What is your favorite kitchen appliance?

Q. What is your favorite kitchen appliance, utensil etc? It can be anything big or small.

A. bullet

Best place to shop for red kitchen appliances?
Q. My husband and I are moving into a new house and I want to do our kitchen in red. Does anybody have suggestions on the best places to buy red kitchen appliances?

A. Amazon and eBay are good for small appliances, and the reviews can be really helpful. But for bigger red kitchen appliances you might want to check out places like Sears, Home Depot, etc. where you'll actually have a chance to see and use the appliance before buying. A site I like that highlights some nice smaller items is http://www.redkitchenstuff.com/.

It can also be risky to buy big appliances online because it they're damaged during shipping it's a pain trying to get a replacement/refund.

Are used furniture and kitchen appliances safe to buy on Craigslist?
Q. I know from news reports that people have been murdered when meeting in person to buy or sell personal electronics (iPhones, iPods, etc.). But is it any safer to meet strangers when trying to buy furniture and kitchen appliances on Craigslist?

A. I would be more concerned with insect infestation. Regardless, never go alone. Take a can of pepper spray. Know the neighborhood.

I'm remodeling my kitchen and need a great wall oven?

Q. I'm looking at Sears, but I am overwhelmed with all the brands and choices. Which brand(s) has the best wall 30" ovens? I'm also looking for a great microwave to go above it. I'd like to get some good prices as well.

A. GE makes good appliances. Their industrial brand is GE Monogram and their prosumer brand is GE Profile. For the microwave, check out the GE's Advantium microwaves. They make Monogram and Profile versions. The Advantium combines a microwave with a halogen light for crisping and a true convection oven. One example of how you can use it is for cooking frozen chicken fingers. The microwaves cook the inside of the chicken while the halogen light crisps the outside. It also has smart reheat modes. Just check it out, you will love its features.

Refinishing Electric Stove Backguard?
Q. So in the midst of cleaning the kitchen, my girlfriend wanted to use Easy Off to clean the backguard of our stove in order to degrease it. I told her we shouldn't just in case it ruined it, since the backguard is in plain view. Well she did it, and it ruined it.

The part that is ruined is the top part of the backguard, so not the part that houses the switches to the burners, but the top cover of it. I believe the material is aluminum and used to have a gloss black finish. Now its got a matte dark grey color to it. Is there a kind of paint or polish I can use to restore glossy black finish?

A. Talk to someone in an appliance store. You might be able to get it painted. Tell your girlfriend - When in doubt, read the instructions!

Moving into first apartment, tips!?
Q. Hi!
My partner and I are moving into our first apartment from living with my parent.
The apartment comes with nothing, no fridge, cooker, washer or furniture.

What is the best way to get everything done? Which order do we buy things in, bed, fridge, cooker etc?
Can it all be arranged to arrive on a Saturday so we are both there?

Does anyone have any tips for us as we've never done this before!

Thanks :)
Oh, also, when do I need to contact utilities and broadband providers etc?

A. First of all the landlord must supply you with a fridge, stove & sometimes washing machine unless you have purchased the house yourself and you own it, then yes its your responsibility. Anyways the first thing you will need to purchase is a bed. I would then purchase all the kitchen appliances fridge, stove, cooking utensils, kitchen appliances. I would then buy a T.V as well as couches and all other living room accessories. You should probably also get a dresser and night stands for your bedroom and a dining table would be suitable. That covered since you are moving in on Saturday I would have already contacted your necessary utilities services. All you will have to do is inform them with the date your moving in as well as your information and new address. Do this immediately so if they need to come into the apartment to set up anything then they can set up a time on the saturday and you wont be left days without cable etc. Other then that, good luck.

Does anyone know the song in the mastercard commercial with the kitchen appliances?

Q. The commercial is called "Dinner Out" and it's one of the new Mastercard commercials. It has a fancy lookin' couple leave and then the kitchen appliances have a little party with this really neat song playing in the background and I would like to know what it is.

A. Actually it is called Via con me, not viE con me. Great song!

where do you buy your kitchen appliances?
Q. I'm buying a whole suite of kitchen appliances (fridge, gas range, micro wave and dishwasher). I'm likely going to choos either LG, GE Profile or Whirlpool Gold. Any good suggestions on where to go? I'm currently looking at Lowes. Best Buy appears to be a little overpriced at the moment.

A. I have bought some things (deep freeze, sewing machine.. etc) at Sears. I am presently investigating prices at Sears, the Bay (Canada only I think), The Brick, Future shop, Home Depot, Rona, Best Buy and Ikea. So far Ikea and Sears are coming out ahead although Home Depot does have some good sales in their stores sometimes (If they are overstocked in something, or an item is discontinued, you can pick up those items for quite cheap. You have to visit the individual stores though). There is a website that actually tells you which brand names are built by which company.. I know 'Kenmore' appliances are built by a number of different manufacturers! so if you really want a whirlpool, but at a cheaper price.. buy a Kenmore with certain numbers in the model #. See the link below.

Do electrical kitchen appliances need replacing/checking after a while?

Q. I've been using the same kitchen appliances for about 6 years or so. One thing that came to mind; do ovens (both conventional kitchen ovens and microwave ovens) deteriorate enough over long periods of time to warrant checking or replacing for safety concerns?

And what about fridges (refrigerators for you Americans) and freezers? From my limited knowledge there are no real hazards, but I know little about how they work.

A. It is a good idea to check the operation of an oven and a refrigerator every now and then with an accurate thermometer.

Refrigerators operate on freon to cool them. And, if the refrigerator and/or freezer won't get down to the correct temperature (35F for the refrigerator and about 0F for the freezer), this could be an indication of the freon leaking out, the compressor not running as efficiently, the door seals wearing out, the temperature sensors wearing out, etc.

Same thing with an oven. If you do a lot of cooking and baking, it's a good idea to always have a thermometer in the oven to verify the interior temperature (you can get one at any cooking supply store). Even brand new ovens may not accurately maintain the selected temperature for a variety of reasons. And, the only way to know that the temperature is correct is to measure it with a thermometer. If the oven is older and can't maintain the correct temperature, this could be an indication of a temperature sensor going bad, a temperature control circuit getting tired, or even a problem with a burner (especially in a gas oven).

Beyond that, appliances usually work just fine for years, and then one day just fail. And, there's no real preventative maintenance you can do to avoid it, other than keeping them clear and using them in accordance with the operating instructions that came with them.
