To cook in Italian... Mangia bene, vivi felice

Verona Appliances Electrifies with their Colorful New 36” Electric Single and Double Oven Prestige Collection Ranges

by

Verona Appliances, crafted in Italy but made for the U.S. market, expands upon their renowned Prestige collection with seven new 36” electric ranges. The new 36” electric double oven ranges are an industry exclusive, with an upgraded look that is only surpassed by its high-powered capabilities. The single ovens are offered in four colors (Stainless Steel, White, Matte Black and Burgundy) and the double ovens offered in three colors (Stainless Steel, White and Matte Black).

Verona’s Prestige 36” electric ranges feature an impeccably designed 5-burner black ceramic electric cooktop that’s easy-to-clean with full-sized elements to accommodate pots of any size and a multi-tasking dual element that ranges from the PerfectSimmer™ (700W) to a powerful InstaBoil™(2100W) setting. The collection is available in a highly sought after 36” option that adds professional performance to any space.

Verona’s large, energy-efficient electric ovens are equipped with a spacious capacity.  Even the main oven in the double oven range can easily hold a 25-pound or more turkey.

Upgraded aesthetics include the Prestige collection signature beveled doors, round handles and robust knobs, creating a focal point in any kitchen environment.

Spring Kitchen Décor Ideas

by

The days are getting longer and the weather is slowly, but surely, getting warmer. The world is coming alive with greenery, bright colors and floral prints in fashion and interior design to signify the arrival of spring. For décor lovers, a new season means it’s time to give your living space a refresh. Not quite sure where to begin? We recommend starting with the heart of the home, your kitchen! Read on as we share our favorite seasonal style tips for decorating your kitchen for spring.

Budding Blooms

Spring is a time of rebirth and a fresh start for flora and fauna. Flowers are starting to pop out of the ground, the grass is becoming greener and trees are beginning to bud. If you love nature and find solace in having the outdoors in your home, mirror what you see outside into your kitchen.

Budding branches can make an excellent addition to your spring kitchen décor. Find a few in your backyard if you’re looking to be cost-savvy, or purchase a few pieces at your local craft store to display year after year. Hemingway Interiors upcycled an old vase with spackle to create a rustic, artisan look with budding greenery on her kitchen island.

36” Prestige Gas Range

Sensational Seasonal Scents

In addition to decorating your kitchen with flora and fauna, you can also use scented candles as a centerpiece on your kitchen island. Keep the scent light and airy with notes of eucalyptus, jasmine, citrus or rose. Make it even more of a centerpiece by placing the candle on a decorative wooden cutting board or in a large shallow bowl, and add accessories like a wick cutter and a snifter.

If you’re more conscious about open flames, a decorative wax warmer will work just as well. 

36” Prestige Gas Range

Showstopping Centerpiece

No vase? No problem! Laura Reister got creative with her range décor and used her heart-shaped dutch oven as a pot for fresh tulips. The pink and red hues pop brightly against her white backsplash and countertops. This décor trick will certainly catch guests in your home by surprise – and might inspire them to do the same!

To get this look, we recommend the 36″ Prestige Dual Fuel Double Oven Range.

Floral Fabrics

Hanging a dish towel over your range handle can make clean-up in the kitchen a breeze. It’s also such an easy way to add seasonality to the space! Susan Serra, CKD, matched her matte black range with a bold black and blue floral pattern. At the end of every season, stock up on dish towels in the clearance section to truly maximize your savings so you’re prepared for next year!

A Modern Kitchen for a Photographer’s Brooklyn Studio

by

Verona Appliances recently partnered with Deborah Main of the Pillow Goddess to create a modern kitchen for Brooklyn-based product photographer and director Cason Latimer. Cason recently expanded his studio with an on-site, modern kitchen to better serve his growing client portfolio. “I recommended the Designer Series ranges and hoods from Verona Appliances because of my personal and professional experience with the luxury brand’s superior quality and diverse options,” said Deborah Main, designer of Cason’s studio kitchen.

Continue to read below for more details on Cason’s kitchen.

Affordable Luxury

A photographer’s studio is fast-paced, with multiple photoshoots happening simultaneously. Cason needed a range and ventilation hood that would be a reliable workhorse for his client’s projects. “[His] need for a professional-grade range without the price tag was essential for his business to attract top-notch clients,” she says.

Create Your Own Custom Verona Range

What’s great about the luxury Verona Designer Series ranges – whether your personal preference is induction, gas, or electric – is that homeowners and kitchen designers can customize their range with the Designer Range Builder.  

Cason chose the Verona Designer Series 36″ Induction Range and 36” Wall-Mounted Range Hood for its professional performance, superior craftsmanship, and affordability. The design of his kitchen, a very modern, clean look, necessitated a range that seamlessly fit in with his new countertop, cabinetry, and classic white backsplash. Plus, the luxury appliances were easy on his wallet.

“With Verona’s many color options, Cason chose a stainless steel finish for his Designer Series Induction 36” range, as it offers that clean, fresh look, which is an excellent choice for any modern kitchen,” says Deborah. “Plus, to be honest, his new range and hood had to look stunning to impress his new clients, and Verona ranges are gorgeous!”

The Details Make All the Difference

The Verona Designer Series 36″ Induction Range and hood make Cason’s studio kitchen a real stand out. “He has many new photography clients in the food industry, and I know he is thrilled to be able to prep and cook on Verona’s magnificent luxury range. Plus, he has the Chefs Pak to make it all a breeze!” says Deborah.

In addition to the range and range hood, Cason also has a variety of accessories from the Chefs Pak, which will significantly help preparation for food and beverage photoshoots. Deborah has a few of the accessories herself and says, “my husband and I recently used the Verona griddle for pancakes and steaks last night, and its performance is excellent!”

Note: Verona recently released a new and improved Chefs Pak, swapping out the stainless steel griddle for a cast iron griddle, which is more lightweight and works well on induction cooktops.

Deborah cannot recommend Verona more highly. “It is of superior quality and will elevate your kitchen to luxury status and professional performance,” she says. “Before you know it, you’ll feel like a professional chef!”

Hosting a Charcuterie Board Night with the Verona Chefs Pak

by

You might have seen videos of charcuterie board nights while scrolling through Instagram or TikTok. These beautiful and fun boards are easy to assemble, allow guests to graze as freely as they like, and feature endless combinations of meats, cheeses, breads and more. Gather your closest group of friends for your own charcuterie board night with the help of Verona’s new Chefs Pak.

The Basics

These decorative platters of food may look complicated based on their grandeur size and ingredients, but the basics are straightforward. You’ll want to start by breaking the board into categories: one section for soft, easy-to-grab foods that are pre-sliced and one area for harder foods that need cutting. Then, you can decorate the rest of the board with spreadables, dips, toppers and palate cleansers. Label tags can inform guests of ingredients if there are any food allergies.

The Classic Charcuterie Board

A classic charcuterie board is a must for this event. The base of your board should be a serving tray or cutting board, like the maple cutting board from our Chefs Pak. Start with soft, pre-sliced meats in one corner of the board, like prosciutto or roast beef. Add harder meats like a log of salami or chorizo in another corner. Hard cheeses that will also need slicing, like Manchego or Asiago, should be placed next to the hard meats. Add spreadables like goat cheese or hummus. Finally, round out the board with pickles, sauces, honey, jam, crackers or bread.

The Fondue Board

Cheese is the shining star with this charcuterie board. A great fondue starts with shredded swiss and gruyere cheese, white cooking wine and your preferred selection of spices. As the ingredients are melted down, keep an eye on the temperature with a digital probe. Fondue cheese should be kept at 120 degrees to maintain the perfect melting temperature. Add a display of apple slices, French bread, pretzels, meatballs, roasted potatoes and broccoli around your fondue pot. This fondue board features a beer cheese recipe – perfect for game day.

The Rainbow Board

Taste the rainbow with a rainbow charcuterie board. You’ll want to gather a variety of fruits and vegetables in every color of the rainbow. Think apple slices, peppers, oranges, sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, asparagus, blueberries, plums, grapes and purple potatoes. You can steam a selection of vegetables with the Verona steamer pan to add varying flavors and textures. Finish the board with dippers like honey, ranch dressing and garlic butter or maple butter sauces.

The Dessert Board

Time for dessert! This board may be the easiest of them all. There’s no shame in getting boxed brownie mix and slice-and-bake cookie dough. Bake brownies and cookies in the oven according to package directions and use Verona’s oven mitts to safely take bakeware out of the oven. Add biscotti to the display to have alongside coffee or tea, or to dip into chocolate or hazelnut spread. Strawberries, raspberries and bananas can also be added for color – and for a dose of healthy vitamins.

The Breakfast Board

Can’t find an evening when everyone is available? Host a brunch after a Saturday morning hockey or baseball game. You’ll want to have breakfast basics, like pancakes, waffles and French toast, but make them bite-sized by having silver dollar pancakes, mini waffles and French toast sticks. Add spreadables like butter, cream cheese and jam. You’ll also want to add meats, like sausage and bacon, which can be cooked with Verona’s cast iron griddle and spatula made for perfectly flipped pancakes and crispy bacon. Finish off the board with syrup and honey for dipping, and fruit and nuts for color.

2021 Kitchen Trend Roundup: What You’re Saving & Sharing

by

The last month of the year brings about holiday cheer as family gathers from far and near. With 2021 coming to an end, we’re taking the time to reflect on some of our favorite kitchen designs of the past year that incorporate Verona Appliances. You may even find some design inspiration to bring into your own home! Below are our most saved and shared kitchens of the year, according to our Instagram.

Neutral & Ornate Palette

Built in 1905, the “Monster House” is a quaint Californian bungalow nestled in sunny Los Angeles. The kitchen was brought back to life with the help of a range similar to the current  Stainless Steel Prestige Dual Fuel Range and an open indoor-outdoor living concept. The space is decorated in warm neutrals of copper and wood, and is finished off with an ornate chandelier inspired by the outdoors.

Thank you to Avi Ross Group in Long Beach, California for tagging us!

Open Shelving for Décor… and Speed

In addition to warm neutrals, open shelving is also quite popular on Instagram. This concept lets well-used pots, pans and serving ware be displayed as part of the décor and within easy reach. Think about the seconds you’d save by no longer rummaging through a cabinet! This kitchen features a range similar to our 36” Prestige Gas Range in White.

Thank you to The Ranch Uncommon from Newbury Park, California for working with us!

Custom Cabinetry for Storage

It seems like there’s never enough storage in the kitchen. AHA! Interiors from Richmond Hill, New York installed a custom pull-out shelf to use every nook and cranny available. The owners now stash spices, oils and infrequently used cookware next to their 30” Gas Range. They even used a two-tiered lazy Susan to squeeze in more spices in the cabinetry.

Task Lighting

Task lighting can do wonders. It can provide additional lighting to help you keep an eye out for the perfect golden sear on a chicken thigh. Or, it can help ease tension on the eyes as you’re cleaning up late at night while the rest of the room is dim. This kitchen features our 36” Double Oven Range and Chefs Pak.

Thank you to @luvee68 for tagging us!

Matte Black Accents

White kitchens have been reigning supreme, but Andrea West Design of Burlingame, California adds touches of sophisticated color to this kitchen. Mixed metals, finishes and glassware displayed on the open shelving unit provide interest, while our 36″ N-Series Electric Range in Matte Black adds drama.

How to Clean Your Verona Oven in Time for the Holidays

by

As we welcome the holiday season this year, you might be thinking about how much activity your Verona oven may see in the next few weeks. From cookies to turkeys, your oven will be put into overdrive ­– after what could have been a long reprieve from gatherings. Below we explain how to best clean your Verona oven in time for meals with friends and family for the holidays. Your oven will be in tip-top shape in no time! 

Tip: Before you get started, make sure to let the oven cool entirely if it was recently used. We recommend wearing rubber gloves and eye protection and to keep small children and pets away from any cleaning products and the oven during the process.

For Gas and Electric Range Ovens

All Verona range cavities are built with an EZ-clean porcelain surface, which makes cleaning the oven easier on you. First, you will want to remove all racks, pans and utensils from the oven cavity. These can be cleaned separately with your favorite dish soap, some warm water and a sponge. The oven cavity can be wiped down with the same solution or with any oven-safe cleaner of choice. Wipe all areas of the oven cavity’s top, bottom, and sides with a sponge or any non-abrasive cloth.

Stubborn dirt and grime can be tackled by initiating a manual self-cleaning process in your oven. Simply fill a shallow baking pan with some water, add a few drops of either lemon juice or white vinegar, and place it in the center of the oven rack. Set the oven to the bake mode and at the highest possible temperature. Let the cycle run for about an hour as it burns off excess grease and grime and turns it into an ash-like substance. Once the cavity has completely cooled, you can easily wipe out residue with a soft sponge or cloth. Before closing the oven door, be sure to completely dry all surfaces with a microfiber or other soft cloth.

If you have a self-cleaning oven from Verona, then most of the time-consuming manual labor will be done for you – leaving you with more time to complete other tasks like setting the table or wrapping gifts. The self-cleaning function works by burning off crumbs, grease, and other cooking residues at temperatures as high as 860°F and may take anywhere between an hour to three hours, depending on how dirty the inside of the oven cavity is.   

Before starting this process, make sure to remove the broiler pan, oven racks and any additional bakeware or utensils. The oven accessories can be cleaned separately with warm, soapy water and a sponge. It is also important to wipe up any spills or excess grease before turning on a self-clean cycle to avoid flames and smoke inside the cavity during the cleaning process. Note that while the self-cleaning function is on, the oven cavity door will automatically lock and will not unlock until the interior of the cavity cools to a safe temperature.

After running a cycle, you can easily lift the leftover ash in the oven cavity with a damp paper towel and wipe it dry. Please visit the self-cleaning oven manual for more information.

Don’t Forget About the Oven Door!

The interior glass on the oven door can easily be a forgotten part of the cleaning process. Verona’s triple-pane glass dThe interior glass on the oven door can easily be a forgotten part of the cleaning process. Verona’s triple-pane glass doors are built to tackle those tricky drip marks easily. Remove the retaining screws and then carefully lift away the glass from the door with a screwdriver. You can clean the glass with your favorite glass cleaning solution. Refer to your specific appliance’s operation manual for step-by-step instructions with figures to help guide you.

We recommend checking the Operation Manual of your specific Verona model for more cleaning tips. You can view the full product library here.

From our family to yours, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.

Verona’s Guide to Kitchen Ventilation Systems

by

Ventilation solutions are critical components for every kitchen and choosing the right one is an important step in the kitchen renovation process. Kitchen ventilation fans work to pull the air around you into filters or a duct to remove odors, grease, moisture, smoke, and harmful particles from the kitchen as you cook. Determining the right ventilation system for your kitchen can be complex, as it is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

You will want to consider what options are available, your style preferences, as well as the structure of your home, your local township regulations and more. We recommend you consult with an appliance professional about which hood is best for you, but for now, we will provide you with a guide of talking points so you can be prepared for an informed conversation.

Know What Types of Ventilation Options are Available

Verona range hoods are designed and engineered with great attention to detail and use only the best quality components available. Featuring powerful multi-speed fans, LED lighting and pro-style upgrades, every Verona hood pairs perfectly with Verona cooking products in an array of sizes and colors for the ultimate choice in performance and design. We have three ventilation options available.

  • Verona Chimney Hoods: A chimney hood is often installed on the wall and eliminates the need for a cabinet over the range or cooktop. The design of this hood often serves as a focal point in the kitchen and can complement the range.
  • Verona Low Profile Range Hoods: A low-profile range hood is mounted directly onto the bottom of a kitchen cabinet and centered above the range or cooktop.
  • Verona Range Hood Inserts: A hood insert is installed directly into a hole cut either in the ceiling or a custom surround. The hoods’ motor box is hidden for a seamless, straight-line design. It’s the perfect hood for appliances installed on an island, peninsula or in a nook.

Determine What Suits Your Style…

Now that you have a general idea of what hoods are available from Verona, you’ll want to think about your overall kitchen vision and which hood will best match your style.

  • The Focal Point: The Verona Chimney Hood offers a lean, straight-line design with rounded edges for a pro-style look. This style hood can easily be the star of any kitchen. In addition, the chef-inspired design will make you feel like you’re cooking in a professional kitchen at home!

  • The Traditionalist: The Verona Low Profile Range Hood installs under an upper cabinet. It’s best for when you would like the hood to be part of the kitchen design, but not the focal point. The low-profile hood is both functional and economical in its design, as it allows to for valuable upper storage in kitchens that are tight on space.

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: The Verona Hood Insert has a clean, slim design with commercial-style performance. This hood is often hidden or integrated into a custom surround designed to match the kitchen cabinetry or as a bold design element.

… and Meets Your Needs

Although you may have a particular style hood in mind, you will also need to consider what will meet the needs of your cooking style and your home. Here are a few questions that should be addressed when choosing ventilation.

  • How many CFMs will you need? CFM stands for cubic feet per minute. This tells you how fast the range hood can move air. The higher the CFM, the faster the air can be moved out of the space. How many CFMs you will need depends on a multitude of factors, including the size and layout of your kitchen. Is it open concept or a micro-sized space? Are there windows? How high are the ceilings? All of these components will be a factor in the CFM power needed. Also consider the width of your cooking appliance and the burner power and fuel type – the larger and more powerful your appliance is, the more CFM’s you will need. Verona’s ventilation options deliver powerful performance from 600 CFMs for smaller cooktops and up to 1,200 CFMs for larger cooktops.
  • How will the air be vented in your home? There are two main types of venting methods: external and recirculating. External venting will push air outside to the roof or the side of the home using vents and ducts. The recirculating method, common in condos or apartments, does not require outside ventilation. Instead, air is filtered through the hood first before being released back into the room.
  • How do you currently cook at home? Think about the type of cooking you do most often. Some range hoods have filters specifically for capturing grease, which can be helpful if you frequently cook with oil. You will also want to think about personal preferences, like if you would prefer extra lighting, want variable fan speeds or a vent that can be controlled by a remote or will automatically adjust fan speed depending on the heat and smoke in the room. Discussing your preferences and cooking habits can help your representative guide you to ventilation that will best suit your needs.

We hope these pointers allow you to feel more confident in your ventilation selection and will help guide you as you work through your kitchen renovation.
