FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Quick answers to common appliance maintenance and recipe questions.

What is the difference between a food processor and a blender? +

Food processors feature a wide bowl and interchangeable discs designed for dry, heavy tasks like slicing, shredding, and dough kneading. Blenders use narrow jars designed to pull liquids down into high-speed vortexes for smooth purees.

How do I stop my air fryer from smoking when cooking fatty foods? +

Add a slice of bread or 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom drip drawer underneath the basket to catch rendering grease and prevent it from burning against the heating element.

How often should I clean gas grill burners? +

Perform a deep burner inspection and cleaning twice a year using a wire pipe brush to clear spider webs or carbon blockage from burner port holes.
