Whether you are doing a full kitchen remodel or just replacing outdated appliances, a new oven can give your kitchen a brand new look! With so many choices these days among the top appliance brands, how do you know where to start? The best way to hone in on the right oven for your needs is to assess your preferences and then get recommendations from a kitchen appliance expert. Ask yourself these questions:

Do I Want a Conventional or Convection Oven? 
Most American homes have conventional ovens. Conventional ovens allow heat to naturally move through the oven to cook food inside. With a conventional oven, heat movement may be blocked by large pans or placing multiple items on a single rack. This can cause "hot spots" and result in food taking longer to cook.

Convection ovens use fans to circulate heat through the oven to allow for more even temperatures as food cooks. Professional chefs prefer convection ovens because the temperature is more consistent throughout the interior. This temperature consistency leads to more efficient energy usage and faster cooking times. In fact, convection ovens follow the 20/20 rule, which means that they can cook food 20% faster at a temperature 20% lower than conventional ovens. This can result in substantial energy savings.

Would I Prefer a Single or Double Oven? 
Double ovens are becoming more popular, especially in high-end kitchens because of their aesthetic appeal and the flexibility that they allow for while cooking. The great part about having a double oven is that you can cook items simultaneously at different temperatures instead of having to cook one dish and try to keep it warm while you cook something else. People that enjoy baking find double ovens especially helpful because even small temperature differences can make the difference when dealing with delicate baking recipes. Around the holidays you will always find people raving about their double ovens!

Looking to remodel your kitchen but have no idea where to start? Check out some of our ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

<ol>
<li>1. Open up! Get rid of upper cabinets and opt for open shelves instead. This will help a small space feel much larger and provide a place for you to display dishes, vases and other objects of interest. The lowest shelf should be about 18 inches above the counter.</li>
<li>2. This one is a given- upgrade your appliances! Switching from basic black or white to stainless steel makes a world of difference. While you're at it, switch to energy efficient appliances to help with lower the utility bills!</li>
<li>3. Update your cabinet hardware. You can easily add more personality and style by adding upgraded knobs and pulls. This is a simple way to transform your basic cabinets into something special.</li>
<li>4. Paint! A little color goes a long way. Freshen up the walls, cabinets, even ceilings with a fresh coat of paint. This is one of the quickest, most budget-friendly updates there is.</li>
<li>5. Add some backsplash. This is yet another super simple way to transform your kitchen. Choose a tile that matches your style, whether it be classic subway or iridescent mosaic, and add instant flair!</li>
<li>6. Change up the counters! New countertops can change the look of the kitchen completely. Try traditional marble for a more upscale look, or go for soapstone for a more modern look.</li>
<li>7. It's all about the lighting! Brighten up your room with new lighting fixtures. Large florescent bulbs can look very harsh. Try smaller ceiling lights, mini pendants and under-cabinet lighting that you can control with dimmers.</li>
<li>8. Re-think your sink! Larger, apron front sinks are becoming more and more popular. A more spacious sink will come in handy more often than you may think! Top it off with a nice, new faucet.</li>
<li>9. Chalk it up! Create a chalkboard wall in your kitchen to keep track of grocery lists and weekly menus.</li>
<li>10. Don't forget the floor! If you aren't a fan of simple tiled kitchen floors, consider wood paneling or even stained concrete floors.</li>
</ol>

Laundry rooms tend to lean towards the smaller side, so we know space can be very precious. And not only is your space precious, but so is your time.

Learn to work with the space you’re given. Whether you have a tiny nook, or if you’re lucky enough to have a spacious laundry room, make sure you utilize every inch of space. Keep your workspace simple and avoid clutter. A built-in shelf over the washer and dryer can serve as a folding area. 

If you do have the space, consider adding a storage island. You can conceal your laundry baskets in compartments this way, and use the counter top as a folding area. You can also keep baskets holding your laundry detergent, cleaning supplies and other products out of site and contained within this island. You may want to keep all of your clothing care supplies here- such as sewing kits, stain kits and shoe care kits. A small mason jar can serve as a holder of loose change and buttons. If you don’t have the space for an island, you could use a smaller cart instead. Choose one with wheels to allow for mobility around your laundry room.

If you’re tight on space, you may want to consider using canvas bags rather than baskets. You can use one for laundry, and one for dry cleaning. This will help but out the sorting process later on and will make transport much easier.

</div>
</div>

One way to help save time is to create a stain chart. Knowing how to attack a spot before it sets in can be a fabric life saver! There are many different types of stains and many different types of preferred cleaning methods. To help with this, create a chart listing the best way to handle each type of stain you may encounter. Hang it on the wall in the laundry room, so you can easily refer to it when needed.

Try adding a drying bar to your laundry room. You can use a bath-towel holder or curtain rod mounted underneath a shelf to hang a row of shirts that have a tendency to shrink. This can also help save time when ironing, as you can hang your pressed garments after you’re through.

One last tip to help make your load a little lighter- whistle while you work! Music will help the time fly by and make doing laundry feel less like a chore! A Bluetooth speaker is small and portable, making it perfect for any space!

Laundry Room Organizing Tips

Tips for the home chef buying kitchen appliances.

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2014/kitchen-appl-tips.png" alt="kitchen-appl-tips.png" width="100%" />

 
Selecting appliances can be very time consuming. After all, there’s no point in spending hours preparing a meal if your oven won’t cook it properly. Questions about choosing the right oven, stovetop, vent hood and more? Search no further!

Don’t have enough space for a side-by-side fridge? Try a pair of freezer drawers in your kitchen island. They aren’t as deep as the drawer on a bottom-mounted freezer-refrigerator unit, but pairing them up means will give you ample space for any large meals you prepare ahead of time and freeze.

What’s a good guideline for BTUs? This is a case where more is not necessarily better. Unlike restaurant chefs, who require a lot of power on every burner for plenty of high-heat cooking, you’re more likely to want a wide variety of heat options for cooking all the different components of your meal.

Pay attention to the range of BTUs among all the burners. You’ll want some burners that get down to a low simmer of about 3,000 BTUs and perhaps one burner that gets all the way up to 12,000 for boiling a large pot of pasta or stock.

Do I really need a double oven? If you like to bake or entertain, then yes, a double oven is a worthwhile investment. But if you have a small family and don’t have people over very often, you can likely make do with a single oven and a microwave convection oven.

Will I ever use a warming drawer? Yes! You’ll use it to warm plates before serving family-style sides. You’ll use it to keep the kids’ breakfast hot when they take forever to shower in the morning. However, if space was a challenge, a warming drawer might not make sense. You could also choose a large microwave with a keep-warm function. 

How high should my vent hood be? If you sear meat often, you may be wary of placing it on the high side. However, sometimes the manufacturer may suggest a height that’s too low for you. The wider your vent hood is than your range, the higher you are able to place it. Ideally, the good should be 6 inches wider than the range.

A Cook’s Tips for Buying Kitchen Appliances

Tips for messy cooks to help keep the kitchen organized.

Enthusiasm for cooking can sometimes come with a price- an unruly mess! These tips will help keep your kitchen looking tidy no matter what your cooking style is, but especially if you are not the clean-as-you-go type! 


<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2014/messy-cooks.jpg?w=700" alt="" />

 

1. Block the view. If you can't avoid making a mess while you cook, you can at least shield it from guests. A two-tier island or peninsula, with the back higher than the front, screens flotsam from those seated opposite the cook. 
2. Build in trash receptacles. Having a spot where you can sweep away waste and compost as you go is a huge part of keeping counters tidy. You can install trash bins in your cabinetry to keep an unsightly trash can out of site. 
3. Choose an extra-large sink. As cooking progresses, dirty dishes mount. An oversize sink can keep them below eye level. Apron-front and single-bowl models work especially well. If you like the industrial look, you could even choose a freestanding, stainless steel restaurant-style sink. 
4. Build in a prep sink. If your kitchen has the space, try a dedicated prep sink to keep eggshells, vegetable peelings and more out of the main cooking area. 
5. Add baskets galore. Jars and boxes don't always get returned to their proper homes right away. Having a row of baskets to toss things into helps to keep the kitchen neat. You can put them in a pantry, on open counter space, or on built-in or freestanding shelves. 
6. Store utensils in crocks. Not only do crocks keep wooden spoons, tongs and spatulas tidy, but they also keep tools close at hand so they're a cinch to grab when you need them. Of course, you could always take it one step further: built-in receptacles in a pullout drawer. 
7. Double up on dishwashers. Ample dishwasher space means you can tuck dirty dishes in as you go. Modular and flexible, dishwasher drawers work well near the main sink or prep sink. 
8. Slip in a portable island. Messy cooks often lack enough counter space for spreading out. A small island on casters can be amazingly effective at extending the work area.

Kitchen Organizing Ideas for Messy Cooks

Gas, Electric and Induction Cooktops – Which is best for your kitchen?

<div class="col2-set">
<div class="col-1">
Having a cooktop that is separate from your oven allows for greater flexibility when working in the kitchen. Some research must be done when choosing the right cooktop for you. Gas and electric have long been the two standard offerings, but now induction or radiant heat options are becoming popular. You can also look for different sizes, from compact 30-inch ranges to ones that are 48 inches or larger. You can even install individual modular cooktops that allow you to customize your setup or create a separate area for steaming food or cooking with a wok. 

Induction and radiant electric cooktops. It’s quite difficult to tell the difference between an induction cooktop and a radiant electric cooktop just by looking at them. Both have sleek ceramic glass surfaces rather than exposed coil rings.

The main difference between the two is how they provide heat. Circles marking the location of the "burners" are usually found on both induction and radiant cooktops, although there are sleek options in which the black ceramic glass appears to have no markings at all. An induction cooktop uses an electromagnetic field that heats the cooking vessel rather than the cooktop itself. It heats up instantly and provides very precise temperature control. However, Induction-compatible cookware is typically needed. A radiant cooktop heats and cools down gradually. It does not require specialized cookware. 
</div>
<div class="col-2">
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2014/kitchen-cooktop1.png" alt="ALT-TEXT-HERE" style="width:100%" />
</div>

</div>


<div class="col2-set">
<div class="col-1">
Gas cooktops. Traditional gas cooktops are preferred by most people. Having a visible flame allows for better heat control.

Drop-in gas cooktops. Drop-in gas cooktops sit on top of the counter. Most have sealed burners and aren't as powerful as their range-top alternatives.

Gas range tops. A gas range top differs from a drop-in cooktop in that it looks like a range that is missing the oven. They traditionally have control knobs on the front apron rather than on top. Gas range tops have more BTUs than a gas cooktop option. Range tops typically have four burners, just like a standard range does, while larger sizes offer more options, such as griddles and grills. These units often offer a specific simmer burner as well.

</div>
<div class="col-2">

</div>

</div>

Modular cooktops. Independent, single-function cooktops are wonderful for small kitchens and allow for more flexibility in a larger kitchen. Options include standard gas burners, a wok cooker, grills, induction burners and steamers. You can combine independent cooktops to create your own custom large-scale cooktop or separate the different elements into independent cooking stations. A single countertop steamer is very popular with those looking for healthy cooking options. A separate steamer, grill or induction cooktop in addition to a traditional gas range is many a home cook’s ultimate set up.
