Musical Shelves with your Frigidaire

By Gerrit's Appliances

The holiday season is here at last, which means hosting in your home will most likely follow. Right now would be a good time to clean out your refrigerator and ensure that you have the right storage flexibility. Frigidaire is among one of the most sought after when it comes to flexible storage. Take the Frigidaire Gallery  FGHI2164QF, which is rated better than most top freezer refrigerators. Perhaps consumers will have a tendency to consider this layout quite boring, but it’s this model’s door that leaves a lasting impression. The door features independent containers of multiple sizes that can be adjusted to one’s discretion. This refrigerator will surely be a helpful sidekick to those who plan to entertain during the holidays and need to arrange all of the food they plan to serve!

Does Your Range Make The Thanksgiving Checklist?

By Gerrit's Appliances

Hosting Thanksgiving can get a wee bit overwhelming. The goal is to breeze through the day, while impressing your guests with the spotlight of the dinner table – the turkey. Ladies & gentlemen, we are in the middle of a countdown to the largest cooking day of the year. The question is, are you ready and does your range make the checklist? If your goal is to emulate the blessings of an abundant harvest, then you should consider the ideal range to help you multitask. Here are some of our recommendations:

Perhaps the most convenient range to accommodate multitaskers is an electric double oven range. If you are looking for this convenience on a budget, why not consider the Whirlpool 6.7 total cu ft. doubleoven electric range with true convection cooking? This range will permit you to bake more quickly than its traditional counterpart and seal in flavor with convection cooking. You`ll love this Whirlpool range for its AccuBake Temperature Management System, True Convection Cooking (lower oven only) and also for its 10`` Rapid Boil element, to accommodate your favorite 10`` pots and pans. Not to mention, the double oven can be used simultaneously to cook at different temperatures. The lower oven is slightly larger and is the perfect alternative for hosting. There you have it…just imagine your turkey sealing in flavor and juices with the lower oven. If this nifty beauty is within your budget, you may want to check out its other features and specifications.

Are you a foodie and experienced cook with a deeper pocket? Then why not consider The Jenn-Air Pro-Style Dual-Fuel Range with Griddle and Multimode Convection for this Thanksgiving? This large commercial style range delivers the precision of gas with the consistent heat of electric. The stacked burners give you the power for high-heat cooking and the double oven has six different convection cooking modes that maintain superbly consistent results! Last, this looker has a durable chrome surface that is easily cleaned to maintain it beautiful appearance. You definitely won`t regret this purchase. The turkey will melt in your mouth, making you wonder ``what kind of sorcery is this?``.

The choice is yours. These are two great options to make your life easier this Thanksgiving, so you too can sit back and enjoy the bountiful harvest.

3 Ideas For Labor Day Long Weekend

by Gerrit's Appliance

We all like long weekends, but sometimes we don’t know what to do. Labor Day is a perfect day to take a break from any work, including housework and laundry! Take time to rest a little and spend some quality time with friends and family. Here are some ideas for a successful long weekend:

Play outside!
Is the sun shining and is the weather good? Take advantage of this perfect combination to organize a game of soccer or baseball with people you like to be with. If you are not sport buffs, just take time to sit in the backyard and talk about your favorite movie or anything that pleases you and your guests!

Make a brunch!
We all love to spend a little more time in bed on weekend mornings. Of course, the best thing after that is a good brunch with fruits, pancakes and chocolate milk!

Do nothing!
Sometimes, the only thing that we want to do during a long weekend is nothing! Just hanging there with a cup of coffee; observe nature in your backyard; or sitting by the window and leaf through a book or a magazine. Take a deep breath and relax…

Back To School Tips

by Gerrit's Appliance

Back-to-school is for many of us synonym of supplies, lunch, home works, mess and lunch again! When this time of the year is coming, we start to stress, to be tense and we are trying to be organized (which is not that easy sometimes!). Here are some organizing tips to help everyone being more relaxed at the back-to-school:


Make a space for children’s backpacks: 
In the lobby or anywhere else, take time to make an exclusive space to put the backpacks when child come back from school. It could be a storage bench, a wall shelf with hooks, a big basket or a large storage box.

Create a study area: 
To facilitate the productivity and reduce the homework time a study area is a must. Ideally, it should be a quiet place without any source of distraction like TV, video games, tablets, cell phone or any toy. The room could be filled with bookcases, a bench and/or chair, a work desk and maybe comfortable furniture where to read and study like a small sofa or a recliner.

Prepare in advance: 
To save time and avoid stress in the morning, preparing in advance is a good thing! The day before or even during the week-end, we can prepare lunches, sport clothes and organize backpacks for the upcoming week.

Choose outfits the night before: 
If we are still lacking time in the morning, choosing the outfits the night before could make the difference!
