So I am going to admit something that most of my close friends already know. I have memory problems. My BFF’s dad teases me about it. He is a pharmaceutical rep … and he owns a cabin up north. My friend showed me pictures ages ago, but although I remember he owns a cabin I can’t remember much else from the pictures. He always asks me my opinion about his cabin (see how valuable my opinion is???) and I tell him honestly, “I don’t remember!” Actually, a lot of his questions about anything make me say, “I don’t remember!” So one day when he was teasing me, I said, “Well, don’t you have a pill for my memory problems?” Remember, he is a pharmaceutical rep. He tells me, “I do, but you’re too young!”
Haha! He goes on to say that most of my problems come from being a time-crunched mom with too much on my mind already. And I know that I am not the only mom like this – how many of us had “Pregnancy Brain” which later progressed to “Mommy Brain”? Nothing seems to stick and you just run on automatic.
But, being a Frigidaire Mom has helped me with some time-crunch issues, which does allow me to focus on family and relieves a little stress. Like those Power Plus features I buzzed about last month which lets the oven preheat faster or soup boil quicker. It’s so freakin’ convenient!
Another convenience are the One-Touch Options on the over-the-range microwave (Model: FPBM189KF). This Microwave oven features easy-to-use one touch buttons so you can cook pizza, pizza, baked potato or veggies – or even add 30 seconds to the timer – with the touch of a button.
And with the touch of two buttons you can use convenient buttons to automatically heat up snacks like pizza, hot dogs or a kids meal. You can auto cook items like a frozen breakfast, scrambled eggs, soup or hot cereal. You can sensor cook a list of items that include ground meat, seafood and chicken breasts. You can soften ice cream and cream cheese or melt butter and chocolate.
You think that’s all? Nope. With two pushes of a button you can choose to auto reheat fresh rolls, frozen muffins, coffee or pasta. Or auto defrost ground meat, chicken pieces, casserole or a roast.
Cheat Label Inside Microwave
To do those items listed above (two- three button options) you simply choose your cook option (sensor cook, auto defrost, etc.) and then use a cheat sheet label inside the microwave that matches the item you are trying to cook. Easy and it doesn’t take up any valuable memory, nor do you need an instruction manual nearby to use these really easy options.
This Frigidaire over-the-range microwave is taking the guess work out of cooking, so instead of walking back and forth between the oven adding minutes and minutes – overcooking or undercooking – it is done right faster so you have time to complete kitchen tasks quicker, meaning more time with your family.
I think less worries in the kitchen is helping me free up time and build memories instead of losing my mind! Thank you, Frigidaire!
