This 12-cup whistling kettle made of thermal-shock-resistant borosilicate glass features a removable lid, heat-resistant phenolic handle, and a drip-free spout. What we really like is how it can be used on gas or electric stovetops, and best of all it’s dishwasher-safe. If you’ve never had a clear glass kettle the thing about it that makes it fun is seeing the water boil. We love knowing before the whistle that the water is about ready to go.

From designer Kim Joonmin comes a concept that is both interesting and space saving – the kitchen light dishwasher. We love combo concepts and this one doesn’t disappoint. We are a little worried about the mess, but perhaps this would work. You open the front and back of the dishwasher to gain access, but we’d also assume you’d need some way to lower it. Also – it would need to be really big and how would the water get [...]

Although we use our dishwashers often, sometimes daily, their inner workings remain a mystery to many of us. Here are some common myths busted for you.
Myth – My dishwasher is broken because there is some water in the bottom after the cycle is finished. Truth – There should usually be some water left in the bottom sump of the dishwasher at the end of a wash. This water keeps the seals moist to avoid them drying out and leaking. When the dishwasher starts, it will first drain for several seconds to remove standing [...]

Here is the second in our steam cleaning series – Steam dishwashers.
Conventional dishwashers produce steam in the drying cycle when leftover water is converted into vapor. But steam dishwashers use steam in the washing phases.
“One of the main reasons you’re seeing more steam dishwashers is because detergent manufacturers have eliminated phosphates,” says Stephen Wright, appliance manager at Nebraska Furniture Mart . “So (conventional) dishwashers aren’t as good at breaking up debris, especially the caked-on stuff.”
According to How Stuff Works, steam dishwashers don’t exclusively use steam as a cleaning method, the user [...]

Back in July ’10 we published a story about sixteen states banning phosphates from dishwasher detergent. Detergent manufacturers have reacted to that ban by removing all but trace amounts of the chemical from their dishwasher detergents.
The response to that article has been loud and clear – the new formulas are a failure.
Phosphates are chemicals responsible for serious cleaning. Phosphorus debates in the cleaning industry began 40 years ago. By 1993, major manufacturers had stopped using it in laundry detergents, says Dennis [...]

We found this rather interesting photo of the kitchen of the future as depicted in Arnold B. Barach’s book, 1975 and the Changes to Come, from 1962. The dishwasher thing looks like a free standing kitchen accessory of what purpose we are not sure. Do those counters flip up? Oh 1975 how you never really saw a kitchen like this except in my school’s cafeteria.

Top appliance makers Whirlpool and Electrolux are raising prices to pass soaring raw material costs on to customers, but their attempts may not pass muster with bargain-hungry shoppers.

Many analysts questioned the timing of the move, especially since consumers in the developed world continue to look for incentives to buy expensive goods like appliances.
