the big thing your kitchen should work for you, save you time, be more efficient help you get your household chores done more quickly. i went to the bosch home appliances booth. they make the best dishwashers, so quiet.
but they have done something to revolutionize the dishwasher called my wave rock technology. is equipping you open the dishwasher you have the bottom rack in the middle rack and for a lot of us that is the top rack there is wasted space at the top.
so they added a third rack to the dishwasher with this my way rack. yes you can put in utensils and spatulas and things that you are cooking but super maximized. making up things like bowls and cups so every single inch of
space in the dishwasher can be used for washing your dishes. definitely helpful. let's go into making your home or house your home. what are tips for making a space entirely your own? all about personalization and customization.
there is a company based out of temple, texas called wilson are. i stopped by their booth and they basically make services. courts and solid surfaces and laminate and metallics. anything you can imagine they can make it.
as a designer i like to think outside the box or countertop box a little bit. wilson art has shown how you can take laminate and use it going vertically as a surface on the walls and mix in strips of beautiful, real metal edging like julie for the kitchen.
on the tv show we use wilson art courts because it is nonporous. the great thing is when we are cooking healthy things like turmeric and beets that can stain marble or granite we wipe it right up with a damp towel because no maintenance services
really is the best thing you can do for your kitchen. the less we have to clean, the less we have to maintain, the more time we save. it makes a beautiful kitchen too. i like that, the less we have to clean.
let's talk about creating a kitchen that is both glamorous and sustainable. for years we had to choose between the two but we don't want to do that. how do we get the best of both worlds? it is my motto and lifestyle
means sustainability. the great thing is the marketplace is really responding to consumer demand for more energy and water efficient products. right now one of the best things you can do is a look for energy star certified products
for your home but she's things that work in your kitchen. for me a refrigerator freezer is probably the biggest energy hog. you want to make sure you get the right one that works for i personally do not put a lot of things in the freezer.
i like fresh ingredients. at bosch they have an 18-inch freezer. you still have a freezer for a screen and things you want to have, that they can maximize the space and have a larger refrigerator for fresh ingredients.
if you like to cook ahead and you like to have a whole arsenal of things ready to go in your freezer, get the larger my tip is the more you pack your freezer, the more energy efficient it is going to be. because you have blocks of frozen things in there so it
uses less energy to keep things frozen. customized for the way you live, the way you cook and the way your family eats everyday. danny, naturally danny seo pick this up for more tips.
