Eating is more than a daily task. It&rsquo;s a way of socializing. It&rsquo;s a way of broadening your horizons. It&rsquo;s a way of life for some people. But if you have celiac disease, you may feel limited in these areas.
This month is officially National Celiac Disease Awareness Month, and it&rsquo;s all about bringing attention to the autoimmune digestive condition. Unfortunately, people with celiac disease are unable to eat gluten which mean their bodies can&rsquo;t process wheat, rye, or barley. And you know what wheat, rye, and barley is in? Everything.
Well, almost. But, because there is no cure, eating gluten-free is the answer, and sometimes a challenge. One in 100 people worldwide are affected according to the Celiac Disease Foundation, so if you are affected by this disease, here are some helpful gluten-free recipes that&rsquo;ll keep your kitchen life on the healthy side.
1. Grains for Everyone
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/appliance-gluten3.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="300" />
Noodle dishes may be filled with gluten and out of the question, but there&rsquo;s nothing about these grains that should keep you away. Get the carbs you&rsquo;ve been needing with a little help from either rice or quinoa. These two are the perfect sources of fiber and magnesium that all bodies need. Get bold in your cooking by mixing both ingredients and making this 100 percent gluten-free <a href="https://glutenfreehomemaker.com/rice-quinoa-pilaf/">Rice &amp; Quinoa Pilaf dish</a>. Use the right appliances, such as one of our powerful cooktops from your favorite name brand, to step up your pilaf game and make your meals taste a whole lot better.
2. Cereal for Celiac

One of the hardest meals of the day for someone with celiac disease is breakfast. Think about it: Most breakfast foods are filled with wheat, making this meal of the day a hard one to mix up. But if you are someone who is craving more than just bacon and eggs for your morning chow down, you&rsquo;ll be happy to know that <a href="https://www.cheerios.com/our-gluten-free-process/">Cheerios</a> are proud to offer a gluten-free cereal. Many cereals have gluten and are not safe to eat for someone with celiac disease &ndash; but luckily, you&rsquo;ve got Cheerios on your side.
3. Brownies with a Secret Ingredient

Dessert is another hard meal for someone with celiac disease, as it tends to consist of floury ingredients which &ndash; you guessed it &ndash; contain wheat. But, because the world is full of beautiful things, such as bloggers and chefs and bloggers that are chefs, we can truly count on the internet to find us a gluten-free dessert worth devouring.
Whether you consume gluten or not, these <a href="https://jerryjamesstone.com/recipe/coffee-black-bean-brownies-gluten-free/">Coffee &amp; Black Bean Brownies</a> will have you drooling for more. If you are a lover of beans and a lover of coffee, this treat was made for you.
With the right appliances, you&rsquo;ll be able to perfect this recipe to a T. Check out the variety of ranges, cooktops, and ovens at our store to find out how you can upgrade your kitchen to the next level. And, you can find more delightful coffee and gluten-free munchies from Jerry James Stone with his book &ldquo;<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/583892313/made-with-coffee-signed-copy">Made with Coffee</a>.&rdquo;
If you are someone who doesn&rsquo;t have celiac disease, bringing awareness to this autoimmune disorder can really help in the culinary world. Help make a difference by cooking up some of these recipes in your range and opening your family and friends taste buds up to a gluten-free life.

Gluten-Free Foods to Make for Celiac Awareness Month

Appliances, such as your range, tend to get dirty pretty quickly - even if they don’t look like it! Learn where you need to be cleaning your range so your kitchen continues to be germ free.

<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Appliance-dirty-range2.jpg?w=700" style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="650" />
If we&rsquo;re being honest here, kitchens are icky places. Don&rsquo;t get us wrong, they have the ability to be rather clean and germ-free, but if you continue cleaning them the way you are, you&rsquo;ll never get away from the constantly growing bacteria living in the crevices of your appliances.
If there&rsquo;s one appliance that seems to do a lot of the work in your kitchen, it&rsquo;s the range. From spills to grease splatters, this major appliance tends to get the most use, and the most messes.
But, instead of just focusing on the obvious cleanups, we want to help you really sanitize the scum out, which means doing more than just spraying a simple solution inside your range oven and wiping it down.
It requires a little more detail work. Follow these steps to clean the most surprisingly dirty spots of your range, so your kitchen stays a hygienic place for cooking food.
1. Get a Handle on it
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Appliance-dirty-range1.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="250" />
If you are someone who tends to wash doorknobs and drawer pulls, we probably don&rsquo;t need to lecture you about washing your range oven handle. But, it&rsquo;s better to be safe than sorry! Can you count the amount of times you&rsquo;ve opened your range oven when your hands were covered in food? It&rsquo;s not at the top of most people&rsquo;s priority list to wash our hands before opening the oven, but maybe it should be.
Door handles tend to harbor more harmful germs than most surfaces and if not washed off correctly, will create bacteria colonies! In any case, taking the time to at least clean off your oven&rsquo;s handle after a meal will save you from spreading germs to other family members who also like to cook.
2. Rack on
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Appliance-dirty-range3.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="250" />
The racks inside your range oven may get immersed in an intense amount of heat, but that in no way means they are sanitized. Every month or so, fill your sink with hot water and soap and let your racks soak in them for 30 minutes to an hour. If your sink is too small to fit them, find an empty bin to fill with hot water and soap.
Once they are done soaking, the grime should just wipe off with a washcloth. Just like butter.
3. Grate Expectations
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Appliance-dirty-range4.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="250" />
Just like the racks of your range&rsquo;s oven, if you have a gas cooktop, the grates will need some lovin&rsquo; to keep them from bacteria&rsquo;s reach. Lifting them up and cleaning under and around will not fix the issue &ndash; they may need a good soaking as well. Follow step 2, but for your cooktop&rsquo;s grates, and that will clear up most of the germs you&rsquo;re trying to rid yourself of.
Remember, hot water is key to the cleaning process. We also recommend using regular kitchen gloves to ensure your hands stay safe and clean.&nbsp;





4. A Land Down Under
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Appliance-dirty-range5.jpg?w=700" style="float: left; padding-right: 25px;" width="250" />
Underneath your range is like a scary abyss. It&rsquo;s a place where all the escaped leftovers go to die and attract other unwelcome things. This is exactly why you must look under your appliance and wipe everything up. We suggest either pulling your range all the way out so you can clean it, or using a duster that is thin enough to go under your range and wipe away the debris. It may seem spooky under there, but just remember, it&rsquo;s more afraid of you than you are if it.
Of course, some ranges are beyond help, and you may just need to get a new one. If you&rsquo;re in the market for a new range, be sure to check out the selection we&rsquo;ve got going at our store! And once you have it, help it stay in good condition by cleaning it EVERYWHERE. That way it will be fresh, clean, and ready to take on your food endeavors while keeping you safe from harm&rsquo;s way.

How to Clean the 4 Parts of Your Range that Get the Dirtiest

Let's be honest, a range hood is a cooking game-changer. Once you have found the perfect range for your kitchen, check out these quick and easy installation tips.

<img alt="The Basics of Installing a Range Hood" height="389" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Appliance _ The Basics of Installing a Range Hood1.jpg?w=700" style="width: 396px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
The Basics of Installing a Range Hood
A range hood is one of the most important appliances to have in your kitchen: it&rsquo;s a large vent that circulates fresh air into the room, and keeps smoke, heat, and odors from getting in your way while you cook. A high-quality range hood is a must-have for any cooking enthusiast, but if your home doesn&rsquo;t come with one built in -- or if your old one is worn out -- installing a new hood can seem like a daunting task.
However, it only takes a few simple tools and some know-how to install a range hood in your kitchen. They come in a variety of sizes, strengths, and configurations, so you&rsquo;ll need to check the manufacturer guide for precise instructions, but these basic guidelines will help you on your way to getting your kitchen cooking-ready.
Installation Basics
1. Pick out the right range hood. Your choice will depend on how much you cook and how your kitchen is set up. If you have a clear space above your stove, you can use more sophisticated chimney, island, or wall mount hoods, but if your stove is directly under cabinets, you&rsquo;ll have to opt for an undercabinet hood. Undercabinet hoods tend to be easier to install, since many of them don&rsquo;t require a duct leading outside the house, but be aware that models which recirculate air rather than venting it may not be as effective.
2. Take safety precautions. Turn off the power to your kitchen and lock the panel box to make sure no one turns the electricity back on until you&rsquo;re done. Be sure to wear goggles, gloves, and a mask while you work.
3. Check your venting. If you want to install a vented hood, make sure you have the proper ductwork and a range hood that matches it. Undercabinet hoods typically have ducting either running up through the cabinets above, or back through the wall behind it. If you&rsquo;re installing new venting for your range hood, be sure that it doesn&rsquo;t end in the attic or against a wall. All vents should lead outside the house, to avoid heat buildup and potential fire hazards.
<img alt="The Basics of Installing a Range Hood" height="334" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Appliance _ The Basics of Installing a Range Hood2.jpg?w=700" style="width: 501px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />
4. Remove your old hood, if you have one. After shutting off the power, open up the panel covering the electrical wiring on your old hood and disconnect all the wires. If you have an undercabinet hood, loosen the screws that attach it to the cabinet above, but don&rsquo;t remove them completely. You should be able to slide the hood off the screws. Once you&rsquo;ve set the old hood aside, remove the screws from the cabinet.
5. Make sure the new hood fits correctly. Depending on the type of hood and stove, the new hood should be about 20 to 30 inches above the surface of the stovetop. Hoods can hang slightly lower over electric stoves as compared to gas-powered. For optimal results, make sure the range hood covers the whole cooking area, with a 3-inch overhang on all sides, if possible.
6. Reconnect your new range hood. Hold the new hood in place and thread the wires from the wall through a small hole in the back of the hood. There should be one black and one white wire coming from the wall, as well as two black wires and two white wires coming from the hood. Connect the two black wires from your hood to the black wire on the wall, and the two white wires from your hood to the white wire on the wall using wire connectors. Tuck the wires away, replace the panel cover, then screw the hood in place using the type of screws recommended by the manufacturer. Turn your power back on and test it out to make sure your new range hood is fully functional.
