Frigidaire gave me gas.

Posted bycasey coombsPosted inToo lazy to label.

You know how you hear about contests or giveaways or programs and a specific person pops into your head, like “HOLY CRAP SHE WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THAT!”

Well the program was the second round of MomCentral’s Frigidaire Test Drive Campaign and the person who found out was Emily and the person she told was me. New house, borrowed appliances and a strong desire for cooking and baking. I applied immediately and was chosen to be a part of the team in charge of testing Frigidaire’s new professional series range and microwave.

I. am. lucky.

I know this.

And I’ve already tested nearly half of bells and whistles on these stainless steel beauties.

There is a button on the microwave that melts butter perfectly.

The oven’s bottom rack slides out as you open the door.

The gas range has five burners, the middle one that can be switched out to a cast iron griddle.

gas. lots of it.

I’ve lived with a hand me down microwave over a decade old for the last four years.

I’ve only baked with the most entry level of stoves and ranges, so entry level in fact that if I stepped away from anything cooking or baking in or on them it would surely end up burnt and sticky. I spent a lot of uneccesarry time parked in front of my oven but for the most part things turned out right.

KITCHEN! MINE! KITCHEN!

The first round of Frigidaire appliances promised moms more me-time, to do other things instead of hang out by our appliances waiting for them to do their tasks (and hopefully properly.) In conjunction with the test drive of these appliances by dozens of different moms, Frigidaire has set up the Spin and Win campaign, where you can spin to win one of several different daily prizes or the grand prize, a new Frigidaire Affinity washer and dryer. Also for each spin Frigidaire will donate $1 (up to $250,000) to Save the Children.

I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive Campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Frigidaire and received a Frigidaire Range/Microwave to facilitate my review.

So, any challenges for me and my new appliances? My first one? Remember my big fat Ciabatta Fail? IT SHALL BE RECTIFIED.

  7. My heart – it’s going pitter-patter pitter-patter.

    The shiny.

    And the glossy beautiful floors.

    And is that the Limited Edition Kitchenaid 90th Anniversary Mixer? (Ok, off topic… but still!)

    Lucky lucky lady!

    Please bake and cook one of everything. Then tell me how delicious it is. (You may want to enlist help or invest in elastic pants. I’d go the elastic pants route but to each her own.)

    Congrats and YAY!

  8. I have two things for you. First, how in the world do you keep your kitchen that clean? I realize it’s fairly new but holy moly, it’s so clean. Second, I love the fact that you used the word “rectified.” That’s like a $.50 word if I ever heard one.

  9. What about a cheesecake? Or something in a water bath? My oven is entirely unpredictable in it’s temperature so I’m very jealous.
