they have a mandatory 20 days of vacation or more than twice the vacation time that the average worker enjoys in the U.S.A three day holiday - The three day (Monday) holiday has become a ritual due to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 which applies to all Federal Holidays except for New Years, Independence Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.A time for barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings - It would seem odd for most American's to celebrate Labor Day without some form of barbecue, picnic, or family gathering. Indeed, this appears to be part of the original Labor Day charter which called for a parade followed by a festival for workers and their families.The end of summer - It seems like a good marker for the end of summer. Vacations are over. Except -

Choosing an Appliance Brand
Getting ready to purchase new appliances and confused about where to begin? How about settling on a brand first? This can be an easy way to narrow the field and to make sure that you get a product that suites your lifestyle and your budget.First let's consider what a brand really is and what it means. Unfortunately, the word brand has different meanings to different people and in different circumstances. For example, we often associate a brand with its logo. We also sometimes confuse a brand with its generic equivalent. We think of the word BandAid as the same as a bandage, even though it is only one brand of bandage, or we ask for a Kleenex instead of a tissue. Basically, a brand tells the unique story of a product or company. It defines the product or company. Marketers like to say that a brand is the company or organization's specific "promise".How does that help us in buying appliances? When you select the appliances for your home, you are looking for a set of attributes that most fit your needs that include product features, quality, price, warranty, etc. Each brand will represent a collection of those attributes.Appliance manufacturers tend to position themselves across a spectrum of these attributes and that makes it much easier for customers to narrow their section. For example, if we were looking at refrigerators strictly for price you would find the Chinese brand Haier at one end of the price -

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. Baked goods will brown evenly and stay moist.Disadvantages Convection cooking may require adapting standard recipes to achieve proper results.There is no benefit to using convection in casserole dishes or other containers that do -
