Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance

Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare.

Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens

Ease of cleaning is well worth considering at the outset. Stay clean liners resist dirt build-up but pyrolitic cleaning is the ultimate. It burns off all baked-on debris at 500°C so that all you have to do is sweep out the resulting ash. Look out for ovens with a steam cleaning facility, too, and remember that some ovens have removable inner doors that are easy to clean.

Kitchen tips -> Lemons

When selecting, choose lemons that are heavy for their size and have smooth skins.
Before squeezing juice from a fresh lemon, try one of these tips to produce more juice:
- Allow the lemon to reach room temperature and then roll it on a hard countertop using the palm of your hand. Roll it back and forth until you feel the skin loosening.
- To produce more juice from a lemon or other citrus fruit, place the fruit in a bowl of hot water before cutting and squeezing.
- Place it in the microwave for 10 seconds before squeezing
