Cooler weather? No problem. Learn how to grill indoors with broiling, stovetop tips, and easy cleaning tricks for that smoky flavor.

<p>There's nothing worse than dreaming of that smoky, charred flavor only to be met with biting cold when you step outside. If grilling in a winter coat isn't your idea of a good time, don't worry&mdash;you can bring the grill indoors! From broiling in your oven to using a stovetop grill pan, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your favorite grilled dishes without braving the chill. Our experts at&nbsp;Tony’s Appliance are here to help you master these techniques and make your indoor grilling effortless.</p>

<h2>Broiling: The Secret to Indoor Grilling Greatness</h2>
<p>Broiling is the indoor answer to grilling when going outside isn't an option! It works by blasting your food with high, direct heat from the top heating element of your oven, giving it that crispy, caramelized finish we all love from the grill. Think of it as grilling in reverse&mdash;heat comes from above, not below&mdash;so you can still get that charred flavor without lighting up the grill! It's quick, efficient, and perfect for bringing summer vibes to your kitchen year-round.</p>
<p>This method shines when it comes to proteins and veggies! A quick broil can give steaks and chicken thighs that crisped-up exterior you'd expect from a grill, all while keeping the inside juicy. Fish like salmon or tilapia broils beautifully, too, cooking in minutes. And don't forget the veggies&mdash;zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms develop that sweet, smoky caramelization we crave. You can use your broiler for minor touches, like melting cheese on casseroles or toasting bread for sandwiches. Once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder why you didn't start broiling sooner!</p>
<p>Broiling might sound simple, but a few small tweaks can take your results from "pretty good" to "outdoor grill-worthy." Here's what you need to know:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Preheat, Preheat, Preheat</strong>: Like a grill, your broiler works best when hot and ready. Let it preheat for 5&ndash;10 minutes before cooking.</li>
<li><strong>Rack Placement Is Key</strong>: Keep the rack about 4&ndash;6 inches below the broiler for the perfect balance of searing heat and even cooking. Too close, and you'll end up with burnt food; too far, it won't char properly.</li>
<li><strong>Pick the Right Pan</strong>: Skip the glassware (it can crack!) and grab a broiler-safe pan like cast iron or stainless steel. Bonus: They're great for catching drips and reducing cleanup.</li>
<li><strong>Keep an Eye on It</strong>: Broiling is fast and intense, so don't wander off! Check your food every few minutes to make sure it's browning&mdash;not burning.</li>
<li><strong>Go Thin and Small</strong>: Broiling works best with foods that cook quickly, like thin steaks, chicken breasts, or bite-sized veggies. Save the big roasts for slower methods.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A young woman cooks meat in a grill pan on her stove." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_indoor-grill-tips-tricks_2.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Grill Pan Goals: How to Sear, Sizzle, and Succeed Indoors</h2>
<p>When grilling outdoors isn&rsquo;t on the menu, a stovetop grill pan is the next best thing! Designed with raised ridges, these pans mimic grill grates by creating beautiful sear marks while allowing fats to drip away from your food. Even better, they concentrate heat for that charred flavor and smoky aroma we love. It's like grilling but without the extra layers&mdash;and you can do it all from the warmth of your kitchen.</p>
<p>Grill pans are super versatile and work well with a variety of foods! Think juicy chicken breasts, marinated steaks, or even shrimp skewers. Want to grill burgers indoors? A grill pan will give you that smoky crust and those signature lines. For veggies, zucchini, asparagus, and bell peppers take on a rich, charred flavor in minutes. You can even throw on pineapple or peaches for a sweet, grilled dessert.</p>
<p>It's worth mentioning that using this method takes a little finesse, but it's worth it for the flavor payoff! Keep these tips in mind to make the most of your grill pan:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Preheat It Properly</strong>: A cold pan won't give you those perfect sear marks. Let the grill pan heat up for a few minutes before adding food to avoid sticking.</li>
<li><strong>Use the Right Oil</strong>: Go for a high-smoke-point oil, like canola or avocado oil, to prevent smoke and burnt flavors. Just a light coating is all you need.</li>
<li><strong>Don't Overcrowd the Pan</strong>: Grill pans work best when food has space to breathe. Crowding leads to steaming, not searing. Cook in batches if necessary.</li>
<li><strong>Press Gently for Grill Marks</strong>: Use a spatula or tongs to press your food onto the ridges gently, but don't flatten it&mdash;you want sear marks, not dry, squashed food.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A grill pan of cooked peaches." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_indoor-grill-tips-tricks_3.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Convection Ovens: Your Winter Grilling MVP</h2>
<p>If you have a convection oven, you have a powerful tool for recreating outdoor grilling results indoors. Convection ovens use a fan to circulate hot air evenly, cooking food faster and more consistently than a traditional oven. This is perfect for larger cuts of meat or dense dishes that need thorough cooking. Plus, that even heat distribution helps avoid hot spots, giving you juicy, perfectly cooked food every time&mdash;just like a grill.</p>
<p>Convection ovens excel at foods that need even, consistent heat. They're fantastic for larger items like whole chicken, thick pork chops, or baked salmon. Roasted vegetables&mdash;think sweet potatoes, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts&mdash;come out tender inside and caramelized outside. You can also bake flatbreads or pizza to get that crisp, grilled texture on the crust. And don't forget about dessert: convection ovens can perfectly caramelize fruits like pears or apples for a warm, comforting treat.</p>
<p>To get the most out of your convection oven, combine its strengths with grilling techniques. Here's how:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pair It with Broiling</strong>: Use the convection setting to cook thicker cuts of meat or dense vegetables all the way through, then finish with the broiler for that golden, crispy exterior.</li>
<li><strong>Use the Right Cookware</strong>: Opt for shallow pans or baking trays to allow the hot air to circulate freely. Raised racks work even better, keeping food elevated so it cooks from all sides.</li>
<li><strong>Adjust Cooking Times</strong>: Convection ovens cook faster, so watch your food and start checking for doneness earlier than you would with a standard oven.</li>
<li><strong>Avoid Overcrowding</strong>: Just like with a grill, give your food space to let the hot air circulate evenly around it.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A female wipes down the edge of her black range." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q4_2024/Appl_indoor-grill-tips-tricks_4.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Mess-Free Grilling Starts Here</h2>
<p>Grilling indoors can bring big flavor and a bit of a mess. Grease splatters, baked-on drips, and stuck-on food can add up quickly. Don't worry, though! With these simple tips, you can keep your kitchen spotless while enjoying all the benefits of indoor grilling.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Range Top</strong>: A quick wipe-down after cooking saves time later! Use stovetop liners to catch grease, and baking soda and vinegar are your cleanup dream team for stubborn stains.</li>
<li><strong>Grill Pan</strong>: Let it cool before cleaning (trust me, your pan will thank you). A stiff brush or baking soda paste can handle tough spots. For cast iron, skip the soap to preserve that all-important seasoning.</li>
<li><strong>Oven</strong>: A drip tray is your best friend&mdash;place it under your food to catch spills. Soak oven racks in soapy water for easy cleaning, and tackle grease buildup with a baking soda paste left overnight.</li>
</ul>
<p>With just a little effort after each use, you can keep your kitchen looking fresh and ready for your next grilling adventure. Indoor grilling doesn't have to mean extra hassle&mdash;just good food and a clean space!</p>

<h2>A Fridge Full of Possibilities</h2>
<p>It's a universal truth: kids are snack machines. But instead of hearing "Mom, where's the cheese?" for the tenth time today, why not set up your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/refrigeration" target="_blank">fridge</a></span> to empower their independence? The right refrigerator can make grabbing snacks, finding ingredients, and even learning a little organization second nature for your budding chefs.</p>
<p>Here's how certain refrigerator features can make life easier for both you and your kids:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>French Door Models</strong>: Wide shelves and door bins make snacks, drinks, and prepped meals easy to reach.</li>
<li><strong>Bottom-Freezer Designs</strong>: Put frozen treats and ingredients at kid height so they can grab their own popsicles or help get dinner supplies.</li>
<li><strong>Clear Storage Bins</strong>: Let kids see their options without digging through the chaos.</li>
<li><strong>Adjustable Shelves</strong>: Customize the fridge layout to fit kid-sized containers or pre-portioned snacks.</li>
</ul>
<p>With a few clever adjustments, your refrigerator can go from just another appliance to a hub of healthy snack independence for your little ones.</p>

<h2>Ranges That Sizzle Safely</h2>
<p>Your kid's curiosity about cooking is bound to include "Can I help with the stove?" &ndash; which might send a chill down your spine. But with the right <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/ranges" target="_blank">range</a></span> or oven, you can let them join the action safely and confidently. Today's appliances can turn kitchen chaos into a safe learning experience, making it easy for kids to get hands-on while you stay stress-free.</p>
<p>The right features can help you say "yes" when your little chef wants to lend a hand:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Induction Cooktops</strong>: These use electromagnetic heating, so the burners stay cool to the touch where pots and pans aren't in contact. Fewer burns = happy parents!</li>
<li><strong>Ovens with Cool-Touch Doors</strong>: Many ovens now feature exterior glass that stays cool, even at high temperatures, reducing the risk of accidental burns.</li>
<li><strong>Child Safety Locks</strong>: Both ranges and ovens often include lock features to prevent little hands from turning on burners or opening doors unsupervised.</li>
<li><strong>Built-In Timers and Alerts</strong>: Teaching kids about time management while cooking is easier when your appliance helps keep track.</li>
</ul>
<p>With these features, you can turn your range or oven into a tool for safe culinary exploration, letting your kids experience the magic of cooking firsthand.</p>
<p>
<figure class="dsg-bg-box">
  <blockquote>
<strong>Hands-On Activity:</strong>
<br>
Teach kids to measure and mix ingredients for a simple recipe like pizza dough. Once ready, they can help spread sauce, sprinkle cheese, and add toppings before the oven does its job.

<h2>Dishwashers That Make Cleanup a Breeze</h2>
<p>Cooking with kids can be magical&hellip; until you look at the mess. Piles of dishes, sticky utensils, and the occasional "How did flour even get here?" moment might make you rethink your decision. But with the right <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/dishwashers" target="_blank">dishwasher</a></span>, cleanup can transform into a shared activity that's almost (almost!) as fun as the cooking itself.</p>
<p>The best dishwashers make cleanup a breeze for families:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Adjustable Racks</strong>: Adjust the height of racks for small plates, cups, or utensils to let kids load and unload dishes easily.</li>
<li><strong>Utensil-Specific Compartments</strong>: Sorting forks, spoons, and knives into designated slots feels like a puzzle instead of a chore.</li>
<li><strong>Quiet Operation</strong>: No one wants to shout over a noisy dishwasher while cleaning up, especially after a fun family dinner.</li>
<li><strong>Energy-Efficient Cycles</strong>: Teach kids about sustainability by explaining how these features save water and energy during cleanup.</li>
</ul>
<p>With these features, the dishwasher stops being just another appliance and becomes a teaching tool that encourages teamwork and responsibility.</p>
<p>
<figure class="dsg-bg-box">
  <blockquote>
<strong>Hands-On Activity:</strong>
<br>
Turn loading the dishwasher into a sorting game. Give kids the task of organizing utensils, stacking plates, or finding all the "red cups." Bonus points for creative nicknames! 
  </blockquote>
</figure>

<h2>Freezers: Cool Storage for Creative Snacks</h2>
<p>Whether it's storing extra meals for busy nights or saving homemade treats for later, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/freezers" target="_blank">freezers</a></span> are a parent's best friend. But for kids? They're like treasure chests full of frozen possibilities! The right freezer can help your little ones safely explore food storage and even get hands-on with prepping snacks or meals.</p>
<p>Here's why a kid-friendly freezer can make your kitchen even cooler:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bottom-Freezer Models</strong>: The freezer drawer is at kid height, making it easy for little ones to grab popsicles, frozen fruit, or pre-prepped smoothie packs.</li>
<li><strong>Clear, Labeled Bins</strong>: Transparent storage bins make it simple for kids to see what's inside, encouraging organization and independence.</li>
<li><strong>Easy-Open Handles</strong>: Sturdy but lightweight handles let kids access the freezer without struggling or slamming.</li>
<li><strong>Adjustable Dividers</strong>: Keep snacks, meal preps, and other items neatly sorted, teaching kids the basics of staying organized.</li>
</ul>
<p>A freezer isn't just for leftovers &ndash; it's a chance to show kids how fun and practical food storage can be.</p>
<p>
<figure class="dsg-bg-box">
  <blockquote>
<strong>Cook Together:</strong>
<br>
Frozen fruit pops. Blend fruit puree with juice, pour it into molds, and freeze. Your kids can check their popsicles' progress as they harden &ndash; a little patience lesson wrapped in a tasty reward.

One-Pan Wonders: 12 Easy Sheet Pan Meals for Busy Weeknights

Keep your homemade soup tasting delicious with tips for proper storage, freezing, and safe microwave reheating. 

<p>There&rsquo;s nothing like a cozy bowl of soup to warm you up, especially during National Soup Month! But here&rsquo;s a scenario you might recognize: you pull a container of soup from the freezer, only to find it covered in icy crystals. Or worse, you try to microwave it, and it comes out scorching on the edges and stone-cold in the middle. Frustrating, right?</p>
<p>It doesn&rsquo;t have to be this way. With a few simple techniques, you can keep your homemade soups tasting as fresh and delicious as the day they were made. Our experts at&nbsp;Tony’s Appliance are here to share the secrets to freezing and reheating soup the right way, so every bowl is a winner!</p>
<p><img alt="A couple stirs a pot on a stove together and adds salt.&nbsp;" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_soup-freezing-tips/Appl_soup-freezing-tips_1.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Mastering Soup Storage: Get It Right from the Start</h2>
<p>Soup lovers, we&rsquo;ve all been there&mdash;dreaming of a warm bowl on a chilly night, only to discover freezer mishaps have ruined our plans. Luckily, freezing soup the right way is simple when you know the tricks!</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cool it down first.</strong> Don&rsquo;t toss piping-hot soup straight into the freezer. Not only can it mess with your freezer&rsquo;s temperature, but it could also lead to uneven freezing. Let the soup cool completely before packing it up&mdash;placing the pot in an ice water bath can speed this up.</li>
<li><strong>Pick the right containers.</strong> Use freezer-safe options like glass jars, sturdy plastic containers, or resealable freezer bags. Want quick reheats later? Divide the soup into individual portions. Always leave a little space at the top&mdash;frozen soup expands, and a busted lid is no fun.</li>
<li><strong>Label everything.</strong> No more guessing games with freezer mystery meals! Write the type of soup and the date on the container. Most soups are best enjoyed within three months, so keeping track helps you stay organized and enjoy them at their peak.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A frozen bowl of soup sits in a freezer with a smiley face in the ice." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_soup-freezing-tips/Appl_soup-freezing-tips_2.jpg" /></p>
<h2>The Freezing Formula for Fresh Soup</h2>
<p>Your freezer is like a time capsule for soup&mdash;if you set it up right. Here&rsquo;s how to ensure your soup stays fresh, tasty, and freezer-burn-free.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Set your freezer temperature.</strong> Your freezer should be at or below 0&deg;F (-18&deg;C) to keep food safe and maintain quality. Don&rsquo;t remember the last time you checked? Use a freezer thermometer to confirm, and adjust the settings if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Freeze it fast.</strong> Lay resealable freezer bags flat on a baking sheet to create thin, stackable layers. Flat freezing speeds up the freezing process and saves precious freezer space. For containers, leave some airflow around them until the soup is frozen solid, then stack them neatly.</li>
<li><strong>Avoid freezer overload.</strong> Stuffing your freezer to the brim might sound efficient, but it actually slows down freezing. Leave some room for air circulation so your soup freezes quickly and evenly.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A bowl of a tomato-based soup in a microwave." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_soup-freezing-tips/Appl_soup-freezing-tips_3.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Reheating Without Regret: Microwave Tips That Work</h2>
<p>Reheating soup in the microwave sounds easy&mdash;until you end up with boiling edges and an icy center. Let&rsquo;s fix that! With these simple tips, your soup will be evenly heated and perfectly delicious every time.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Thaw before reheating.</strong> If you&rsquo;ve got the time, thaw your soup in the fridge overnight. For a quicker option, use your microwave&rsquo;s defrost setting to soften it before fully reheating. Starting from frozen can lead to uneven heating.</li>
<li><strong>Use the proper microwave settings.</strong> Heat the soup in a microwave-safe bowl at medium power (50-70%) to prevent hot spots. Stir every 30-60 seconds for even warmth, and keep going until it&rsquo;s steamy all the way through.</li>
<li><strong>Check the temperature.</strong> For safe eating, your soup should reach 165&deg;F (74&deg;C). If you don&rsquo;t have a thermometer, ensure it&rsquo;s bubbling gently and piping hot throughout.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<figure class="dsg-bg-box">
  <blockquote>
<strong>Pro Tip:</strong>
<br>
To avoid splatters, cover your soup loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plate. Less cleanup means more time to enjoy your meal!

<h2>Soup Hacks That&rsquo;ll Change Your Freezer Game</h2>
<p>If you&rsquo;re a soup enthusiast (and who isn&rsquo;t?), these extra tips will help you make the most of every batch&mdash;whether it&rsquo;s headed for the freezer or straight to your table.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Choose freezer-friendly soups.</strong> Broth-based soups, vegetable soups, and chili freeze beautifully. Cream-based or dairy-heavy soups? Not so much&mdash;they tend to separate or get grainy. If your favorite recipe has cream, add it fresh after reheating.</li>
<li><strong>Skip the pasta (for now).</strong> Noodles don&rsquo;t hold up well in the freezer; they&rsquo;ll turn to mush when reheated. Freeze the soup without the pasta, and cook fresh noodles to add when it&rsquo;s time to eat.</li>
<li><strong>Get creative with leftovers.</strong> Reheated soup doesn&rsquo;t have to stay in the bowl. Use it as a base for casseroles, stews, or even sauces to keep your meals exciting.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<figure class="dsg-bg-box">
  <blockquote>
<strong>Pro Tip:</strong>
<br>
Love thick soups like split pea or chowder? Freeze them in small portions, then use them as a savory filling for pot pies or baked potatoes.

Soup Storage Secrets: Freezing and Microwaving Done Right

Make National Spaghetti Day unforgettable with stovetop tricks that bring out the best in your pasta dishes, from sauces to perfectly cooked noodles.

<p>Spaghetti night&mdash;what could go wrong, right? Until the water refuses to boil, the sauce bubbles over, and you&rsquo;re wondering why garlic bread is always the first thing to burn. The truth is, cooking the perfect pasta dinner can feel like a bit of a circus. This National Spaghetti Day, let&rsquo;s change that! Your range is packed with features that can take the chaos out of dinner prep and turn spaghetti night into a smooth, enjoyable experience.</p>
<p>Not sure how to get started? Our experts at&nbsp;Tony’s Appliance are here to show you all the &ldquo;pasta&rdquo;-bilities!</p>
<p><img alt="A pair of hands dumps circular noodles into boiling water." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_perfect-pasta-tips/Appl_perfect-pasta-tips_1.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Perfecting Pasta with High-Powered Burners</h2>
<p>Let&rsquo;s be honest: waiting forever for water to boil is no one&rsquo;s idea of fun, especially when everyone&rsquo;s asking, &ldquo;Is dinner ready yet?&rdquo; High-powered burners are here to save the day! These burners bring water to a rolling boil in no time so that you can get that pasta cooking faster.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Go Big or Go Home</strong>: Use your largest burner to heat water faster. Smaller burners can leave you staring at the pot, wondering if it&rsquo;s broken.</li>
<li><strong>Keep It Rolling</strong>: Once the pasta&rsquo;s in, crank the heat to keep that boil going strong. This prevents clumping and ensures evenly cooked noodles.</li>
<li><strong>Size Matters</strong>: Match your pot to the burner. A too-big pot takes forever to heat, while a too-small one risks messy boil-overs.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A wooden spoon stirs a pan of tomato sauce.&nbsp;" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_perfect-pasta-tips/Appl_perfect-pasta-tips_2.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Simmer Settings for Saucy Success</h2>
<p>There&rsquo;s nothing worse than a sauce that&rsquo;s either scorched or watery. The key to a rich, flavorful pasta sauce is consistent, low heat&mdash;and that&rsquo;s where your range&rsquo;s simmer setting shines. It&rsquo;s like having a personal sauce babysitter, keeping the heat just right for that perfect blend of flavors.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Low and Steady Wins the Race</strong>: Use the simmer setting to cook sauces slowly, allowing flavors to deepen without burning.</li>
<li><strong>Hands-Off, Mostly</strong>: Stir occasionally, but let the sauce thicken naturally. Constant stirring can disrupt the magic.</li>
<li><strong>Keep It Warm</strong>: Done with the sauce but not the pasta? Simmer settings are great for keeping it warm without drying it out.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Precision Cooking with Induction Cooktops</h2>
<p>Ever feel like stovetop cooking is a game of guessing? Induction cooktops take the mystery out of it, giving you precise control over the heat. Whether you&rsquo;re melting butter for a delicate sauce or bringing water to a gentle boil, induction is like having a sous chef who listens.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dial It In</strong>: Need a quick boil? Done. A gentle simmer? Easy. Induction&rsquo;s responsive heat control lets you adjust temperatures instantly without the wait.</li>
<li><strong>Save the Sauce</strong>: Induction cooktops stay cool to the touch, so spills don&rsquo;t bake onto the surface. A quick wipe keeps things spotless and stress-free.</li>
<li><strong>Multitask Like a Pro</strong>: With precise heat control, you can juggle boiling pasta and simmering sauce without worrying about one ruining the other.</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A pair of hands adds greens to her pasta sauce while pasta boils." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_perfect-pasta-tips/Appl_perfect-pasta-tips_3.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Multitasking Like a Pro</h2>
<p>Spaghetti night often means more than just boiling pasta. You&rsquo;ve got sauces, sides, and maybe even a little garlic bread action going on. That&rsquo;s where your range&rsquo;s multiple burners come to the rescue, making multitasking in the kitchen a breeze.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Divide and Conquer</strong>: Use one burner for boiling pasta and another for simmering your sauce. This keeps everything moving without bottlenecks.</li>
<li><strong>Cook While You Wait</strong>: Got an extra burner? Use it to saut&eacute; vegetables, warm bread, or even toast breadcrumbs for a fancy garnish.</li>
<li><strong>Stay Organized</strong>: Set timers and arrange your pots and pans so you can keep track of everything. Multitasking is easier when the chaos is under control!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Cleaning Made Easy</h2>
<p>After the feast comes the dreaded cleanup, but your range is designed to make this part of spaghetti night less of a hassle. Whether you&rsquo;ve got a smooth cooktop or removable grates, a few smart moves can keep cleanup quick and stress-free.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Catch Spills Early</strong>: For smooth cooktops, wipe up sauce splatters or water spills as soon as they happen. Warm surfaces make messes easier to clean.</li>
<li><strong>Removable Grates for the Win</strong>: If you have a gas range, pop off the grates and let them soak while you tackle the rest of the dishes.</li>
<li><strong>Clean While You Wait</strong>: Waiting for water to boil? Use that time to pre-clean burners or wipe down surfaces. It&rsquo;s multitasking that pays off later!</li>
</ul>
<p><img alt="A man adds pasta sauce to a small pile of noodles." src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Q1_2025/Appl_perfect-pasta-tips/Appl_perfect-pasta-tips_4.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Bonus: Tips for Making the Best Spaghetti</h2>
<p>Whether it&rsquo;s the perfect al dente pasta or a sauce that sings with flavor, small tweaks can take your spaghetti to the next level. Here are some tried-and-true cooking tips to make your pasta night unforgettable.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Salt the Water Generously</strong>: Think ocean-level salty! This is your only chance to season the pasta itself.</li>
<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t Skip the Stir</strong>: Stir the pasta in the first minute after adding it to the pot. This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking.</li>
<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t Rush the Simmer</strong>: Let your sauce cook low and slow to blend and deepen the flavors. It&rsquo;s worth the wait.</li>
<li><strong>Save Some Pasta Water</strong>: Scoop out a cup of starchy water before draining. It&rsquo;s liquid gold for loosening up sauces or adding extra creaminess.</li>
<li><strong>Skip the Oil</strong>: Adding oil to the water may seem like a good idea, but it can coat the pasta and make it harder for the sauce to stick.</li>
<li><strong>Season as You Go</strong>: Layering flavors with salt, herbs, and spices throughout the cooking process ensures a more balanced and flavorful sauce.</li>
</ol>
<p>By paying attention to these little details, you&rsquo;ll turn an ordinary spaghetti night into something extraordinary&mdash;because the best meals are all about the love you put into them!</p>
<h2>Stir Up Spaghetti Success</h2>
<p>Spaghetti night deserves better than burnt sauce and sticky noodles, especially on National Spaghetti Day! Whether you&rsquo;re boiling, simmering, or multitasking, your range can make all the difference. If you&rsquo;re ready to make every pasta dinner easier&mdash;or explore appliances that fit your cooking style&mdash;our experts at Tony’s Appliance&nbsp;are here for you.

Boil, Simmer, Savor: Stovetop Tips for Perfect Pasta Night

Love your morning cold brew? Learn how a GE fridge can help take your coffee up a notch!

<p><img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/GE-cold-brew4.jpg?w=700" style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="650" /></p>
<p>There&rsquo;s nothing better at putting pep in your step on a dreary Monday morning than a hot cup of joe &ndash; except maybe a chilly glass of cold brew coffee!</p>
<p>Cold brew has been taking the world of coffee by storm recently, and for good reason. Cold brew isn&rsquo;t just iced coffee (which is made by mixing double strength hot coffee with ice): it involves a nearly 24-hour-long process of using cold water to slowly extract all that caffeinated deliciousness from your coffee beans. It can take up to 24 hours to make a perfect batch of cold brew, but when you&rsquo;ve got the recipe just right, the smooth and refreshing flavor of your morning coffee will be well worth the wait!</p>
<p>When it comes to achieving that perfect cold-brewed cuppa joe, one of the most important tools to have at your disposal is a good fridge. Brewing your coffee in the right fridge can make a big difference in the texture, taste, and overall quality of your coffee. That&rsquo;s where GE comes in. If you&rsquo;re interested in entering the world of cold brew, you&rsquo;ll definitely want to keep your eye on a GE fridge. With top-of-the-line features and functions, your GE fridge is the best tool you could have to make that perfect batch!</p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Convenient Storage</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/GE-cold-brew3.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="300" /></p>
<p>GE fridges go all out on storage. Adjustable shelves and deep door racks give you plenty of space to put a French press, coffee carafe, or any special brewing system you might be using for your cold brews. Most other fridges have limited shelf space, forcing you to partially push down your French press plunger or tip the container on its side. This kind of uneven brewing won&rsquo;t do your coffee any favors. But with GE, you&rsquo;ll always have plenty of space to store your cold brew, no matter how big the batch is!</p>
<p>GE also offers fridges with door-in-door storage. That means a panel at the front of the fridge opens independent of the rest of the fridge for easy access to snacks and drinks. So, when you&rsquo;re rolling out of bed before work and all you can think is &ldquo;CAFFEIIIIIINE,&rdquo; you can open up the front of your fridge and have your delicious cold brew right there waiting for you! No stress, no hassle, no more cracked eggs and spilled OJ on the floor when you&rsquo;re digging around for your coffee fix in the early hours of the morning.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Flavor Leakage Prevention</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/GE-cold-brew7.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px; " width="300" /></p>
<p>The biggest challenge of properly storing your cold brew is flavor leakage. Cold brewed coffee has a more complex, delicate flavor than traditional heat-brewed coffee, and that taste can easily be ruined by lingering flavors and odors. Flavors like that old salmon filet or those leftover burritos you&rsquo;ve been keeping in your freezer for emergencies. Yuck. But with GE&rsquo;s TwinChill evaporators, which cycle fridge and freezer air separately, your cold brew won&rsquo;t have any unwanted flavor contamination.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Safer Brewing</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/GE-cold-brew6.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="300" /></p>
<p>Although you don&rsquo;t technically need a refrigerator to brew cold brew coffee, using your GE fridge can make the process much simpler and safer. Lots of people make their &ldquo;cold&rdquo; brews at room temperature, simply leaving the coffee to steep on the counter all day. However, this opens up the possibility of contamination and spoiling, especially if your home tends to be on the warm side.</p>
<p>Plus, leaving your coffee out in the open makes it much easier for kids, pets, or even a groggy, sleep-deprived morning-you to knock it right onto the floor, putting all that precious coffee to waste. It&rsquo;s just not worth the risk. Keep that delicious drink safe in your GE fridge instead!</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Temperature Control</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/GE-cold-brew5.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="300" /></p>
<p>When you open and close your refrigerator throughout the day, the warm air it lets in can change the temperature of the whole fridge. Temperature changes during the cold brewing process can result in an unpredictable batch of coffee &ndash; even if you&rsquo;ve made cold brew a hundred times, one change in temperature can totally throw off those flavors you know and love!</p>
<p>GE&rsquo;s Turbo Cool option is perfect for maintaining an even temperature through the whole dilution process. It keeps the fridge temperature stable no matter how many times you open and close the fridge doors, so daily life doesn&rsquo;t get in the way of an incredible cup of coffee.</p>
<p>When it comes to sleepy mornings, GE and Tony’s Appliance have your back every time. Don&rsquo;t trust your cold brewed coffee out on the counter or in a fridge that won&rsquo;t keep it chilled to perfection! The perfect cold brew is made in a GE every time. For questions about GE&rsquo;s amazing features or how you can improve any food with a GE fridge, come down to our store and talk to one of our expert associates.</p>
