. Hidden outlet strip. So many of you spend good amounts of time and money selecting the perfect backsplash that it’s a shame to have to mar the surface with all of the outlets most building codes require. Cdve offers a solution, saying, “I didn’t want outlets in my backsplash, so we installed cheap linear power strips underneath the cabinets, mounted on an angled block.” If you’re thinking about installing a strip of outlets directly underneath your wall cabinets, make sure you are OK with seeing the inevitable cluster of dangling cords, or be fine with constantly having to unplug your appliances and devices when not in use. Or, mount plug strip horizontally on backsplash as it makes a continuous line not discrete plug outlets

this is an oven that uses moisture — steam heat — to cook food. This hot appliance is gaining popularity for its ability to keep foods moist as it cooks them. It’s also touted as a healthier cooking method, as foods retain more vitamins when cooked with steam than with dry-cooking methods. A steam oven won’t replace your regular oven, though, because it does not brown food. However, some manufacturers have remedied this by offering a steam combination oven, which allows you to cook the food with steam heat, then finish it with dry heat for browning before serving.
