Refrigerator Style Comparisons


One of the great dilemmas people face when buying a new refrigerator is - 


which style should you buy?

There are many options available to you, but before selecting a refrigerator that has the look you like, you have to make sure it’s going to fit in your kitchen.

The space you have to work with will often limit your style considerations. So, it is important to know what the height, width and depth of the space you have available for your new refrigerator is before you start shopping. Once you have determined your size requirements, it’s time to look at some of your choices.

There are many sizes and styles available to choose from, so to save you some time, I've narrowed it down to the four most popular models:

The French Door

The French Door is the fastest growing style we sell at Barber and Haskill. It has become very popular and can now be found in multiple sizes. Instead of having a traditional single door, this model has two doors – each half the size of a regular fridge door – with one side opening to the left and the other to the right. The freezer is located at the bottom, below the two French doors.

Here are a few benefits to keep in mind about the French Door model.

Steam Ovens Review

Review of the new 
Bosch Benchmark Steam Convection Oven
 

Bosch has introduced a new and extremely versatile kitchen appliance: The Bosch Benchmark Steam Convection Oven.   The more that I read about the different uses and applications of this product, the more excited I got.
Foods prepared using convection always turn out more moist and juicy.  By introducing steam, food stays closer to its natural state, and it has better flavour, texture and is more nutritious.
One of the things about this appliance that most appeals to me is its versatility: you are going to find many ways to use this oven when it comes to mealtime.  Whether you are a professional level chef or the main cook at home, it’s going to provide unparalleled flexibility for preparing dishes.

    Jenn-Air Slide- In Induction Range


    Review of the New Jenn-Air Slide-In Induction Range


     Jenn-Air has made some big steps this year with the introduction of their new slide-in range line up including the highly anticipated induction range.  It is truly a unique piece.  This front control range will fit a regular freestanding opening without the mess and fuss of adding a trim to the back of the range.  But first let me take a step back and explain induction cooking.

    What is induction cooking?


    • Induction cooking produces the fastest, safest and easiest to clean cooking surface available on the market today.  
    • Induction technology uses the pot as the heat source without heating the glass top directly. This process makes for a very fast and efficient transfer of heat.  
    • The cooking surface under the pot will be only warm after cooking not hot as on a traditional glass surface.
