It’s almost time to stock the kitchen with Irish foods and beverages. So, our refrigerator repair El Paso experts know that many of you may have questions about storing St. Patrick’s Day staples. That said, we’ve rounded up more refrigerator advice than anyone can shake a shillelagh at and put it into today’s blog post. Hopefully, it will help keep the green in your pockets and off of your corned beef and cabbage. So hold on to your shamrocks and let’s get started:
Corned Beef
Whether you’re making your own corned beef or buying it pre-seasoned, it doesn’t matter. Storing the leftovers should be handled in the same way. By all food experts’ accounts, it has to be put back into storage no more than two hours after it comes out of the oven or crockpot. If you are going to put it in the refrigerator, make sure that the family eats it up within four days. If that’s not possible, freeze it instead. Just be sure to finish off the leftovers within three months. Otherwise, the corned beef will lose its delicious flavor.
Boiled Cabbage
As for the boiled cabbage, try to convince the family to finish off the pot before they leave the table. That’s because cooked cabbage does not store well at all, whether you put it into the fridge or freezer. It has a propensity to lose texture, a lot of flavor and color within hours. So it’s highly unlikely that anyone will find it appetizing after a day or two in cold storage. Nonetheless, if you want to save it anyway, put it in the fridge the same time you pack away the leftover corned beef.
Boiled Potatoes
Similar can be said about those lovely, boiled potatoes. They have a tendency to discolor and turn mushy if left in the fridge or freezer to long. If everyone is too full to eat them, try covering the potatoes with paper towels and putting them in to the fridge within two hours of boiling. The towels should help sop up any excess moisture until you’re ready to reheat them. If you’d rather freeze them, that’s okay too. Just follow basic flash freezing procedures before bagging them up for later. Oh, and be sure to finish them off within a month or two. Failure to do so may leave you with a tasteless, mushy, discolored mess.
Irish Cream

Are you planning on serving homemade Irish cream too? If so, keep in mind that it is made from dairy products. Consequently, any leftovers should go immediately into an air-tight, sterilized container and directly into the fridge. Then encourage the family to drink it all up within a week. Otherwise, the milk may spoil and make everyone deathly sick.

Appliance Repair Team’s Quick Tips for Increasing Ice Machine Efficiency

It’s officially summer and that means it’s time to put those indoor ovens on hiatus and get those ice machines in tip-top shape. If your kitchen’s unit could use some attention before backyard party guests start lining up for pitchers of mojitos, don’t squeeze those limes in despair just yet. Our appliance repair El Paso techs are experts at quickly getting ice machines running at peak efficiency.
They’ll often start by checking to see that the ice machine is in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled area and hooked up to a proper, cold water supply inlet complete with shut-off valve. Having the unit in an enclosed area where temperatures frequently climb above 70 degrees Fahrenheit is a real no-no. The same may be said for using the wrong copper tubing and valves.
If the ice machine is hooked up correctly and positioned in the right type of environment, our appliance repair techs will move on to the next step, leveling. Leveling the machine and keeping it plumb is of the utmost importance. Failure to do so will cause the ice machine to malfunction, which could result in parts replacement. If damage has already occurred prior to our tech’s arrival, never fear. Our parts department is stocked to the rim with high quality, brand name and after market ice machine parts.
To continue, the machine must also be spotless to produce perfect, large amounts of ice in time for cocktail hour and beyond. That said, our ice machine experts recommend completing a deep cleaning at the start of barbecue season as well as at the end. Deep cleaning procedures will clearly vary based on the type of ice machine in place. If you don’t know how to deep clean the machine, ask us or the manufacturer for some sound advice.
To learn more about putting your home’s ice machine into commission for the summer season, please contact us in El Paso at SoBellas Home Appliance Repair today. Our summer appointment books are filling up fast but some ice machine repair slots still remain.
