" Although there -- that fabulous executive kitchen down in the basement. Still for a family needs to be able to -- hamburger breakfast or whatever in this little space in the corners just barely ten by ten. And we've just get kind of you know. Home home center bought cabinets that are being put in. And over here we have a different kind of oven being installed Todd graves from GE is here to explain it to us about or it's not. This is essentially. Cooking with light right that's right that's right these high power halogen light and Coke oven quality foods in Africa before the time. What we've got here's the configuration -- above the normal cooktop in the kitchen. And as you can see here we've got a minute to think -- cook top smoke -- And then it up and out of the kitchen through the duct work here right and it just mounts on that back place right that's threat today. And Howard -- here going to solid you're gonna see how easy it is to install. This is a standard thirty inch wide installation. I remember the used to make. Microwave ovens that we're combination. The clean and there were combination exhaust hood in the microwave that's right and and designed to replace that's exactly. It's halogen cookies that's right and and the what we've done it's packaged it with a microwave oven to get the convenience of microwave and halogen cooking alone single. So just hangs up Iraq on the back wall and a couple of bolts hold that place on the top. How much voltage are really here that's 240 volt circuit OK so -- when you talked. Cooking light do you really mean that's allow light we use a lot of power that's how we get speak."

" How does that work well let me let me I've got something to -- for justice and that's that the clock here. And you can see the easy to use control. But -- crescent and it makes depressant okay. It's in the interior here we've got halogen bulbs above and below the cooking surface -- place food in their closet. And maybe advantage and very easy to use. But it cooked oppressive rule if this press speed -- it to the first things abroad list of categories of foods we're gonna do breads. And dial down to crescent rolls Italy and ask you what kind of record -- Once repressive roles and -- and ask you -- before packer an eight pack. And -- that in this case we're looking at warp crack. So it's gonna take three minutes thirty seconds to start to press the start."

" We'll lights come -- but in there you can see what's happening that's right -- them right like it's actually cooking it. Extremely powerful and the heat from the light is focused directly on whatever it is you're cooking as opposed to the whole space that's right it's -- very efficient way to cut. OK just a couple of things -- ago when I can see that they're even getting tough round yeah that's right that's the power halogen. Now what he's is that the real market for this type of well we think families on the go with -- don't have time to put today. They're really going to see a benefit. Product it's relatively large space you can put old chicken and equipment that's right we can do apart the sixth. We'll -- and 45 minutes as opposed to an hour and 21 hour hour forty minutes of the regular active. And he's not finished well action itself off now to try to cool it down."

Microwave Safety
Microwave Safety

Here's another great tip from BobVila.com. Microwave ovens are one of those household technologies most of us use a lot but don t really understand: Is nuked food good for you and is exposure to microwaves bad for you? While they are a form of electromagnetic radiation, microwaves are only slightly more powerful than the waves used to transmit radio and TV signals, and they re not nearly as powerful as x-rays or even the ultraviolet rays of the sun. The Food and Drug Administration monitors microwave ovens and limits microwave emissions to much lower levels than those known to harm people, measured just outside the oven. Only 20 inches away, emissions are one one-hundredth that amount, so to avoid even low levels of exposure, just step away. The FDA requires two independent interlock systems and a monitoring system to stop the production of microwaves the moment the latch is released or the door is opened, so they can t actually sneak out. Clean your oven often, especially around the seals. If the door, hinges or latch have been damaged or if it s been dropped or damaged by a fire, it s time for a new oven. While the microwaves from your oven can t burn you, you can still burn yourself by heating food too long or using metal or other containers that aren t recommended in your manual. Microwaves cook your food not from the inside out, as the mythology goes, but by vibrating water molecules from the outside in. Because you re only heating the food, not the space around it, and for less time, microwaving your food can actually save energy and retain more nutrients than conventional cooking.

Toto Ultra Low-Flow Toilet Installed
Toto Ultra Low-Flow Toilet Installed

Lenora Campos from Toto, USA, is with Bob for the installation of the Nexus two-piece, porcelain toilet. The design is inspired by nature, with distinct lines that hide the plumbing and suggest a rock outcropping. All Toto toilets are 1.6-gallon flush models. They flush effectively the first time because a special G-Max flush system is designed to clear waste completely through the bowl and the fully-glazed trap way. This Washlet 6300 has a wash feature and a dryer to completely eliminate the need for toilet paper. A remote control system enables homeowners to set the water, seat, and dryer temperatures and to automatically clean the wand. The system also has an energy-saving mode that powers down during periods of infrequent use. These washlets sell well throughout the world, including Japan where washlet sales outpace those of microwave ovens.

The kitchen is set for company, but the counters are clean and uncluttered. Appliances in white complement the adjacent living space in this open-plan apartment. The Whirlpool double-door refridgerator in white, with lots of storage and features, blends with the oven and cooktop, also from Whirlpool, and the Energy Star dishwasher with high-end features like wine-glass racks and special wash cycles. Bob challenged the crew to outfit the kitchen completely by shopping online from Sears.com. Juicers, pots, pans, blender, combination microwave-convection oven, coffee grinder and brewer, were all selected, delivered, and tucked away in this getaway kitchen designed for easy entertaining.
