Introducing Frigidaire’s New Portable Induction Cooker

Frigidaire introduces a new portable induction cooker that offers a safe and precise cooking experience for small spaces where counter space is at a premium.

Cook great meals anywhere with Frigidaire’s New Portable Induction Cooker! On sale for $199.00 from AP Wagner!

Wildly popular in Europe, this induction cooker is similar to traditional hotplate burners in terms of size and shape. However, because it cooks using induction technology the surface of the cooker never gets hot. There are no carcinogenic fumes or open flames to worry about which makes it safe for family gatherings (especially around children) and for small, closed cooking spaces like boats, yachts, and basements.

How does it work?
In the process of induction cooking, electricity powers an induction coil located under the burner’s surface. When the proper cookware is used — iron, enamel and some stainless steel — creating a magnetic field between the surface of the element and cookware placed on the burner’s surface. The burner element itself does not produce heat, the heat is actually produced by the pot or pan itself through eddy currents generated within the metal. If the field is broken, i.e. by the pan being removed, the current ceases to exist and heat is stopped immediately.

Using induction technology is a more energy efficient as less energy is lost to heat transfer from burner to pan to food. Because the induction cooker requires no warm up time it can quickly boil water and prepare food. Its tap touches electronics and six power levels allows for a precise and controlled cooking experience.

The induction cooker uses 110 voltages, so it works in any standard North American outlet. The ceramic plate and no-heat surface makes cleaning easy and its 10 ¼”diameter cooking area means it accommodates nearly all magnetic-bottom cookware in the U.S. and Canada.

The induction cooker works** with cookware made with a magnetic bottom and works well with stainless steel, iron, and enamel cookware and this cooker comes with a simple magnet in order to test cook ware for proper use. For further safety, this cooker features an automatic pan sensor which detects improper cookware when used on it, giving off an audible beep warning.

Jacoby Appliance Parts Store moves and becomes new AP Wagner Appliance Parts Store

Jacoby Appliance Parts has moved its appliance parts store to 15 Industrial Park Rd. in Albany, N.Y. This has been the location of their parent company, AP Wagner.  With the move, Jacoby Appliance Parts will do business as AP Wagner Appliance Parts.  Jacoby Appliance Parts was formerly located at 1656 Central Ave. in Albany.

“We had two facilities in the Albany area and we wanted to consolidate them, said Mike Taggart, Director of Marketing for AP Wagner.  ”We have a 112,000-square foot warehouse at 15 Industrial Park Road that houses and ships parts for our website business, so it just made sense to have our store in the same building.  Plus, the 15 Industrial Road location is a more central location and is right off of the toll-free section of the I-90 New York State Thruway, so it’s easily and quickly accessible to customers. “

AP Wagner acquired the Jacoby Appliance Parts chain in March of 2008. 1656 Central Ave. was a former Jacoby Appliance Parts store location.

“The Jacoby employees have helped the people of Albany with their appliance parts needs at the Central Ave. location for over 30 years,” said Taggart.  ”We would like our customers to know that they will continue to get the same great service at our new location, along with an improved selection of appliance parts and accessories.”

AP Wagner sells factory-direct appliance parts to the consumer. AP Wagner carries appliance parts for all major household appliances including dishwasher, refrigerators, clothes dryers, washers and more.

Founded in 1928, AP Wagner is one of North America’s largest multi-national distributors of appliance parts and accessories and has stores in the U.S. and Canada.

Recycle old refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers at no charge

Allegheny County residents in Pittsburgh, Penn., can recycle their old refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers at no charge

If you live in Allegheny County in Pittsburgh, Penn., you can have your old refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers and other old household appliances that contain refrigerants, picked up and disposed of for free, thanks to a grant from the county’s Clean Air Fund.

The program aims to count down on illegal dumping, save landfill space, and to prevent the release of refrigerant gases that deplete the ozone layer which is harmful to human health.

Residents from the county can arrange for a curbside pickup by calling 1-888-GO-FREON (1-888-463-7366). If you live in the western suburbs, call 412-279-6001.

“The Appliance Warehouse and Parkway Heating and Air Conditioning are carrying out the program under contracts with the Allegheny County Health Department, ” according to an article appearing online on the South Pittsburgh Reporter’s website.

Read the entire article online here: County recycling freon appliances at no charge.

I really applaud the Allegheny County Health Department for undertaking this important environmental and health-related issue. I checked out their website and they seem to have other valuable programs going on available to county residents, including a Smoke Alarm giveaway.
