WHY DO I NEED A WINE REFRIGERATOR?

Wine, like anything else, changes over time. That’s why it’s important to produce desirable changes and avoid harmful ones. You can do this by controlling the air, temperature, light, vibration, and humidity of the wine.

To ensure proper aging, all wines have air in the bottle to begin with. What’s important is to ensure the cork remains moist so no air is allowed to enter the bottle. That’s why it’s advised to store your wine horizontally and at around 70% humidity to keep the cork moist and from cracking or shrinking.

 If your bottle has a stevlin closure that is for another wine debate…..

Proper temperature is the major factor is ensuring your wine stays drinkable before you open it. The optimum temperature for storing wine is 50 to 55°F.  Many people store their wine in cellars to maintain these temperatures, but, small collections should be kept in wine refrigerators, which can be purchased from JOE MALTASE  at ALBERT LEE APPLIANCE and are availible in many  styles and sizes  to fit your personal taste, space and storage needs. To discuss your wine storage needs and chat about your favorite bottle come in to the store and see me.

Julia Childs test kitchen

 If you are interested in being involved in a scientific study I am meeting with applicants to determine if the simple act of replacing you kitchen appliances improves the overall quality of  the food prepared in this kitchen. This study will determine if  the improved results are due to inspiration brought on by the presence of shinny new appliances or the fact that new appliances are designed to perform at a higher level?

This study is done on a voluntary basis and a positive outcome of the test will require an investment of time, money and a desire to cook.

Please contact Joe for more information at 206 282 2110 ext 1306

Thank you for reading Joes appliance blog  and dont forget to leave you comments and participate in the polls.

Quiet as a whisper!

 Don’t get caught in the dishwasher decibel game. There is a war going on for your hard earned coin and it may end in the last liar winning. There is very little standard for testing the sound output of a dishwasher and while eager to jump on the sub 50 decibel level some company’s are just telling you what you want to hear, or not hear in this case. When talking to your appliance professional ask for the best quality you can buy. Buy a dishwasher based on its rack layout and fit and finish. To get an idea on how loud the dishwasher is put your cell phone inside the dishwsher close the door and have someone call it. Good luck in your appliance shopping and remember never wear black socks with sandals…

TEST DRIVE YOUR NEW KITCHEN

  Have you been thinking about replacing your aging appliance’s?  If you answered yes, then you only need to come visit Joe Maltase at Albert Lee Appliance in Seattle to answer your unanswered appliance questions.  You can experience the difference between baking in a gas oven and an electric oven.   I can help you discover the benefits of cooking healthy in a steam oven or the joy of  fast meal preparation in a speed oven.  Just bring in some cookie dough or ? and we will cook in one of the many live units we have on display. While we debate the differences of a hot cookie out of a gas oven and electric oven I will make you a hot beverage from our Miele built in espresso machine.   After we are done eating a few cookies and drinking  a latte we can turn our chocolate and coffee buzz  toward cook tops.  We can test for speed and simmer difference’s in electric, gas and induction burners.  For a full performance test drive call me to make a showroom appointment and I will make sure you are at least fed cookies and milk.

would you do without your washer and dryer?

 You may not think of your washer and dryer as a necessity but, I doubt you would have a smile on your face after spending your Sunday at the laundry mat. Or for even more fun just imagine the time required to hand wash all your clothes and hang them up  to dry. Its hard enough to find enough time to spend with your family so, consider  replacing that 10 + year old washer and dryer with an energy efficient unit.  Energy efficient units will not only cut down the time you spent doing laundry, these efficient units will also save you $150 or more a year in operating costs. Come down to Albert Lee Appliance  in Seattle and ask for Joe Maltase to show you all the options available like some of the units pictured below.    To contact me email me at JMALTASE@YAHOO.COM

The Brady Bunch kitchen

 If you were a child in the 70’s you have hours of memories in this kitchen waiting for Alice to finish her pot roast.

 If I  had to guess this looks like a Thermador 4 burner cooktop with a built in griddle and a matching Thermador double wall oven. I am Not sure but, I think that’s a built in indoor barbecue grill next to the ovens?

 Do you think this trendy kitchen with its stainless appliances has some type of psychological impact on our desire for stainless appliances?    Did you have a live in maid cooking for you when you were growing up?   Watch an episode on you tube to see more of this kitchen and let me know what you think.  Now that I think about it this kitchen also had an avocado green side by side refrigerator and I think that color will most likely be on back order for a few decades………
