We loved this in 2015 - Worth sharing againGreat Pork Chop Recipe from True-RefrigerationEnjoy your Upcoming July 4th Celebration from UAKCI just love grilling pork chops, but frankly I'm getting tired of using my tried and true grocery store Montreal Grill Seasoning. After a while everything tastes the same. So, I was delighted when I came across this Pork Chop Rub from our friends at True Refrigeration.They seem to be very dialed in with a rub that's going to add some (not too much) heat, as well as the hearty, earthy espresso/coffee flavor from ground coffee beans. We're going to follow this up with a recipe for a nice side dish that will go perfectly with the chops, so check back at this blog in a couple of days. The side dish recipe is also from True Refrigeration.ESPRESSO-RUBBED PORK RIB CHOPMAKES 4 SERVINGSINGREDIENTS1 tablespoon finely ground coffee or espresso 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper2 teaspoons dark brown sugar 1/8 ground coriander2 teaspoons chili powder 1/8 tablespoon turmeric3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (4) 12 oz. pork rib chops or 4lbs. pork tenderloin or loin1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Kosher salt1/2 teaspoon onion powderINSTRUCTIONS Combine all spices, except the salt, in a mixing bowl to create a dry rub.

This is when we answer the question: Can you save money on appliances during the Memorial Day holiday? The answer is YES. Read below the whys and hows of buying appliances during this time of year. Here are a few tips from blogs from previous years during the Memorial Day Sale periods.Where to buy appliances over the holiday (May 26, 2012)Need a nail? A lightbulb? A tomato plant?We’d recommend that you visit a home improvement place – you know, those guys with the orange aprons.But, if you need a washer/dryer, a refrigerator, a new range…really??? Go to an appliance store. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center has been selling appliances since 1990. They really know this business. AND they have a much better selection of major brands along with terrific prices.Memorial Day Sale on Appliances (May 24, 2016)Can You Save Money on Appliances During Memorial Day?Friends often ask me if they can really save money by buying appliances during sale events. The answer is yes, sometimes. First, assess your situation.Do you need new appliances?Will you be remodeling in the next year or so?Do you have appliances that are nearing the end of their normal lifecycle?Do you have a strong desire for a new appliance that you'd like to treat yourself to?Have you had a run of service calls on one or more appliances?Are your old appliances energy hogs?

Why Buy Appliances on Memorial DayBest Overall Memorial Deals at UAKCI've been around the appliance industry for nearly 40 years. During that time I've had a variety of jobs in sales and marketing with distributors and manufacturers. Along the way, I've taught marketing classes to both undergraduate and MBA students.One area that marketers study is consumer demand. We know, for example, that each year there is a finite number of appliances sold. Annual appliance sales are determined by factors such as new home sales, household creations, appliance replacement cycles (lifespans), new appliance innovations eg. microwave ovens, and household incomes.However, holiday appliance sales, do not fit this rational model. Buying an appliance because you have a 3 day weekend is not rational. Or so, I thought. Study after study, shows that appliance sales dramatically spike during holidays. In fact, one of the biggest appliance sales weekends of the year is coming up. Memorial Day. It's not because people get married, have kids, or get raises on holiday weekends that appliance sales spike. It's certainly not because appliances tend to break down on holidays. It's because manufacturers and big retailers promote heavily with big discounts centered around holidays. Consumers like to save money. Voilà! Lot's of appliances get sold during the Memorial Day holiday period.Here are examples of two great deals available at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center during the 2017 Memorial Day Sale. click on photos below for details You may have heard the story of the youngster who asked the old

3 Gift Ideas for MomYes you can give her an appliance for Mother's DayLet's get that old myth out of the way. IT IS OK TO GIVE AN APPLIANCE FOR MOTHER'S DAY! I was once told that a new dishwasher was just not romantic, and therefore inappropriate for Mother's Day. Nonsense.If you have an old broken down appliance, that she's been complaining about forever, there's no better time to replace it than now...Mother's Day. She'll be delighted. You might want to include a bouquet of roses or a box of chocolates, but the new appliance will be what makes the day really special.Here are three thoughts about what appliance you might want to consider: Buy something that is needed. If the old dryer shakes and rattles and is on its last legs (or leg), then it makes sense to replace it. Why buy something different, when that's what she really needs and wants? Buy something really special. If your thinking a new dishwasher would be great, but you really want to make an impression, and you're in a position to splurge consider one of the luxury European brands such as an Asko or Miele. Buy something unexpected. Does she like coffee? A new built-in coffee maker would be just the thing. Or, one of my personal favorites: a countertop convection oven from Wolf. What a great Mother's Day gift! Where could you go to find all of these neat gifts? Well, Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center, of course. Call or
