Induction Cooking Is The Best Cooking Yet!

Being touted as the new must-have for the kitchen, induction cooktops have been around since the 70’s. First started in Europe and Asia, more than thirty years ago, this type of cooking is becoming popular once again.

Able to boil a full pot of water in less than 90 seconds, induction technology can save mounds of time in the kitchen and will make any kitchen look beautiful to boot!

Magnetic induction may just be the best technology to hit the kitchen since the microwave oven. In the past few years this style of cooktop, which turns magnetic energy into heat, has proved itself a worthy competitor to the traditional choices – gas and electric.

And while induction has only recently joined the list of options, some experts already predict it will soon become an essential value-adding addition for kitchen remodels.

After all, it’s faster, safer and more efficient than anything before.

I believe Electrolux has manufactured the best one yet. Sold at Feder’s Distributors, get free shipping anywhere in the United States now through the end of June. Mention this story in your comments when buying online.

Scott Dawson’s A/C Car

HOUSTON — Scott Dawson, a civil engineering graduate from the University of Houston, decided after three years of driving around Houston without air conditioning in his car was long enough. So instead of spending $1,200 to fix the air conditioning on a car he planned on getting rid of soon, he bolted a home window A/C unit to the roof and wired it to the car.

Stainless Steel v. White Appliances

Most of us in the appliance business figured it was a fad a couple of years back. But now, homeowners are realizing that white appliances (or other colors for that matter) make their kitchen more unique than if they were to uses stainless steel appliances.

Emiril and Wolfgang popularized big, bulky, professional-style stainless-steel. Viewers want what the pros have.

Now, according to Domino Magazine, the new stainless steel is… well… white.
