Summer is officially over, but the end of the vacation season brings the beginning of the holiday season. During the months of October, November, and December families gather to celebrate various holidays. Among all these celebrations there is one commonality: Food. Nothing brings joy to the season better than a holiday feast. Preparing the perfect holiday dinner is crucial, and with the right tools in the kitchen, cooking a delicious holiday meal can be quick and simple. For holiday entrees guaranteed to impress, these three appliances are great additions to any kitchen.
A holiday meal is typically composed of multiple courses, entrees, and sides. Traditional kitchens typically have a single oven in which to cook all of these. Home chefs know quite well the difficulty in preparing a large meal with such limited resources. When dealing with a turkey that needs to bake for hours on end, cooking an outstanding holiday dinner can take up the entire day. A built-in Electrolux Double Wall Oven is a great kitchen upgrade for those who want to make a meal without wasting any time. Electrolux double ovens are packed with useful features such as programmable presets and precision heat settings, but the most useful feature of a double oven is simple: more space. Double ovens give cooks the ability to prepare big meals in half the time, meaning less time spent in the kitchen and more time spent with family.
Now that you have a double oven, the next step is to prevent the cold air from ruining perfectly delectable meals. Even with the new speed boost of the double oven, an entrée can’t be prepared fast enough to keep at the same temperature of side dishes. The solution: The Thermador Convection Warming Drawer. Warming drawers are simple yet effective appliances that keep dishes at a perfect temperature while all culinary duties get finished. The Thermador Convection Warming Drawer is large enough to fit four to six plates, pans or pots. While most warming drawers maintain a consistent temperature, Thermador Warming Drawers have adjustable heat settings.
Depending on the age, size, and power of a current dishwasher it may be time to consider an upgrade. Clean-up is the final step in the meal preparation process, and usually the most overlooked step. People simply don’t like washing dishes. It’s not nearly as enjoyable as eating from them. Still, the dishes must get done, and during the holidays the workload can be tremendous. The lightning-fast, Energy Star compliant Miele Dishwasher could be the saving grace in your kitchen during those holiday clean-ups. Miele dishwashers come in a variety of sizes and offer a plethora of settings and presets, eliminating much of the hassle involved in washing dishes. The Miele G 8050i Dishwasher can handle up to 12 place settings, even china and crystal, so don’t let clean-up put a damper on your holiday entertaining.
