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………

 click on the picture to listen to the theme song

 Trivia to test how groovy your knowledge is……..

1.The Brady’s lived at?

2.The only Brady kid to appear in every episode?

3. Name only three cast members to appear in all 117 episodes of the series?

Why you need a range hood

Why you need a Range Hood

 

  If you don’t have a ventilation fan above your cook top that vents to the outside, you’ll want a range hood with a ventilation fan built in. Why?  Even if you don’t find some cooking odors objectionable, vaporized grease can damage your beautiful new kitchen cabinets. Imagine the smell coming off of your favorite fish dish building up in your furniture and draperies!  NO THANKS….     The solution is a range hood that will remove all the cooking grease and smoke to the outside of your home.  To determine the proper power of ventilation needed to prevent a greasy smelly home please read on……

Induction cooking

If you havent heard of induction cooking this video is worth watching.

This is a great cooktop option for anyone serious about cooktop performance.

This cooktop will actually out perform a gas cooktop.

PRO RANGE

The range is the most common item that you will want to bust your appliance budget on.

Once you see a 36″ or a 48″ range with a built in griddle and 4 or 6  burners you will quickly consult your design to see if it will fit in your plan.

A larger range is ideal for those cooks who prepare a variety of courses at once. Choose between multiple burner configurations and even add a griddle, grill or wok burner The choice is yours.These pro ranges allow for high and low performance on all burners allowing you to go from boil to simmer without switching burners.

Try one of these brands and links for a little taste of some of the pro range options availible in the industry.
