High Tech Kitchen

The kitchen has long been the gathering place in my home for many family get togethers. Regardless of ample seating in other parts of the house, for some odd reason, when we all get together, it seems that everyone migrates to the kitchen to carry on our conversation, no matter how big or small the space.

In fact, many conversations were spawned by the collage of pictures on my refrigerator or the new magnets displayed. While my spouse thought this to be somewhat of a tacky display, this magnetic display tradition ended when we purchased a new home that came with a stainless steel refrigerator. No magnets sticking to that.

Kitchens today are being designed as the newest entertainment centers with many housing under-the-counter DVD players, TV’s and MP3 players (more…)

Stop Fire Before It Starts

A fire in a restaurant will shut you down, at least temporarily, but by following some safety procedures, you can avoid a dangerous and costly disaster. Having well-designed fire suppression equipment is a must for a restaurant, so consider calling commercial ventilation contractors Minneapolis to discuss plans.

Keep it Clean and Neat

A kitchen is supposed to be clean, but things can get messy during peak serving and cooking times. Be sure to keep areas around fryers and grills free of clutter and wipe them down often to reduce grease build-up. Also, make sure that the fryer oil is replaced regularly and that used oil is not kept in the kitchen. In the event of a fire, the oil could easily contribute to an even bigger blaze. Over-heated oil in fryers is one of the most common culprits when it comes to kitchen fires. Install equipment that shuts down automatically when the oil gets too hot. (more…)

An Efficient Central Heating System For Your Home

Keeping warm in our homes is a must, whether it uses electrical, or gas central heating. For most people gas is unavailable in their houses so the only alternative is electricity. They can also use portable heating units in each room but another alternative is a central heating system that uses boilers to re-circulated and heat water to provide central heating.

Central heating can also be installed in any kinds of places such as rural houses, multi-floored buildings, as well as new housing projects. Almost any place that has gas service can use this heating system.

Such heating products can be installed in single or even multiple units, as you can find in many apartment buildings. These central heating units are usually installed with thermostat control and circulating pumps so the perfect temperature can be kept at each room. (more…)
