Everybody loves a BBQ, right? Whether it's a quintessentially Australian experience on a roasting hot summer's day, or, as I am more familiar with, a battle under grey skies and umbrellas in the UK, there's a Neanderthal excitement associated with cooking outdoors. The varieties of food, the combination of smells and the sense of healthy eating is enjoyed in gardens and beaches the world over. But when winter ... Read more

As much of Australia approaches the end of the barbecue season many a household will be left with half empty bottles and jars of tomato sauce, barbecue, sweet chilli, mustard and mayo. How long do condiments last? The openings are probably pretty gunky by now, but the sauces are still good to go and if you store them properly they might even stick around for next summer. Due to their high ... Read more

After months of writing about appliance news, events, quips and quirks it's no wonder I have the odd appliance dream. The washing machine is yet to chase me down the road but there have been cases of the 'too traumatic to untangle vacuum hose' and 'the never ending wet washing basket' to make me wonder: is my subconscious saying I shouldn't vacuum any more (please, let it ...

We all love guests and the companionship they bring, but being a host is a big responsibility, which is made trickier when guests take you by surprise.  If a long-lost relative comes calling, a child organises an impromptu sleepover, or an old friend drops by unannounced, how can you fulfil your hosting duties with flair and make an impression on your guests? Keeping your guests well-fed is ... Read more

Australians love barbecues and the weekend after Australia Day is a great mid-summer opportunity to clean up the pride and joy of the backyard. Though many an east coast barbie was rained out yesterday, southern and western Australia had a cracker chance to celebrate in true blue style, snags galore. Even the odd NSW beach saw tarps and barbies come out as the afternoon cleared. Of course, a well loved barbie also means that ... Read more

Don’t you hate it when you think you have done all the right researching, all the right measuring and all the right space adjustments but once you buy the appliance it doesn’t fit in the space intended! This has happened to many customers, many times. If you are renovating with a builder, do not purely rely on the builder. Make sure it is correct yourself. It is ... Read more

Over the first weekend of July Appliances Online attended the Good Food & Wine Show at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour. With a host of stalls to wander through and samples aplenty to distract our tastebuds, we were impressed to find ourselves simply unable to walk past the Fisher & Paykel exhibit. Featuring a slick look that focused on the black and white ... Read more
