How to Clean Your Dishwasher

Got Gunk?  Here is how to clean your Dishwasher.

The idea of cleaning a dishwasher seems silly, why clean a product that's sole purpose is to clean items?
Well, if you think of a Vacuum cleaner, it does an excellent job of cleaning up messes.  But if you do not clean and maintain your vacuum the performance can be compromised, same with your dishwasher.
If you do not clean out the filter, or take the wash arm off and clean around the macerator the performance of the dishwasher can be compromised.
Buildup of soap scum, food particles, grease, and hard water deposits can collect and make the dishwasher work harder than it should and therefore could cause issues down the road. With a new dishwasher, it is even more important.  The volume of water used now is a fraction of what it was in the past, making it less likely to rinse away the gunk that builds up.  A little cleaning can help keep your dishwasher working its best for years to come.

Why Cook with Convection Ovens?

Convection ovens are the most flexible oven in the marketplace today. 

They are more than just ideal for cooking. You have so many more cooking options such as convection warming, roasting, re-heating, baking and more. No matter what you are cooking whether you’re roasting a turkey or baking croissants, convection ovens cook/bake more evenly and thoroughly than the conventional oven.

Why cook with Convection Ovens

With convection cooking, you have the convenience of being able to place several trays of foods in the oven at the same time and get even results on everything. You also don’t have to worry about the transfer of flavours from other foods.  You can cook salmon and apple pie at the same time with confidence. Convection cooking can roast, brown and crisp food more efficiently than a conventional oven but with the speed of a microwave. Convection cooking also reduces food shrinkage. Anything that you have cooked in a conventional oven can also be cooked in a convection oven but with much better results.

Step by Step Use of the Urban Cultivator- Intro

When Mr. Barber told us about the Urban Cultivator and asked whether we thought Barber and Haskill should carry it, I was in favour from the first moment.

But I am a happy gardener;  I love my
garden and back yard and would spend all my time there except for bills that need to be paid.

This device is an indoor garden complete with lights and irrigation.  It is the size of a dishwasher that you can install in your kitchen or have as a portable unit.

This item was featured on the CBC television show Dragons Den a few years ago. these “hippies” as some reviewers called them got their deal and now The Urban Cultivator is available at select retailers across Canada.    I  was an avid Dragons Den follower for years but had missed the original pitch; it is on youtube, and it is worth watching in my opinion.    Is there anyone like Kevin ?????
