Preparing Your Kitchen for Holiday Cooking
Ensure your appliances are ready for the demands of holiday entertaining.
The holidays put exceptional demands on kitchen appliances. A little preparation prevents disasters when you're hosting family.
Refrigerator Space
Plan refrigerator space early. Clean out old items. Check temperature accuracy with a thermometer. Clean condenser coils so the unit handles the extra door openings.
Oven Calibration
Test your oven temperature with an oven thermometer. Many ovens run hot or cold. If you find significant variance, schedule a calibration before the big day.
Range Check
Test all burners and oven functions. Now is the time to discover a burner that won't light or uneven oven heating - not Thanksgiving morning.
Ice Maker Preparation
Increase ice production a few days early. Many ice makers can be set to produce more. Clean the bin to remove odors that can transfer to ice.
Dishwasher Service
Clean filters and run an empty hot cycle with dishwasher cleaner. Check spray arm rotation. Ensure it can handle post-meal cleanup demands.
Emergency Planning
Have our number handy. We offer emergency service for urgent situations. Better to call at the first sign of trouble than wait until complete failure.
