In my kitchen I have oak cabinets and oak wood laminant flooring. I really want stainless steel appliances. Right now my counter tops are butcher block, but I don’t care what color they are, I just really like the looks of the stainless steel. My question is will the stainless steel work with the oak color and a basically western style decor? Also, what color countertops would you chose if this combination works?

I think stainless steel appliances will work with just about any cabinet type or color. Stainless steel is basically a neutral color. In general, countertop colors come in almost any color you can imagine. Most home centers/cabinet places have laminate samples that you can bring home to compare against your cabinets. Choose a color that you like, keeping in mind that neutral colors will help with the resale of your home. I tend to pick lighter beiges or grays with some sort of pattern to them. A pattern like a granite look or other stone looks nice, pulls in some other colors and crumbs show up less if you aren’t always wiping your counters down. My kitchen (brand new!) right now has a black/beige granite pattern with medium reddish oak cabinets and stainless appliances. I love the way it looks!

I want to buy this model, but 2 users on Epinions.com are reporting that the Omega 8005 has a defect where it grinds plastic particles into the juice. I guess if you run the machine without putting anything in for a couple minutes, according to the reviews, "the rotating auger grinds against the juicing insert actually scraping off trace amounts of the plastic." Can anyone dispel this? Thanks.

I have this juicer and love it. I’ve not personally encountered this little "glitch" they speak of BUT, here’s what I did to prevent it from happening. When brought it home, unpacked it, I poured a bit of olive oil onto a paper towel, wiped down the inside, and then washed it with hot and soapy water. The olive oil lubricates and coats without leaving a residue. It’s rather like "seasoning" a new skillet prior to using it. If you do not have olive oil, another mild thick oil will do the trick. I’d not recommend vegetable oil or a low-grade oil.

Not many people know a lot about good nutrition. And I mean really know. Most teens aren’t even required to take a basic nutrition class in school. However, nutrition is the one thing in life that affects your whole life. Good or bad nutrition habits can affect your emotions, your your physical features including your skin, hair and bodyshape, and even how you treat others. Your nutrition habits will also have major effects on your health now and in the future. So how important is nutrition in your life?

Nutrition is hugely important in my life. Fresh fruit and veges and leane red meat. Lots of fish and turkey for protein. My body is a temple and I need to treat it right to keep my insides healthy. I also try to eat food witha high water content, water melons and so on. Fresh and natural is the key to a good inside. But if there is more I need to know please let me know.

I hope I answered you question You can tell how unhealthy you are by your bowel movements and its consitance( I know gross) but its true. As a 28 year old it is a high priority to keep in peak physical fitness. Although not a teen I still consider ymself as excited and energetic as a teen. Due to good nutrition of course:)

I would like to make my own vegetable and fruit smoothies, soups and other blended food but I’m confused which small appliance to buy. They all seem to do the same thing but how come they’re called differently? What do you think I should get?

Food Processor: chops, grates food. Using different blades you can do different preps.

Blender: Chops, grates, crushes ice, & makes food much finer to the point of like a smoothie

Smoothie Makers: are usually not as powerful as a good Blender. They are much more limited in there uses that either a food Processor or Blender

Juicer: Extracts & separates the pulp of the fruit or veggie from the juice.

I own a Blender with a small food processor attachement(Hamilton Beech) & a Juicer(Jack LaLanne). I find the 2 are what I need for my healthy diet & lifetstyle. Both are moderately priced & I am pleased with the work they do.
My daughter owns a Vitamix Blender & a Champion Juicer & luvs them both. They are much more upscale than I have.
I hope this was helpful.

I’m moving into an apartment in a week, and am trying to plan what I should buy for it. The kitchen already has an oven, microwave, etc… so what I’m looking for are small appliances like a toaster, Foreman grill, and so on. I’m a rookie when it comes to kitchens, so I’m wondering what the most important, most versatile, and most cost effective appliances I can buy are. So far, I’m planning on a toaster, pressure cooker and an electric contract grill. What else should I get?

Kettle/coffee maker. it really depends on your lifestyle and what you like and dont like. Go to the shops and have a look around to see what you need

I’m about to buy a step up/ down voltage adapter that would convert 110 V- 220 V/ 220 V- 110 V. It’s a 60 watt adapter. Wonder what appliances can and cannot work with that?

Thanks

You need to check the label on each appliance to see how many WATTS it pulls. You need to keep the watts at 60 or less.

Example, a 1400 watt hair dryer would NOT work.
A lamp with a 100 watt bulb would NOT work.

Exceeding the watt requirement can damage the adapter and possible cause a fire. You might also damage the appliance.

I need to know about maintenance nutrition, sporting or working nutrition and energy feeds, and gestation/lactation nutrition for a horse. I prefer holistic methods if possible but any information would do.

The above answer is good, but if you are looking for a more holistic and natural diet, consider this. A normal horse should consume 5% of its bodily weight daily in food, 2% of that should be in hay or pasture. A 1200lb horse should eat 60lbs of feed a day providing he is being exercised, 24-30lbs of that should be hay or pasture. Maintenance diets should make up 3% of the horse’s weight and can mainly consist of roughage (hay). Pregnant mares require balanced vitamins and minerals, good hay and grass are a must, sunlight is important too for vitamin D. Many feed stores carry natural supplements for your horses. I recommend feeding flax seed as it is high in vitamins Amino and fatty acids which are very important (buy it whole and grind it fresh every day with a coffee grinder ) it looses potency if purchased ground and they will not digest it if it is whole.
