Kitchen Tips To Cook Smarter, Store Better And Clean Easier

Smart storage solutions mean better organization—and less wasted food 

Right now is prime harvesting—and eating!—time for late-summer fruits and veggies like apricots, beets, zucchini, raspberries, peppers and field tomatoes. And, if you’re like us, you want to make sure you use them up, rather than surrender them to the compost. It’s always a challenge to store delicate foods separately from big, bulky items while somehow keeping everything in view. A fridge like Whirlpool’s 4 Door Refrigerator offers several solutions to such food-storing conundrums.

Designed with purposeful spaces, including two large auto-humidity-controlled crispers and one smaller crisper in the centre, it allows you to clearly determine what ingredients you have for tonight’s maple-cider chicken and nutty quinoa. Broccoli and red peppers in the crisper? Check. Favourite cheese right at hand in the convenient Refrigerator Exterior Drawer? Check. The leftover rotisserie chicken ready on the eye-level Prep & Store Shelf? Check. When the dish is assembled, you can pluck those bread crumbs you made out of leftover sourdough from the top of the Triple-Tiered Freezer and pop it in the oven. And when you’re ready to eat, that bottle of wine you’ve been cooling is easily retrieved from the adjustable Tuck Shelf that handles tall items.

Family-friendly designs that make life easier

Whirlpool Brand’s refrigerators are conceived with the whole family in mind. Sensors that automatically adjust humidity levels maintain a consistent temperature, even when fridge doors are frequently opened and closed. Plus, shelves can be placed at eye level for both adults and kids, designating “zones” that allow little ones to grab their own healthy snacks, while the prized mac and cheese leftovers are placed out of reach, waiting for mom. 

Tech-savvy cooking innovations put meals on the table fast

Innovative technology is a game changer when it comes to getting wholesome dishes on the table in a fraction of the usual time. Whirlpool’s Single Smart Wall Oven with Air Fry and 30-Inch Induction Cooktop, for example, is able to do the same things you always do except faster, more efficiently and with economical results. 

Think batch cooking. The first of fall’s fresh crops are arriving in-store, so it’s the perfect time to make and freeze extra tomato sauce and chili. Peeled tomatoes can be prepped in a jiffy with the Induction Cooktop’s Fast Boil technology, which uses dedicated cookware to boil water up to 25 per cent faster,¹ while the Assisted Boil function² alerts you when the water is at the right temperature to drop your tomatoes in. While that’s happening, start on your ground meat using the Assisted Pan Frying function.³ This is cooking ahead of the curve.

Fall has us thinking of pumpkin spice cake, but if your partner prefers homemade apple pie, that’s OK, too. Among its eight multitasking cooking modes, the Single Smart Wall Oven offers a True Convection setting that lets you cook multiple dishes at once, so everyone’s happy. If you have to pull a pie out of the freezer for unexpected guests, the Frozen Bake™ and Keep Warm settings have you covered. And because this is a smart oven,⁴ you can preheat it remotely through the app and cut the wait time when you’re back in the kitchen. 

Easy-care options mean quick clean up

So, the meal has been cooked and eaten in record time; the last thing you want is to deal with a lengthy cleanup. Thankfully, Whirlpool Brand thought of this, too. 

No need for pre-rinsing dishes and scrubbing away baked-on grease and grime with Whirlpool’s Fingerprint Resistant Large Capacity Dishwasher with 3^rd Rack—because, you guessed it, three racks receive a targeted triple-wash spray that leaves everything spotless the first time out. The adjustable second rack can be raised and lowered to make room for tall items like blender jars, and larger serveware pieces can fit when you move or separate the silverware basket. A removable third rack up top holds smaller bowls, mugs and overflow silverware to free up space down below.

The Induction Cooktop stays cool to the touch, stopping baked-on messes before they start, while the touch-activated controls require only a wipe-down. And while the dishwasher’s running, you can steam clean your Single Smart Wall Oven with Air Fry using just heat and 1¼ cups of water. Everyday spills disappear with no scrubbing required.

With innovative technology that makes storing and cooking food simpler and faster, Whirlpool Brand’s appliances are as flexible and hard-working as you are. Learn more about their new kitchen lineup and how their tech can help make your life easier.
