It is the start to the holiday season. The season of delicious meals and family gatherings.
This year’s gatherings may look a bit different than previous years’ gatherings, but one thing is certain – your appliances are sure to get a workout. Whether you are cooking the big meal, cooking a side dish or just starting to bake some holiday cookies, you don’t want to be caught with an appliance issue that ruins your fun.
