The Best Appliances for Hosting

by Bill Welles

Whether you’re hosting bake sales, office parties, or special dinners, you know the holiday cooking season is in full effect. Sure, a full-blown spread of festive treats is important for a successful holiday gathering, but your gingerbread men would be nothing without the appliances that help bring them to life. If you’re prepping, plating, cleaning or storing, you need a kitchen with the best products to keep your dinner parties running smoothly. If the host in you is calling for new appliances, we have exactly what you need. 

1. Double Wall Oven

A double wall oven with side opening doors is a great feature for hosting because you’re able to easily take out your heaviest dishes without reaching over the oven door. Larger casseroles and baking sheets full of cookies can be removed without the worry of catching your apron or sleeve on the oven rack.

Speedy cooking time is another vital feature. A party that runs out of food can leave your guests feeling a little on edge. If your friends, family, and maybe even your dog end up nibbling on all the snacks you’ve made, be sure to have plenty of backups so you can quickly throw another batch in the oven. An oven with convection cooking like this Café™ double convection wall oven ensures your party-goers will leave your home with full hearts and fuller bellies.

2. Freestanding Gas Range

Whether you’re hosting a birthday party, book club meeting, or holiday celebration, you’ll never want to leave your guests to tend to a stack of dirty plates and cookware. You need a two-in-one appliance that can handle the cooking and cleaning. Luckily, LG’s Stainless Steel Free Standing Gas Range with EasyClean® is any entertainers right hand man. The EasyClean® feature makes it easy to clean any stuck-on messes in-between courses so you can get right back to preparing your meal or enjoying your party. 

The fastest oven cleaning feature yet, in just three easy steps and 10 quick minutes, your oven will once again be sparkling clean without any harsh fumes or high temperatures. Simply spray the interior of the oven with water, press EasyClean® and after 10 minutes, wipe away any excess grime and your range will be good as new. 

3. Warming Drawer

As a host and home chef, you know your dishes are best served hot, not sitting out to get cold and soggy. Your meal might be ready to eat, but sometimes, things don’t always go according to plan; whether your guests are stuck in traffic or your side dish is ready but your honey-baked ham needs a few extra minutes, this is where a warming drawer can be a real party saver.

It’s hard to keep food warm and guests satisfied, but with the power of a warming drawer, you can rotate each dish throughout the night, so everyone gets a warm plate of food. If you don’t need to keep any treats warm, you can also use it to keep cloth napkins or kitchen towels nice and toasty instead!

4. French-Door Refrigerator

If you’re hosting the holiday party, then you need a fridge with ample space to hold all your food and beverages and keep them conveniently organized within an arm’s reach. From large serving trays to countless condiments, to different drink sizes and plates full of sweet treats, your fridge should be prepared to hold whatever you need. If you’re at the store and you think you forgot something on your grocery list, think again. LG SmartThinQ® app allows you to control key features of your fridge from anywhere—whether you need to make extra ice for the night’s festivities or check inside your fridge, you’re always covered.

 

5. Wine Storage

You can’t throw a successful holiday party without a fine selection of wine, which is why having a wine cooler will take your celebration to the next level. Your reds and whites will always be stored at the perfect temperature as this clever fridge allows you to set your ideal temperature. When you’re ready to move onto the next bottle, the LED interior-light display is like a work of art—perfect for showmanship and easily locating the exact bottle you’re looking for.
