It’s Easter Candy season and EVERYONE has their It’s Easter Candy season and EVERYONE has their favorite. But what if you could only have one for the rest of your life? Which would you pick

1-marshmallow peeps
2-jelly beans 
3-mini Cadbury eggs 
4- gummi bunnies 

If you know me, you know I’m sticking with the gummi bunnies. The chewy gummi candy is where my heart is!! But I will sneak a Reese’s peanut butter egg in the mix. 

What’s your pick?
So far this month, we’ve tackled the sink and di So far this month, we’ve tackled the sink and disposal, dishwasher, microwave, stovetop and oven but we haven’t talked much about the tools that we use in conjunction with our appliances. 

If you’ve been here for a bit, you know our long standing love with the @staub_usa La Cocotte. We use this pan nearly everyday- whether we’re melting caramel, baking sourdough bread, or even cooking a box of mac and cheese for lunch. 

These pans are the workhorse of the kitchen and over time, they start to show their wear and tear. But with a little Bar Keepers Friend, our favorite walnut sponge, and some elbow grease, you can make your pan look good as new!

Ok. So if you shouldn’t use your self-cleaning f Ok. So if you shouldn’t use your self-cleaning feature on your oven, what can you do for easy cleaning? 

We have tested all the products and cleaning methods. Trust us. And with seven ovens to regularly clean, we want to keep things simple. This is where the ammonia method saves the day. 

You can get the process started and then walk away for several hours. When you come back, the gunk and grease and burnt-on crispies are soft and ready to be scrubbed loose. Then, once you have cleaned up all the ammonia, you can use BKF and a sponge on those really tough stains. 

For more instructions you can check out our stories or visit the blog. 

🎉🎉 And to enter the current giveaway, be sure to DM us with a before and after pic or your stovetop or oven for a chance to win a $25 gift card to Gygi. 🎉🎉

Ever notice the self-cleaning feature on your oven Ever notice the self-cleaning feature on your oven? Even though your oven has this feature-DO NOT (we repeat) DO NOT use it. This is something we try and share every year. This feature has the potential to RUIN your oven. 

Here's why:
-  It exposes the oven to dangerous temperatures of over 880°F
-  Every time you run the cycle, it wears down your oven
-  One manufacturer even told us that most ovens can withstand only four self cleaning cycles before being fried
-  It is so stinky and can actually release toxic fumes

After helping hundreds of customers through the years, we've seen this happen too many times. And if this announcement prevents even one broken oven, it is worth it. Broken glass. Fumes. Destroyed internal thermometer. Fried motherboard. It is just too risky!!!

We get it. You feel betrayed. "Why have a self-cleaning cycle if it's bad for the oven?" 

Two main reasons: 
1. Consumers want the self cleaning feature and ovens without them don't sell as well
2. If your oven breaks, you buy a new one! Yay for the manufacturer. Boo for you.

Luckily, we did some testing to find a better alternative to the self-cleaning cycle and feel very confident we have the easiest and best way to clean your oven and can’t wait to share it. Stay tuned!!!

Let’s clean the stovetop! We don’t know about Let’s clean the stovetop! We don’t know about you, but we can be messy cooks. And stuff is constantly collecting on our cooktops—grease, noodles, mac n cheese powder. All. The. Things. 

Luckily cleaning it all up doesn’t have to be an ordeal. First, wipe off all the loose crumbs and food. Next, spray the surface with water. Apply powder cleanser (BKF) and let is sit for a couple of minutes. Then scrub, scrub, scrub and repeat an application of powder if necessary. Finish by rinsing off and wiping down with clear water. Done!

Come clean with us! If you send us a DM of a before and after picture of your clean cooktop you will be entered to win a $25 gift card to Gygi. Winner to be announced next Monday.

Welcome to the first day of spring!!! Anyone else Welcome to the first day of spring!!! Anyone else scratching the cleaning itch today? It feels so,so good to start fresh. 

One of our favorite tools for cleaning is Bar Keepers Friend (BKF). It has blown our minds and has so many useful applications.

What is the magic, active ingredient? Oxalic acid! It breaks down the bonds of stains like rust and lime deposits on a molecular level. And it is no wonder we are completely obsessed! Read the blog linked in the bio to find out more about why this product works so well.
