Kitchen

Summer’s fresh fruits and vegetables are available now, and maybe you’re looking for a way to keep those garden-fresh flavors longer. As Consumer Reports explains, a vacuum sealer can extend freshness and save you money when you’re freezing food.

Most home chefs know that you need a good nonstick pan in your collection of kitchen tools. They’re great for everything from eggs to pancakes to grilled cheese sandwiches. But they work only if the coating is in good shape.

Frozen foods like mozzarella sticks, fries, chicken nuggets and vegetables are transformed in the air fryer.

The woman’s stove wouldn’t heat up when she was trying to make pies on Thanksgiving. NBC 7’s Consumer Bob saved the day because that’s what he does. Also because he loves pie.

The holiday season is a busy time in the kitchen, until your oven stops working. When a Borrego Springs woman tried to put in some Thanksgiving pies, she found out her brand new electric range was broken.

Remember the holidays? Maybe you did lots of baking and roasting, perhaps even a turkey or two. Now raise your hand if you’ve cleaned your oven since then. Or since LAST Thanksgiving, for that matter.
