We still have one more huge holiday to go this week, but for those who are just fresh from hosting visiting family and friends in your home or for those who endured challenging kitchen floorplans (sounds like a therapy session topic) tell me the following about functioning or visiting in your kitchen, or any kitchen you were in over the holidays:
 what did you love?
what did you hate?
what must you change?
what worked surprisingly well?
what was a mistake?
what was frustrating?
what was the best idea?
These questions are purposely very open ended. Pick your kitchen issue (whatever it is-traffic, appliance placement, dish storage, etc. etc. and expand as you wish.)
Answer any question or questions you like, tell me all about your likes/dislikes, and add more answers over this weeks’ experiences and New Years’ weekend as well.

Designed by Lorenzo Lispi, the modern Elica Atlantis offers rigorously linear and functional style with strong cantilevered angles of shimmering stainless steel that hovers over a slim leaf of glass, surrounding the central body with light and air. Its back lit, light soft push-button controls allow operations to be run simply and intuitively, while four 20 watt halogen lamps guarantee perfect illumination of the cooking area. Elica equips Atlantis with a 3-speed blower giving you an option of ducted or recirculating installation. While its quiet 600 CFM internal blower is more than adequate for everyday cooking, the 1,100 CFM Whisper In-Line blower delivers truly professional-grade extraction performance, and without the distracting roar you might expect.
Elica Atlantis also has Passive Silencer, a special sound-absorbing insulation that lines the hood interior for unsurpassed noise reduction, and dishwasher-safe and long lasting stainless steel mesh filter. Available in 30″ and 36″ widths, with prices starting at approximately $2,000 USD. Elica. Also, Elica corner hood.

Here’s something to do while the kids are home from school and you have vacation-itis. Entertain the folks with dinner cooked in the dishwasher.
Cooking Method & Considerations
Allow one 50-minute cycle for every 2lb of weight. Hermetically seal a seasoned turkey inside several appropriate turkey-sized oven bags.
Place the turkey in the dishwasher to steam-cook.
When cooking a turkey, ensure that the temperature of the meat doesn’t rise above the recommended 145f by using a meat thermometer.
Test Run
As a trial run, a 5lb supermarket chicken was cooked in the dishwasher providing impressive results: firm, tender, moist breast meat.
Two cycles were used, and the bird was finished off in the oven to brown and crisp the skin.
Getting a whole turkey cooked this way might take all day, so Electrolux (where I found this wacky idea) suggests their Steam Combination oven as a quicker, (saner?) option.
