kitchen appliances

Last week I told you about how my dad and I are thinking of purchasing a new oven. The one that currently sits in our kitchen is about 25 years old and it functions fine, but the temperature setting is incorrect and part of the ceiling is falling off. I know nothing about buying ovens, so I asked you to help by researching for a modern oven with convection heating and self cleaning modes. You bookmarked the ovens in the Yum Market on TeamSugar and tagged them with the keywords, New Oven.

There were quite a few options, and while the Siemens Liftmatic Oven that Twinkle discovered is very chic and hip, it won't quite work in our kitchen — the modern lines are a bit too modern and I wonder how the lift system will hold up. However, the GE Built-In Trivection Oven that mellie_608 found should do the trick. Ideally I'd love to get the large double oven, but we'll have to see if we have room. Thanks to everyone who bookmarked! To see the rest of the finds, scroll through below.

Alexis Soyer, a significant chef, humanitarian, and inventor, was born in France on February 4th, 1810. He learned to cook in France, but left for London during the 1830 revolution. While in London, he began work in the renowned kitchen of the Duke of Cambridge.

Soyer was a man with a social conscious and eventually petitioned to work for the Irish government. Leaving his prestigious position behind, he set up kitchens across the nation during the potato famine. Later he was sent to the front lines of the Crimean War where he fed the starving British troops. However his most important, long lasting contribution to the culinary world happened on today's date in 1855. At that time he created and introduced the first portable oven, shown at left, which allowed him to serve the soldiers warm meals on the field. Amazingly, the basic design was still in use by the British Army over a century later during the first Gulf War.

This Instant Noodle Perfecting Timer may be $25 more than the person who lives in instant noodles would like to spend on a gadget, but boy is it eye catching.

Taking inspiration from the USB Java cup warmer and usb heated gadgetry, this Instant Noodle Perfecting LED Count-Down Clock was made to "help you perfect your instant noodle making skill" (really, when did this become a desired ability?) When turned on, the LED light flickers and a final-count down voice will let you know when your meal is ready. It's kitschy, but I say skip the timer and buy yourself a couple sandwiches. You're worth it. $25 from AudioCubes.
