My Appliance Broke Down! Help!!!

Posted on by appliances

It never happens at a convenient time (if such a time exists.)

When a major appliance, such as a refrigerator, oven, or washer, breaks down, it always seems to occur in a bad spot.

Maybe relatives have come down to visit for a few days.

Perhaps your family is hosting Christmas this year.

Or maybe a vital piece of household equipment fails right before you plan to leave on a trip.

At times like these, you forget all about the convenience it offers the rest of the time. You just want your appliance to work again.

The Frustration

Broken appliances cause both hassle and havoc. When you lose a refrigerator, you must figure out what to do to keep food from spoiling. A malfunctioning stove and oven can limit your cooking options to microwaves and outdoor barbeques.

Making the Switch to a Steam Oven

Posted on by appliances

What is a Steam Oven?

The newest craze in healthy cooking would have to be the not so humble steam oven.  But what is a steam oven?  Well,  it’s just that – an oven that cooks with steam.  Some use steam entirely whilst others work in combination with the usual convection style of cooking.  There are also ovens that are ‘steam assisted’ but are actually still a normal convection oven.

How do you use a steam oven?

You can do almost all of the usual cooking you would normally use your oven for including baking, roasting and grilling.  The controls are fairly similar and they still use electric power.  If you use the steam only functions or ovens then you’re not going to get the brown colour you’d normally expect when using traditional ovens.
