How do I dispose of other kitchen appliances?

• <div><p>When considering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-appliances.htm">how to dispose of other appliances</a>, a landfill is also usually not an option. The biggest difference is that electrical appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, or dishwashers aren’t as easy to transport as a portable microwave. Some local councils offer bulky uplift services (although a fee may apply), scrap metal recyclers might pick yours up, trade-in options on big items are more common, and some utility companies offer incentivized recycling programs.</p></div>

Q: What can I cook in a steam oven?

• <div><p>Practically, everything. However, steam ovens work best with delicate ingredients with high moisture levels, such as vegetables, eggs, porridge, and oatmeal. As long as your oven is big enough, you can also use steam ovens to cook meat, fish, pasta, and even pizzas. They are also a great option for reheating leftovers since they can retain the flavors.</p></div>

Q: Do roaches lay eggs in appliances?

• <div><p>Yes, due to its warm and dark nature, roaches find appliances to be the perfect location to lay eggs. It's for this reason that addressing a cockroach in an appliance should be handled quickly. Once the roach makes a home in an appliance, it's only a matter of time before they nest and begin laying eggs.</p></div>

Q: How many watts does an AC use?

• <div><p>An <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-many-watts-ac.htm">air conditioner&rsquo;s watt usage</a> depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts. </p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my small appliances?

• <div><p>The answer to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-repair-or-replace-my-broken-appliance.htm">repairing vs. replacing appliances</a> depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you&rsquo;ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it&rsquo;s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.</p></div>
