Dinner With Surjit from Capital Range

leave a comment »

Last night I had the pleasure of breaking bread with Surjit Kalsi from Capital Range co, along with his lovely wife and other folks. I walked away from the dinner with a new friend as well as a deeper appreciation for the quality and pride that is poured into the Capital cooking products. I was sold on Capital’s attention to detail and the overall quality of their product but after last night’s long conversation with Surjit, suffice to say that this man literally loves his product!
If you are in the market for a high end cooking producto definitely consider Capital. This man stands behind his product completely.

Dinner With Surjit from Capital Range

leave a comment »

Heading into NYC to talk turkey with Surjit Kalsi from Capital Range Corp.
Man is a legend in this business. Had his hands involved with the Garland stove, the original Viking range, creator of DCS and Capital. I hear he can levitate as well.
Lots of info coming down the pike…stay tuned!

Outdoor Kitchens 2013: DCS..The Grill Review

leave a comment »

After we were finished taping we had almost 25 minutes of footage on hand.
25 mins? Holy shizzle, the Appliance Dude can rap when it comes to grills.
We edited down to 10 minutes and I’ll have a part 2 which brings up a few other points about the DCS grills.
All in all – DCS is the patriarch of outdoor pro grills. Your money is well spent here.
Hit it!

PS – YouTube’s kicks the Sh&% out of the video quality during the upload. To watch in HD just toggle the little switch on the bottom of the video window.

Outdoor Kitchens 2013 – My Wolf Grill Gets a Cleaning

leave a comment »

One of the rites for my spring kickoff is the annual cleaning of our Wolf OG36grill. That cleansing, courtesy of my grill technicians, is an hour-long process which transforms the OG36 from the brink of utter filth to a pristine stainless steel grilling machine.
Check out the pics below. Seared tuna’s on folks!

The OG36 Prepared for It's Spring Cleaning

Clean ME!

Clean Me....Please!

The Filth has No Bounds. Grates, Briquettes, Burners...CHARRED!

Presto!

Look at those grates, those briquettes...beautiful

Spotless. Kudos to my man for this job. I almost don't want to cook on it now!

Bosch SHE7ER55UC: Buy This Dishwasher. Now.

leave a comment »

Bosch is preparing for the introduction of an entirely new dishwasher platform that will debut in June. That means there are sick deals to be had right now on their current dishwashers. I am focusing on the SHE7ER55UC which is part of the 800+ series, the top of the line offering from Bosch. Prices have just dropped
precipitously and with the added bonus of a rebate this is too good of an offer to pass. These dw’s were selling for over $1200 when they were first introduced 2 years ago and they can be had for hundreds and hundreds less. Act now or forever hold your peace! Video to come on this….

The stately and sultry Bosch SHE7ER55UC. Never has dishwashing been so attractive!

Capital Range Booty Fest at AD Show

leave a comment »

Had to break out the iPhone as I was checking out Capital’s wares at the Architectural Digest show the other week. You will notice that the Dual Fuel “Connoisseurian” series was on display again (as it was last year). We received a ton of feedback about that range and were told that it would be out in the summer of 2012, which then became the Fall of 2012, which then became…

I am now assured that these ranges will be out in the late Spring/early Summer so let’s hold Capital to these dates and get ready to welcome another entrant to the dual fuel landscape.

Review: Electrolux Icon Appliances

leave a comment »

Electrolux Icon.
This is one line of appliances that has befuddled me for years.
Are you in? Are you out? Are you high end? Are you middle class on steroids?
Where’s Kelly Ripa?

It’s shame that there has been so much confusion (and a muddled marketing message) on Icon because they are good products (yes, they work and they look nice) and there is a large breadth of product to choose from. My lil’ snoop at ELX has told me that the company is committed to Icon and there will be a major refresh on the way in 2014.
Good news, now check out the current offerings right here, served up Appliance Dude style…

Outdoor Kitchen Season is Here

with one comment

Outdoor kitchen inquiries are starting to build. Oh, I’m not talking just a simple Weber grill stuck in a corner of your outdoor space. I’m talking full-on kitchens: grills, outdoor fridges, warming drawers, kegerators, ice makers, etc etc etc.

What am I selling this year? For the full suite of outdoor kitchens we’ll probably move a decent amount of Lynx and DCS equipment as they have the most comprehensive outdoor lineup. I’m sure there will be a fair amount of Wolf grills (which I currently own) as well. This will be the first full season with Viking outdoor, so we’ll have to see if there is movement on that line. It’s hard to tell with the new owners rocking the Viking ship so hard in their initial stages of ownership, so I don’t know what availability will look like.

So if you have an existing grill it’s never too early to get it cleaned and primed for Spring searing action.
And if you are in the market for one, look no further than Curto’s for your outdoor kitchen!
