Induction Cooking in Your Kitchen

This entry was posted in Home Remdodeling, Kitchens and tagged Cooking, cooktop, induction, induction cooking, Kitchen, kitchen appliances on April 7, 2017 by Andrew Parsons.

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.

History of the Refrigerator

This entry was posted in Kitchens and tagged fridge, Kitchen, kitchen remodeling, Refrigerator on February 1, 2016 by Andrew Parsons.

History of the Refrigerator When you think kitchens and kitchen appliances, you think refrigerators. While there were working "fridge" models prior to 1913, this is the year when the domestic refrigerator was invented. The inventor was Fred Wolfe. However, the prototype was improved upon the very next year by an engineer named Nathaniel B. Wales. Refrigerators really jumped in popularity in the 1920s after the invention of freon; from there, the General Electric "Monitor Top" refrigerator became the first fridge to see widespread use.

Jason and Neil are always available to answer your questions, if you need them to see something you’re unhappy with they will be there as soon as they can. I feel like I'm the only one they are working with, because they are there when you need them to be. They treat you like a friend and family. It's very comforting.
