Summer Barbecue Brush-Ups for “Sure-Fire” Safety

June 29th, 2006
MMMM BBQ! Whether you barbecue meat, veggies, or both… here is some good information:

Summer Barbecue Brush-Ups for “Sure-Fire” Safety

At this time of year, there’s no shortage of advice on the refrigeration and handling of uncooked meat, fish, and other perishables, but the most basic of barbecuing maintenance and safety tips are often neglected:

- Check all barbecue fittings and connections, to ensure they do not leak. - Lift your barbecue hood when you add and ignite fuel. - If you have a gas burner with flare-ups or hot spots, ensure it isn’t clogged and the tubes aren’t kinked. - Store all gas tanks upright outdoors, away from hot sun.

How to Choose a New Microwave Oven

June 20th, 2006
If you are in the market for a microwave oven, here are a few “hot buttons” to consider…

1)Most microwave ovens operate at 700-1000 watts: the more power, the less cooking time required. 2)There are three styles to consider: countertop, under-cabinet models or built-in units. 3)Under-cabinet models usually have more features, such as convection cooking or browning options. 4)Countertop models tend to be more compact, with smaller capacity and fewer touch-pad programs. 5)Countertop models may offer more versatility. Since microwaves are not typically required to match existing appliances, they can be taken with you in the event of a future move.
