Valuable advice - Get a new disposer when replacing a dishwasher
This is going to save you some money. If you're replacing an old dishwasher, consider replacing the disposer at the same time. It makes sense, since they likely were both installed at the same originally. If you wind up replacing a disposer a few months after you've replaced the dishwasher, you'll kick yourself for not taking this advice. You'll only pay one trip charge if you replace the disposer and dishwasher at the same time, and the installation will be straightforward because the installer is already working under the sink, and making a connection to the disposer when installing the dishwasher. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center carries all the best brands of disposers.

Keeping food warm
Warming Drawers have become increasingly popular due to the great convenience of having a device whose primary purpose is to keep cooked food warm until it is ready to be served. Whether cooks need to keep some food warm while other food is being prepared, or whether dinner needs to be kept warm until the entire family is present and accounted for, these devices are a sensible and practical solution to having meals ready to be served when diners are ready to eat. These temperature controlled drawers are designed to install easily in standard cabinetry under a counter or in a full depth wall cabinet along with a wall oven. Another location for warming drawers is in a butlers pantry. Some companies even make warming drawers that are rated for outdoor use, eg. Viking Outdoor. Most full-line appliance manufacturers offer warming drawers that match their ovens and other appliances to complement their appearance in kitchen suites. Warming drawers may have additional features such as automatic shutoff, moisture control, and even slow-cooking (crockpot) capabilities (see KitchenAid). Temperatures range from a low of under 90 degrees for proofing or plate warming, and all the way up to 250 degrees. Are warming drawers a needless frill or luxury? Not necessarily. In addition to the convenience, warming drawers can save time and energy. Customers might also choose a single oven and warming drawer to save money over the cost of a double oven recognizing that the second oven is oven used only to keep -

Cooking with steam
Remember the pressure cooker? Ever had a rice steamer? Cooking with steam has been around for a long time, yet major appliances have begun adding steam features to their ovens and ranges as if they'd discovered something new. Ovens with steam are available in countertop versions, wall ovens, or in ranges. Brands include Sharp, Miele, Thermador, KitchenAid, Gaggenau, Wolf, and Viking. Most people are probably familiar with steamed vegetables or at least steamed rice. In addition to the obvious benefits of the freshness of steamed vegetables, cooking quickly at lower temperatures also helps retain important vitamins and minerals. Proponents of steam cooking also point out the benefit of reduced fat content. Fat helps keep food moist, but that's not necessary when using steam, so less fat and no basting is necessary. Gourmet Chefs will marvel at the ability to use a steam oven to make stunning creme brule without a water bath, or to bake fresh moist salmon avoiding the fish en papillote (parchment) regimen. The rest of us will marvel at how good leftovers taste when they can be re-heated without drying out. For more information on cooking with steam contact the experts at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center in Studio City at 12050 Ventura Boulevard PH 877 696-2982. They've not only got the best selection, but also the lowest prices. -

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
