Can I mix appliance brands in my kitchen? Short answer: Yes, when it makes sense.
If you&rsquo;re designing a new kitchen or upgrading your kitchen appliances, you might wonder: Should I stick to one brand or mix and match? The truth is today&rsquo;s kitchen trends are all about&nbsp;personalized design, performance, and flexibility and mixing appliance brands can be a smart move when done thoughtfully.
At KAM Appliances, we help homeowners and kitchen designers find the right balance between&nbsp;function, budget, and style, even if that means blending multiple top appliance brands.
When Mixing Brands Makes Sense
Many appliance brands shine in specific categories. For example:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/sub-zero">Sub-Zero&nbsp;</a>is world-renowned for luxury&nbsp;refrigeration</li>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/wolf">Wolf&nbsp;</a>dominates in professional-style&nbsp;cooking appliances</li>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/cove/dishwashers">Cove&nbsp;</a>offers ultra-quiet, high-performance&nbsp;dishwashers</li>
</ul>
These brands are designed to work together, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean every kitchen needs to follow a single-brand rule. If you&rsquo;re passionate about cooking but want to save on refrigeration, combining brands allows you to&nbsp;prioritize what matters most.
Add Personality and Style to Your Kitchen
Want to make your kitchen stand out? Mixing brands gives you the chance to bring in unique, statement pieces.

Discover how to treat common summer stains and find the best laundry appliances for seasonal messes. Read KAM Appliances’ ultimate summer laundry and top 5 tips to treat stains and keep your clothes fresh.

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/KAM-Appliances/July_Promo_Laundry.jpg" />
Summer brings sunshine, sandy beach days, sticky ice cream hands, and more laundry than ever. Whether you&rsquo;re tackling watermelon juice stains or trying to revive beach towels, your laundry room deserves a seasonal strategy. At KAM Appliances, we know that small tips and the right tools can make a big difference. Here's your go-to summer laundry guide&nbsp;and top 5 tips&nbsp;for fresh, clean clothes all season long.
Top Summer Stains &amp; How to Treat Them
1. Watermelon &amp; Fruit Juice Stains&nbsp;
These sugary stains love to set fast. Blot the spot (don&rsquo;t rub!) with cold water, pretreat with a stain remover or vinegar solution, and wash on cold. Avoid the dryer until the stain disappears.
2. Ice Cream &amp; Popsicle Stains&nbsp;
The classic summer drip! Rinse with cold water ASAP, apply dish soap or laundry detergent directly to the stain, let sit, and wash normally. For stubborn stains, opt for a steam cycle if your washer has it.
3. Grass &amp; Dirt Stains from Summer Sports&nbsp;
Grass stains benefit from a pre-treatment using an enzyme-based stain remover or a paste of baking soda and water. Scrub gently, then wash on warm or heavy-duty depending on fabric.
4. BBQ Sauce &amp; Mustard Stains&nbsp;
Tackle these colorful condiments with dish soap or a pre-wash stain spray. Let sit for 10&ndash;15 minutes, then wash in warm water.&nbsp;Repeat if needed.&nbsp;Avoid&nbsp;the dryer until the stain disappears.
5. Sand &amp; Smells in Beach Towels&nbsp;
Shake towels outside to remove excess sand. Use warm water, vinegar, and a second rinse cycle to remove musty smells and residues. Skip fabric softener to keep towels fluffy and absorbent.
Laundry Tips to Simplify Summer Washing
<div class="s7">
<ul>
<li>Wash swimsuits in a mesh bag with cold water and mild detergent to preserve elasticity</li>
<li>Air-dry wherever possible to preserve energy and avoid shrinking</li>
<li>Sort laundry by use (outdoor, beach, daily wear) to customize wash cycles and avoid cross-contamination of sand or stains</li>
<li>Clean your washer drum regularly to keep it smelling fresh and functioning efficiently</li>
</ul>

Featured Project: A Harwich Coastal Retreat with KAM Appliances

A complete Thanksgiving 2025 turkey plan—from thawing and seasoning to brining, roasting, resting, and carving. Learn the techniques that make for a juicy, flavorful, golden-brown turkey every time.

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/KAM-Appliances/AdobeStock_271097710_2_Large.jpeg" alt="" />
Thanksgiving isn&rsquo;t just about serving a turkey &mdash; it&rsquo;s about the process. From that first moment you move the frozen bird from freezer to fridge, to the proud moment it comes out of the oven perfectly golden, there&rsquo;s a rhythm to cooking a Thanksgiving turkey that feels like the true start of the holidays.
This year let&rsquo;s make that process simpler, smarter, and a little more flavorful.
It All Starts with the Bird
First things first: pick the right size. Once home, start thawing early &mdash; 24 hours in the refrigerator for every 4&ndash;5 pounds is the gold standard. If you&rsquo;re short on time, a cold-water bath can help speed things along, about 30 minutes per pound with regular water changes.
Once thawed, it&rsquo;s time to clean, dry, and season. Don&rsquo;t skip drying the skin &mdash; it&rsquo;s the secret to that golden crispness everyone loves. Inside, a few sprigs of herbs, half a lemon, handful of garlic cloves, and a little salt and pepper can infuse subtle aroma and flavor as it roasts.
Build the Flavor
Before your turkey even hits the oven, it&rsquo;s time to make it shine. Flavor comes in layers &mdash; and these three techniques are the foundation of a moist, flavorful bird.
Brine: Start with a turkey that hasn&rsquo;t been pre-brined. Make your own brine with water, salt, sugar, and your favorite herbs or citrus slices. Brining keeps the meat juicy and lets you customize the flavor profile whether you prefer savory, citrusy, or slightly sweet.
Butter: Make a compound butter with softened butter, chopped herbs, garlic, and lemon zest. Gently loosen the skin over the turkey breast and spread the butter underneath for a golden-brown, flavorful crust.
Baste: Basting helps lock in moisture and adds that irresistible crisp finish. Melted butter is classic, but olive oil or a light fruit juice spritz can add a subtle twist.
Into the Oven
When it&rsquo;s finally time to cook, set your oven to 325&deg;F and let it preheat completely before the turkey goes in. Place the bird on a rack inside a roasting pan to keep the heat circulating evenly. If your oven features convection cooking, use it &mdash; the fan ensures the turkey cooks faster and browns more evenly without constant rotation.
Keep a meat thermometer handy and check the thickest part of the thigh &mdash; it&rsquo;s done when it hits 165&deg;F in the breast and around 180&deg;F in the leg. And while it&rsquo;s tempting to check too often, every peek lets out heat. Open sparingly and baste efficiently to keep things consistent.
Rest, Carve, and Celebrate
When your turkey is done, don&rsquo;t rush to carve. Give it at least an hour to rest under a loose tent of foil. This simple pause lets the juices redistribute, making for a moist, tender bird. Then it&rsquo;s carving time and if you&rsquo;ve followed the rhythm, you&rsquo;ll be rewarded with crisp skin, juicy meat, and a plate that looks straight out of a magazine.
KAM COMMENTS
At KAM Appliances, we know that the best meals are made in the heart of your home, and your kitchen appliances help make the holiday magic happen. Whether it&rsquo;s a reliable oven, a roomy refrigerator, a speedy cooktop, or an efficient dishwasher, the right tools turn Thanksgiving into a celebration of flavor, family, and home.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at KAM Appliances, making the kitchen the heart of your home this holiday season.

INGREDIENTS
<ul>
<li>8 small or 6 large croissants, torn into chunks&nbsp;</li>
<li>10 large eggs&nbsp;</li>
<li>3 medium onions, sliced crosswise&nbsp;</li>
<li>3 cups half &amp; half&nbsp;</li>
<li>2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese</li>

DIRECTIONS
<ul>
<li>Caramelize onions: Melt butter and olive oil in a frying pan. Add sliced onions and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until golden brown. Add balsamic vinegar and cook until liquid is absorbed and onions are darkened, 2 &ndash; 3 minutes. Set aside and let cool.</li>
<li>Grease 9&rdquo;x13&rdquo; baking dish. Spread out torn croissants and toast in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Whisk together eggs, half &amp; half, salt, pepper &amp; cayenne.
