Sizzling Summer Days | Staycation in your Backyard

We have noticed in the past year more people are deciding to remodel instead of build, make their own vacation spot in their backyard, and enjoy the outdoors. One addition that people have started adding on is an outdoor kitchen. Maybe you already have that swimming pool, beautiful new patio, or gorgeous green landscaped yard. The next step could be a fabulous outdoor kitchen to pull everything together. Outdoor kitchens can be as simple as a grill or as extravagant as the setup in the picture above by Viking Outdoor Appliances. Remember when you are planning your outdoor kitchen to make sure you add all the essentials you like to use for example of course the Grill, a side gas burner for cooking, refrigerator, warming drawer, sink, icemaker & storage. As we see new things change every year like cars and computers, we also see these same changes in the appliance industry. The days of just a charcoal grill sitting in your backyard is no longer the only option.

The layout of an outdoor kitchen is also very important. You want to make sure the grill is your center piece and then everything else should be placed around the grill. You will need a place for preparation of your food so some nice counter space for slicing, chopping and dicing should be close to your grill. Along with storage for your utensils, and if you decided on a warming drawer this should also be placed close by. Across from your Grill would be a great place to  put your refrigerator, icemaker sink and other storage cabinets.



Another great addition to your grill could be the Viking Built-in Refreshment Center pictured above. This center has everything you need for entertaining your guest outdoors in luxury with a cutting board, sink, faucet, bottle opener, bottle bath, ice bin, condiment trays, and cabinet space. You can also customize your kitchen center by adding refrigerator/freezer drawers, icemakers, etc. If you are interested give one of our sales specialist a call to help you design that stellar show kitchen in your backyard!

Kitchen Appliances to Simplify Your Life!!

Kitchen designs for new homes and remodels continue to change. In the Appliance industry we are noticing that it is not only the Professional Cook that is building these kitchens but also the people who just Love to Cook!! Here are a few appliances that are starting to show up in these homes. If you are remodeling or building it may be something for you to think about.

Sharps Steam Oven and Microwave Drawer

Today, more and more people want to have a healthy lifestyle, one that includes healthy eating and food preparation. Sharp's new multi-purpose oven offers a unique combo of the healthiest ways to cook all in one appliance: SuperSteam Convection, Steam, Convection and Microwave. This means you can use it for traditional steaming, microwaving, or you can use the SuperSteam Oven to bake or roast. It can help you change the way you eat by changing the way you cook. Sharp also designed a perfect match with their Microwave Drawer or Warming Drawer. The Microwave drawer and Warming Drawer can be installed under any cabinet or island to save room and add convenience.



Next, Refrigerator and Freezer Towers by Thermador

When you are designing your kitchen sometimes you may need more refrigeration room or maybe you need more freezer room. The design of your kitchen will not allow you to add two refrigerators without interrupting the other appliances. Now there is a solution with Towers! You can purchase Refrigerators, Freezers or even Wine Cellar Towers in sizes ranging anywhere from 18" wide to 30" wide which allows you to place them either beside each other or on completely separate walls from each other. This helps make your kitchen an easy flowing area for cooking and entertaining. A wonderful addition to the refrigeration family!



Last, but not least is the Dishwasher not one but two. Yes, the past couple years Designers and Architects have been asked to add these to the kitchen design. Most of the time you will see dishwashers added to both sides of the sink for easy loading and unloading.



A top dishwasher on the market right now for quietness, aesthetics, and dependability is the Bosch Integra 800 Series. This dishwasher is the quietest and most energy-efficient dishwasher available in the US. Some of the convenience features include top and bottom racks are adjustable to accommodate dishes of all shapes and sizes, for small loads a special half-load cycle washer just the top or bottom rack, the Ecosense wash cycle uses a sensor to determine how dirty your dishes are and then decides if a second fresh washer fill is needed, Foldable tines (which collapse to make room for casserole dishes), a delay start, quick wash cycle and cup shelf add to flexibility. For added safety, this dishwasher features does not have an exposed heating element and its door is designed to stay in position when it is open more than 10 degrees. This dishwasher can reach temps of up to 160 degrees by having the water pass through a heating chamber. This model is very quiet because of its sound insulation. The Bosch also dries dishes in an unusual way. It doesn't have a heated-dry cycle, it recycle the heat from the hot water used in cleaning. The condensation is then drained, and you never have steam when you open the door after a load. This dishwasher is Energy star rated and has a two year warranty on parts and labor and a lifetime warranty against rust in the stainless-steel tub. You can also purchase an extended warranty that will cover it for a full 5 years. Sunrise Appliance does not sub-contract any of our service out. It is all done by our Sunrise Certified Technicians.
