Cutting down on food waste!

Ginger  — Cover tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.

Bacon  — Freeze the raw, individual pieces.

Bananas — Place them in the freezer whole, peels and all.

Chicken broth — Place in an ice cream tray and freeze, or measure out portions and store in freezer-safe containers or bags.

Avocados — Mash them, add a little lemon juice and put in a freezer safe container.

Berries — Freeze in a single layer on a cookie sheet, and then place in individual-size plastic bags.

Fresh herbs — Wash, pat dry, and store in resealable plastic bags.

More Freezer Space For The Holidays

If there were ever a season synonymous with cooking and baking, it’s fall. And we’re smack dab in the middle of it.

Halloween is over and Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. That means the amount of food you’re cooking will increase exponentially over the next two months.

You have it all planned out. You’re baking cookies for holiday cookie exchanges, school Christmas parties and bringing a few plates of goodies when you visit the in-laws. You also plan on cooking up a storm for your own festivities. You have tried-and-true recipes on your list, as well as a few new ones to test.

But where will you keep all this food?

The freezer attached to your fridge only holds so much.

You need a second freezer, but you don’t have a ton of money to spend or space to spare.

Fortunately, we have a solution. The Hotpoint 5.1 cubic foot chest freezer features a removable basket, easy access defrost drain and power indicator light. It’s just enough space to house extra cookies, cakes, pies and casseroles.

With a little additional freezer space, you can cook, bake and whip up delicious foods all holiday season long!

How To Solve Common Freezer Problems

You love your freezer.

But most of the time you don’t know what’s in it, how long you’ve had it or if you need to throw something out.

How do you solve these storage and food waste issues?

With these easy tips!

Fill at least one half of your freezer to avoid frost.

Choose one day a month to check expiration dates, look for freezer burn and sort through everything in your freezer.

Label your food before freezing it. Using masking tape and a pen, write a short note about what type of food it is, the expiration date and any other pertinent information.

Yes, you can freeze liquids and sauces.  Let the food freeze flat in a freezer bag. Then stand up the frozen bags like books on a shelf so they won’t slip or fall.

Freezers are great inventions. They save space and prolong the longevity of our food. They let us whip out a prepared meal at a moment’s notice or store those temptingly delicious cookies for another day.

Now that you know how to correctly utilize your freezer, the possibilities are endless!

Spring Cleaning For Your Kitchen

We’re ready to jump into spring and leave winter in the rear view mirror. Say goodbye to heavy jackets, woolly sweaters and snow boots...and hello to sunshine, gardening and spring cleaning.

How about you?

Depending on the state of your house, you may not like spring cleaning.

But for the tried and true spring cleaners out there, do you ever empty your fridge?

Unfortunately, refrigerators are often left out of the spring cleaning process. That leads to the inevitable discovery of an unrecognizable food from so long ago you can’t read the expiration date anymore.

This year, we invite you to take spring cleaning one step further. If your refrigerator isn’t bringing you joy (thank you, Marie Kondo!), it may be time for a new one. Purge your old fridge and find something which brings you — and your kitchen — joy.

We are offering a Whirlpool refrigerator which is simple, clean and fulfills your storage needs. The four door bins and multiple shelves provide ample storage, with even more space in the top freezer.

Embrace the spring cleaning season and the joy it will bring you, your home and family.

Ice Cream and Freezers: A Love Story

Spring gets us thinking about a lot of the things we missed during winter — sunny days, gardening, outdoor trips and ice cream. Many of us crave and indulge in the occasional scoop of ice cream, even when it’s below freezing outside. There’s just something alluring about the siren song of our favorite

frozen treat.

Whether you enjoy your ice cream in a bowl or cone, your freezer makes it possible for you to eat ice cream all year long. But if we never invented the home freezer, the iconic ice cream cone would just be called a cone.

Even though we love ice cream, our freezers do so much more than keep those delicious frozen treats from melting. Freezers are where we store leftovers, pack away a week’s worth of meals or keep extra food long term so there’s no waste.

The freezer is a staple of our homes and kitchens. If you need a new freezer, take advantage of the 100 year celebration with our Blow Out Sale. We have a lot of quality inventory available, so visit West Coast Appliance and Furniture today to mark this special occasion.

The Season of Freezers

With back to school freezer meals, bake sale treats, holiday parties and family gatherings, you need more space to store food. Fall and winter are the seasons of freezers. And when you can’t find another inch of available space in your fridge or freezer to store more food and treats, we can solve that problem.

Sometimes you need another freezer, but a good one can cost a small fortune. With school starting, and the holidays on the horizon, you don’t have the money to spend a fortune on an additional freezer. But at West Coast Appliance and Furniture, we have freezers starting from $179. Now you can buy a quality product at an affordable price.

Many of these freestanding freezers have an adjustable temperature control and removable basket so

you can store more food for a longer period of time.

We’re at the precipice of an extremely busy season, especially for cooking and baking. By buying extra freezer space, you will gain a ton of peace of mind this season.

Shop After Labor Day...And Save!

Labor Day is over; school is starting and you’re returning to work after a long weekend. Most of the big sales are done—but not ours! We believe Labor Day weekend should be spent playing with the kids, taking a mini-vacation or just lounging around the house. That’s why our Labor Day Sales Event goes until September 13th, so you have plenty of time to shop and save long after the holiday weekend is over.

School is back in session, and you know what that means. More clothes, more lunches and more dishes. Are your appliances able to handle the influx of chores?

You need a refrigerator and freezer combo which can accommodate more food for lunches and dinners. If you’re a fan of the freezer meal trend, then you’ll want a freezer which can hold plenty of ready-made dinners you can defrost and eat at a minute’s notice. Besides, who wants to get home from a late soccer game and have to cook dinner from scratch? It’s much easier to prep on the weekend, then defrost and cook what you need, when you need it.

But how about all those dirty dishes? A growing family leaves behind a lot of dishes, and you can’t expect a creaky old dishwasher to handle all that extra work. A new dishwasher will wash once, and then you’re done. An easy and efficient process for a busy time of the year.

Don’t worry that you missed out on Labor Day sales. We have you covered! Visit us by September 13th and find everything you need for your home.

Be Smart About Your Freezer

Save an average of $750 a year by buying in bulk.

Freezer meals. They’re more than a food trend; they’re a practical way to buy a lot, cook a lot and waste nothing. Freezer meals are a busy family’s best friend. You buy and prepare everything ahead of time, then defrost and cook when you want to eat.

When you have a top of the line freezer, such as the #Frigidaire Gallery 2-in-1 freezer/refrigerator, every make-ahead meal is a success. This duo has extra thick walls so food stays frozen longer.

What can you freeze? Practically everything! A few items don’t take well to freezing: lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumbers, raw potatoes and hard boiled eggs. Also be wary of egg-based sauces such as mayonnaise. They can separate and curdle when thawed.

We know your next question. How should you freeze food? If you have strong freezer-safe bags, Tupperware, mason jars, aluminum foil or your own baking dishes (with lids), then you can pop it in the freezer without a second thought.

We said buying in bulk could save you over $700 a year. You know which foods to freeze and how to store them. But what should you make?

We have a delicious freezer dinner recipe: chicken enchiladas!

Remember, your freezer is your friend. Buy in bulk, freeze food and enjoy all your favorites throughout the year.

How Your Freezer Saved Dinner

You work full-time. You’re at the office all day and run errands during your lunch break. But the day doesn’t end when you clock out. You leave the office -- brave rush hour traffic -- and pick up the kids from practice, run a couple more errands and finally arrive home.

It’s dinner time. The kids are hungry, and so are you. You didn't scour the internet for those blessed 30 minute meals because time got away from you. Should you order a pizza? No, your family deserves better than delivery.

Then it hits you. You have a casserole in the freezer! Made over the weekend, you stored it to eat later.

A few important factors went into making this freezer meal miracle a reality. You found the best recipe. More importantly, you have a Frigidaire Gallery 2-in-1 Refrigerator/Freezer which kept your meal ready until now. With your freezer’s extra thick walls, your food stays frozen longer.

You also followed 4 handy tips to ensure your frozen meals taste fresh.

1. Use freezer storage bags
2. Wrap food in heavy duty aluminum foil
3. For bigger dishes (like a casserole), store in a glass baking dish with an airtight lid
4. Keep smaller recipe batches in mason jars

#Frigidaire has your back. When life is chaotic, trust your freezer. Cook meals over the weekend, freeze, defrost and wow your family every night. So next time you’re in the grocery store, put down the frozen pizza. You have the tools and know-how to make (and freeze) your own food at home.
