Speed Cooking
Ovens that Cook FastUAKC can put your cooking on the fast trackThere has been a lot of development in ovens that cook quickly. Thanks to convection cooking, there's no more waiting all day for the turkey to cook. With microwave ovens many foods can be reheated in just a couple of minutes. With the advanced technology included in GE's Advantium and Viking's TurboChef, the disadvantages of traditional microwave cooking go away, but the food is still cooking at a lightning fast speed. Steam cooking has begun to make a big mark in speed cooking not just because of its speed, but because it preserves foods nutrients, flavor, and color.Let's review a few of the ovens that will cook your food faster.Thermador Steam OvenThermador is a pioneer in this category, while many others have joined in with a variety of steam options. Thermador remains a standout. Here's a quick look at the Thermador steam/convection oven.

Terrific Commander's Palace Souffle' Recipe from Jenn-Air
Commander's Palace Soufflé RecipePrepared in Jenn-Air OvenCommander’s Palace in New Orleans opened in 1880. It soon became a New Orleans institution and then an American one.In almost a century and a half, the generations of staff at Commander’s have developed, honed, and perfected many recipes. Want the best Bloody Mary in America? Go to Commander’s where you can enjoy that beverage in their gracious restaurant setting.After your meal, surely you must sample the best of their desserts, this magnificent bread pudding. Actually, you don’t have to go to New Orleans. You can make this opulent treat right at home.The preparation requires a double-dip in your oven: first baking a bread pudding, then combining it with meringue for a second quick but definitive round of heat.But what kind of heat? The perfect meringues you see were baked in our Jenn-Air® Steam and Convection Oven. For this dessert, you don’t want the steam feature for the meringue, but you do want that convection heat, driven by a powerful fan system, generating a grand meringue finale. A Parisian pastry chef could do no better. The combination of this recipe and the Jenn-Air® oven, with its powerful flow of uniform heat, is deliciously formidable.The recipe title and the recipe shown below mention a whiskey sauce. This dessert is rich enough that you can skip the sauce which is quite whiskey intense. A trait of New Orleans, I suppose. You can reduce the amount -

New - Energy Star Dryers
Now Available For the First Time Energy Star Dryers It's curious that we've had Energy Star appliances for decades, yet one of the highest energy use appliances, household dryers, have never before had energy star ratings. We're told that there just wasn't much difference in energy use among dryer brands or models so there was no reason to rate them. Well, that has changed and the good news for you is that you can save money by buying an Energy Star dryer. Here are some of the brands available at UAKC that offer energy star models: Bosch GE LG Maytag Speed Queen Samsung Whirlpool We're going to feature one of the most popular, iconic brands, Maytag, below: MAXIMA® FRONT LOAD STEAM ELECTRIC DRYERThis Maytag Maxima has a giant 7.3 cu. ft. drum with space to dry even your largest loads quickly and evenly.

Recipe of the Month
Greek Turkey Burgers with Tzatziki Coleslaw I was given this recipe by the local Miele Chef a couple of years ago, at an event in Phoenix. The burgers were just outstanding. Of course, it's just not Greek if you don't have Tzatziki to accompany your burgers. The recipe calls for using the Miele Combi-Steam Oven. If you don't have a steam combi oven, you'll want to run out and get one, or develop a work around. Seriously, the steam really helps with keeping the burgers moist throughout, and evenly cooked without burning. So what you need to do without the steam combi oven is to cook a little longer in a baking dish with a little water and place a lid on the top (leave an opening). Check frequently, keep it moist and make sure you get the internal 165 temperature. Cooking Time: 35 Minutes Preparation Time: 10 Minutes Ingredients for Turkey Burgers 2 1/4 pounds ground turkey 1/2 tablespoon butter 1/2 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 cups red onion coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon Canadian steak seasoning 1/4 tablespoon Greek oregano 3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled 5 Kaiser rolls Directions For Tukey Burger Melt butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add red onion. Sauté onion until carmelized. Allow onion to cool. In a mixing bowl combine onion, turkey, Canadian steak seasoning, oregano, and feta cheese. Form five 8-ounce patties. Place the wire rack on top on top of the universal tray. Trasfer the patties to the -

Jenn-Air® 24-Inch Steam and Convection Wall Oven
UAKC is Headquarters for Combi Steam Convection OvensUniversal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) has long been at the forefront with the new generation of Steam Convection Ovens. While European brands Miele, Thermador, and Gaggenau have had steam convection ovens for a while, American brands such as Wolf and Viking have only recently introduced their versions. Jenn-Air is among the most recent to enter the field."Our latest ovens are engineered to deliver precise results and offer a range of cooking modes from steam cooking to proofing,” notes Juliet Johnson, Jenn-Air Brand Experience Marketing Manager. “Aesthetically, they’re designed to seamlessly integrate into a variety of contemporary kitchen layouts.”More details from Jenn-Air are provided below about the new oven. A couple of important details that we'd like to point out are: The new Jenn-Air Steam Convection oven operates on a standard 110v. 15amp. circuit. This could be critically important, because your electrician will not have to pull a new 240v. wire just for this oven. The unit fits a standard 24" wall cabinet, but Jenn-Air is making available trim kits to finish out the oven to make it also fill a 27" or 30" wall cabinet.OverviewThis versatile wall oven uses steam to preserve nutrients in vegetables and tenderness in meats, and convection for evenly-baked pastries and roasts. Use steam and convection together for food that’s tender inside and roasted or crisped outside.Steam Plus Convection ModeTo keep meats tender and juicy inside and magnificently browned on -

KBIS and IBS to Showcase New Appliances and Plumbing Fixtures
International Builders Show andKitchen And Bath Industry Show On Feb. 3-6, 2014 the International Builders Show (IBS) and the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) for the first time will be co-locating their shows at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Product lines that will be showcased include many of the major appliance and plumbing fixture brands that you can find at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC). Appliance brands participating at the show include Frigidaire, Electrolux, BSH (Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau), Viking, Dacor, Liebherr, and others. Plumbing lines such as Brizo, KWC, Toto, Everpure, and many more will also exhibit. Trade shows allow manufacturers to display their products to the builders, contractors, dealers, distributors, designers, and remodelers who purchase and use their products. Manufacturers often show new products to get opinions and recommendations from industry veterans. The shows also provide an annual opportunity for customers to meet with suppliers, discuss concerns, and plan the year ahead. Just to give you an idea, induction cooking has been previewed at these shows for at least 10-15 years. Now, it is finally a reality with nearly all cooking product manufacturers offering some induction cooktops and/or ranges. Similarly, various speed cooking products have been shown over the years with mixed success. Both GE and Whirlpool have versions (Advantium and Velos) on the market now, but Thermador's Jet Impingement system shown in the early 2000's never launched.What will we see this year? Odds are there will be
