Toronto now has a lending library for kitchen appliances
There are few things more frustrating than trying to tackle a recipe without the right equipment—except shelling out serious cash for a gadget and then only using it once or twice. The Kitchen Library, a new non-profit on the Danforth, aims to solve that very culinary conundrum. Housed in the same storefront as the Toronto Tool Library (which operates on a similar model), the lending service charges $50 a year for access to a diverse collection of kitchen gizmos, from regular Cuisinarts and stock pots to more specialized juicers and food dehydrators. As with any library, there are due dates (three to five days, depending on the type of equipment) and late fees ($1–2 a day), and the inventory is first-come-first-serve. For those foodies looking to de-clutter, the library also accept donations. [Toronto Star]

awesome what a great idea
I was going to ask how to sign in – but forget it. It’s a lighter footprint, awesome job! (the foregoing was in relation to the new Disqus mobile interface) ;-)
The Kitchen Library is indeed a budget-friendly and a
reasonable platform for everyone where one can easily borrow a particular
appliance or equipment to prepare a specific recipe. Such an initiative will really motivate
people for using suitable appliances fro a recipe and not compromising just
with the ones that they possess. To get equipped with some highly efficient
home appliances please visit http://www.starcj.com/mall/disp/lcategory.htm?wlgroup=103
When you need appliance repairs, you don’t want to trust your expensive units to an under-qualified technician. Look online to determine how various companies train their employees. Do they have any special licensing or certification, such as EPA certification for refrigerator repair? How long has the company been in business? Is the owner a service provider, or does he manage a staff of younger repairmen? Can you request certain technicians for your appointment? Only hire a company when you feel comfortable with its qualifications and certifications to work with your appliance.
