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.

BBQ Ideas & Delicious Steak Recipe with Weber & Kamado Joe Grills

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/KAM-Appliances/240395WDP01-008_WDT750SAKZ_Set_sRGB.jpg" alt="" />As we transition into spring, it&rsquo;s the perfect time to reevaluate your home appliances and ensure that everything is running efficiently. One of the most essential appliances in any kitchen is the dishwasher. Not only does it save you time, but when used properly, it can also save water and energy. Whether you&rsquo;re wondering if your dishwasher really saves water compared to handwashing, or curious about some of the unique features Whirlpool dishwashers have to offer, we&rsquo;ve got you covered in this ultimate guide.
Dishwasher vs. Hand Wash: Does a Dishwasher Save Water?
The debate between using a dishwasher or handwashing dishes is an ongoing one, and many people wonder which method is more eco-friendly. According to Whirlpool&rsquo;s blog post&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/kitchen/do-dishwashers-save-water.html" target="_new">Do Dishwashers Save Water?</a>, dishwashers actually use less water than handwashing. On average, a dishwasher uses just 3-4 gallons of water per load, whereas handwashing can use up to 20 gallons! When you use your dishwasher efficiently, it can make a significant difference in water conservation, so it&rsquo;s a no-brainer for those looking to lower their water usage and save on their utility bills.
What You Can and Can&rsquo;t Put in Your Dishwasher
While dishwashers are incredibly convenient, knowing what can and can&rsquo;t go in there is crucial to keeping your dishes, cookware, and the dishwasher itself in top shape. Whirlpool&rsquo;s blog post&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/kitchen/what-is-and-is-not-dishwasher-safe.html" target="_new">What You Can and Can&rsquo;t Put in Your Dishwasher</a>&nbsp;gives a great overview of which items are safe to clean in the dishwasher and which should be handwashed. For example, some materials like cast iron, non-stick cookware, and delicate glassware may not fare well in a dishwasher. Always check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for your items but rest assured that most everyday dishes and utensils are dishwasher-safe!
You Can Put THAT in the Dishwasher?
You might be surprised to learn that there are a number of items you didn&rsquo;t realize could go in the dishwasher. Whirlpool&rsquo;s blog post&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/kitchen/things-you-didnt-know-are-dishwasher-safe.html" target="_new">You Can Put THAT in the Dishwasher?</a>&nbsp;highlights everyday items that are dishwasher-friendly, including plastic toys, certain kitchen tools, and even some types of shoes. For the busy family, this is a game-changer as it helps you save time on cleaning even more items. Imagine how much simpler life can be when you don&rsquo;t have to handwash your kid&rsquo;s favorite toys or cleaning brushes!
Inclusive Design in Whirlpool Dishwashers: A Feature You&rsquo;ll Love
Whirlpool doesn&rsquo;t just focus on making great appliances &ndash; they also aim to design their products for all users. Whirlpool&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/inclusive-design.html" target="_new">Inclusive Design</a>&nbsp;initiative focuses on creating products that are easier for everyone to use, including those with physical limitations. This means dishwashers with features that provide easier loading, intuitive controls, and an accessible design. Whether it&rsquo;s a convenient rack design, quiet operation, or a streamlined interface, Whirlpool&rsquo;s commitment to accessibility means you get more out of your appliance, no matter your needs.

The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Your Grill for Peak Performance

<img alt="&ldquo;FlexDrawer&rdquo;" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/KAM-Appliances/Miele_drawers_900x500.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px 15px 0px 0px;" />
Discover the world of refrigerator flex drawers! Let&rsquo;s explore the innovative features and benefits of these versatile storage compartments that are revolutionizing the way we organize our refrigerators. Whether you're a culinary enthusiast, a busy parent, or someone who simply loves keeping their groceries fresh and accessible, flex drawers are a game-changer. Here&rsquo;s a breakdown of the different settings and how to maximize their benefits.


VEGETABLES Optimal Temperature: 32-38&deg;F (0-3&deg;C) Vegetables are best kept in a humid environment to prevent them from drying out. The "Vegetables" setting maintains a higher humidity level, which is perfect for leafy greens, broccoli, carrots, and other fresh produce. This setting helps preserve the crispness and nutritional value of your veggies, ensuring they stay fresh until you're ready to use them.
Tips:
<ul style="padding-left: 30px;">
<li style="padding-left: 30px;">Store vegetables in their original packaging or in perforated plastic bags to maintain humidity.</li>
<li style="padding-left: 30px;">Avoid mixing fruits and vegetables in the same compartment, as some fruits emit ethylene gas which can cause vegetables to spoil faster.</li>
</ul>

FRUITS Optimal Temperature: 32-38&deg;F (0-3&deg;C) Fruits need a slightly different environment compared to vegetables. The "Fruits" setting also maintains a cool temperature but with slightly less humidity. This setting is ideal for keeping apples, berries, citrus fruits, and other fruits fresh and juicy.
 Tips:
<ul style="padding-left: 30px;">
<li style="padding-left: 30px;">Keep fruits in their original packaging or loosely in the drawer to allow air circulation.</li>
<li style="padding-left: 30px;">Monitor ripening fruits closely and remove overripe ones to prevent spoilage of others.</li>
</ul>

BEVERAGES Optimal Temperature: 33-37&deg;F (1-3&deg;C) For those who love their drinks perfectly chilled, the "Beverages" setting is a game-changer. This setting maintains a consistent, cold temperature that's ideal for sodas, juices, and other beverages, ensuring they are always refreshing and ready to serve.
Tips: 
<ul style="padding-left: 30px;">
<li style="padding-left: 30px;">Use this setting for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="padding-left: 30px;">Consider storing water bottles, sports drinks, and other frequently consumed items for easy access.</li>
</ul>

MEATS Optimal Temperature: 28-32&deg;F (-2-0&deg;C) Raw meats require a colder environment to stay fresh and safe for consumption. The "Meats" setting keeps the drawer at just above freezing, which slows bacterial growth and extends the shelf life of your meat products. This setting is perfect for storing steaks, chicken, fish, and other raw proteins.
Tips: 
<ul style="padding-left: 30px;">
<li style="padding-left: 30px;">Keep meats in their original packaging or tightly sealed in plastic wrap or containers to prevent cross-contamination.</li>

So, you're on the hunt for a new fridge, and here's the deal &ndash; deciding between internal or external ice and water dispensers is a bigger deal than you might think. It's not just about keeping things cool; it's about your daily convenience and the long-term love you'll give your appliance.
Let's dive into the cool world of fridge choices and weigh the pros and cons, all while keeping it light and easy.
Internal Ice and Water Refrigerators
PROS
<ul>
<li>Sleek Vibes Picture this &ndash; a fridge that doesn't just chill your food but also looks cool doing it. Internal ice and water dispensers add a touch of sophistication, seamlessly blending into your kitchen's vibe. </li>
<li>Budget Bliss Looking for a deal? Internal water or no water is usually kinder on your wallet.</li>
</ul>
CONS
<ul>
<li>Space Crunch Every cool feature has a trade-off. Internal dispensers might nibble a bit into your main storage space. Not a biggie for most, but storage aficionados might feel the pinch. </li>
<li>Accessibility You have to open the refrigerator to get to the water dispenser, which is not as convenient and may reduce the energy efficiency of your refrigerator, depending on how long you keep the door open.</li>
</ul>

External Ice and Water Refrigerators
PROS
<ul>
<li>Easy Access Hosting a party or just in a rush? External dispensers got your back. No need to open the fridge &ndash; just fill up and go! </li>
<li>Storage Savior Maybe/maybe not. Love your fridge space? External dispensers allow you to keep the spacious and roomy main compartment of your refrigerator. Keep in mind that you will lose door storage with an external dispenser. It does, however, free up freezer space since the icemaker is now on the door instead of in the freezer.</li>
</ul>
CONS
<ul>
<li>Aesthetic Quirks Sure, it's handy, but external setups might not win a beauty pageant. They can look a bit utilitarian, not blending as seamlessly into your kitchen dreams. </li>
<li>Clean-Up Challenge Life happens, and so do spills. External dispensers face the elements and might need a bit more TLC. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind.</li>
</ul>

As the year draws to a close and we eagerly anticipate the arrival of a new one, New Year's Eve celebrations become a cherished tradition worldwide. Opting for mocktails doesn't mean sacrificing taste or sophistication. In fact, these alcohol-free beverages can be just as vibrant, creative, and enjoyable as their alcoholic counterparts. Whether you're abstaining from alcohol, catering to guests of all ages, or simply seeking a refreshing and healthier option, mocktails provide a wonderful way to elevate the celebratory mood.
Creating mocktails involves blending various flavors, textures, and garnishes to produce drinks that are visually stunning and bursting with taste. Here are a few ideas to spark your imagination:
&bull; Sparkling Cranberry Punch: Mix cranberry juice, sparkling water, a splash of lime, and garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for a drink that embodies the festive spirit.
&bull; Minty Citrus Cooler: Combine freshly squeezed orange and lime juice with muddled mint leaves, top with soda water, and garnish with a mint sprig and a citrus slice for a zesty, invigorating mocktail.
&bull; Berry Bliss Spritzer: Muddle mixed berries, add a splash of elderflower syrup, and top with ginger ale or tonic water for a refreshing drink that's bursting with fruity flavors.
&bull; Pineapple Coconut Refresher: Blend pineapple juice, coconut milk, a splash of lime, and ice for a tropical delight. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry for an extra touch.
The presentation of mocktails can be as enchanting as their taste. Use fancy glassware, colorful straws, fruit slices, or creative garnishes like edible flowers, herbs, or citrus twists to add flair and elegance to your drinks. Don&rsquo;t forget the ice! Craft ice, clear ice, or ice made from filtered water can enhance your drink&rsquo;s appearance and taste and is an important ingredient in any mocktail or cocktail. Creating an inviting aesthetic enhances the overall experience and makes toasting the New Year even more special.

Wine is never out of season, so let KAM Appliances help you choose the right storage for your wine &amp; beverages.
For wine enthusiasts, the art of savoring a perfectly aged bottle goes beyond just a beverage; it's an experience. To preserve the quality and taste of your favorite wines, investing in a wine fridge can be a game-changer. This appliance isn't just a luxury; it's a practical and efficient solution that enhances your wine collection and elevates your overall enjoyment. Let's uncork the myriad reasons why buying a wine fridge is a worthwhile investment.
Temperature Control: One of the fundamental elements in preserving wine is keeping a consistent temperature. Unlike regular refrigerators that fluctuate in temperature, wine fridges are designed specifically to ensure a stable and controlled environment. They offer a range of temperature settings suitable for both reds and whites, safeguarding your wines from temperature variations that could compromise their quality.
Flavor and Aroma: Temperature fluctuations, exposure to light, and humidity changes can adversely affect the taste and aroma of wine. Wine fridges provide a stable, cool, and dark environment, shielding your collection from these detrimental factors. This preservation ensures that each bottle keeps its intended flavors and aromas, allowing you to enjoy the wine as the vintner intended.
Aging: For those who appreciate aged wines, a wine fridge is indispensable. It enables you to store bottles for longer periods, allowing them to mature gracefully. With controlled conditions, wines can develop complex flavors and textures, enhancing their quality over time. A wine fridge supplies the perfect environment to curate a collection of beautifully aged wines ready for those special occasions.
Organization and Convenience: A dedicated wine fridge helps organize your collection efficiently. With adjustable shelves and compartments, it allows for proper storage and easy access to your wines. This convenience means no more shuffling through a regular refrigerator or storage racks to find the perfect bottle for the occasion.
KAM COMMENTS Investing in a wine fridge isn't just about storing bottles; it's a commitment to preserving the wines you love. A wine fridge becomes an essential tool for any wine aficionado. Elevate your wine experience and safeguard your collection by considering a wine fridge&mdash;an investment that undoubtedly enhances the pleasure of every pour.
PS: Wine fridges also make great cheese caves!
Cheers to preserving the essence of fine wines!
