Induction cooking is a two-part system. The first is a coil of copper wire and when the electric current flows through the coil it creates energy. The second part is the pan itself. Not all pans will work on an induction cooktop. Pans that consist of 100% copper, 100% aluminum, or 100% non-magnetic stainless steel will not work. The bottom of the pan must have an iron base in order to work, easiest way of checking is to hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan. With a traditional radiant cooktop, the entire element would heat with the surface glowing red. But not with the induction cooktop, all the electromagnetic energy passes through the cooktop and into the pan which causes the iron molecules to vibrate creating the friction that heats the pan.

The modern home is always evolving. It’s easy to get inspiration, but most homeowners don’t know how to start.

For example, a contemporary design often consists of clean lines, a traditional design often features ornate details and a transitional design combines both worlds. With a design in mind, one can move forward with design trends, such as…

Preparing a Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner
Thanksgiving time is when we gather with family and friends to give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. Giving thanks for many of us also means preparing and enjoying a feast. The kitchen turns into an erupting volcano of aromas, as Thanksgiving dinner is prepared.
If it is your turn to host dinner, then the tasks could be daunting as you plan your menu and settings to suite the occasion.
Here are some tips to help you host the ultimate celebration.
Hanging Pot Rack for Your Kitchen
Hanging pot racks are a great idea for kitchens, especially those kitchens that may not have a lot of cabinet space, or for people who want to reduce the clutter in those cabinets. It can also clear out space in your cabinets to place appliances and specialty items that you use for entertaining. Additionally, it can provide a very aesthetically pleasing focal point in your kitchen. You may see it on televisions in fancy kitchens, the hanging pots that seem incredibly shiny, and you may have been inspired to add one into your kitchen.

Warming drawers can also be used when you have run out of countertop space and need to place food that is ready to serve. Warming drawers have other benefits besides warming food. Warming drawers can also keep food crispy and the right texture until the food is ready to serve.

Chances are your meals have consisted of fast food, frozen meals and several restaurant visits during the duration of the remodel. At this point nothing will satisfy your taste buds more than a home cooked meal. The first meal in your new kitchen should be a celebration. Since celebration is in order the meal should be something truly special. Here are two first meal main courses to consider. Continue reading
