Today Heather as well as I (and Sawyer) are headed for Chicago where we will be going to a blog writer summit held by Kenmore. As my hubby as well as I are really in the market for a new range/oven/stove/whatever you want to call, you know, that huge gadget that cooks food in the kitchen, I am additional thinking about hearing about stoves/ovens/ranges/cooktops.

But, like any type of margarita lover, I won’t mind seeing a demo of a blender while we’re at it. With tequila in it. Okay? (My twitter buddy Laura tells me that usage of alcohol is crucial to staying warm — as well as Chicago is a snowy 18 degrees currently.)

The concern they’ve asked us, as a conversation starter, that I am now asking you is this one: Do you have any type of unusual, useful utilizes for your daily appliances?

For example, our visitor Elizabeth in Chicago told us on the Rookie mothers Facebook page that she leaves the oven light on as a nightlight in situation anybody in her home wanders into the kitchen area during the dark hours. Others warm up blankets as well as teddy bears in the dryer.

Myself, I just realized that the mac as well as cheese I typically take to potlucks to guarantee my own kid will eat SOMETHING might be made much more enticing if I brought it in my sluggish cooker. set it on potluck table plugged in to offer warm food. (Maybe everybody already understands that as well as I am a late bloomer when it concerns potluck protocol.)

Another blog writer who will be attending, BusyDad, demonstrates utilizing his stick mixer as a guitar accessory.

How about you? Do you have any type of appliance-related techniques up your sleeve? Do you store forks in your blender? utilize your waffle iron to put awesome patterns in your hair?
