Diwali is just around the corner and I feel like I am running out of time. For those of you who are not familiar with Diwali, let me educate you. It is one of the biggest Hindu/Indian festivals. This year it falls on October 23rd and depending on the year, Diwali can last from three to four days. This is one of my favorite festivals and I have fond memories of my mom cooking tons of sweet and savory snacks in the preparation of this festival.
Living in New Jersey has allowed me the opportunity to carry forward the same traditions and in turn create memories for my girls. My preparations for Diwali start almost a week before the actual festival. I allot each day to prepare one snack or sweet, which is a time consuming effort. Most of the snacks that I prepare include frying. I spend at least three to four hours on my feet prepping and frying stuff.
It is during days like these I wish I had the use of appliances from Best Buy. I wish I had their Frigidaire and Whirlpool line of appliances. I am sure with their Frigidaire FGIF3061NF induction cooking range I would be able to enormously reduce my cooking time. After all, if you can boil water in less than two minutes, then imagine what you could do when you have to heat oil and boil sugar syrup simultaneously!
The other feature of this range that would help out a lot is that the spills don’t burn. You can ask any Indian woman about this and they will all agree. Indian cooking is very messy. With all the frying, boiling, sauteing, simmering and tempering; liquids and ingredients end up flying in all different direction. Anything that falls over the range ends up being burnt and very difficult to clean. Cleaning would be a breeze with Frigidaire cooking range as spills don’t burn and can easily be wiped away.
Even though my preparation for Diwali cooking does not include any baking, I do bake a lot especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas time. I would love to have Whirlpool WGG555S0BS double ovens which I feel would reduce my cooking time in half. The double ovens allows you to cook two dishes at two different temperatures at once and that is a huge help especially when I have tons of baking to do. You would assume an appliance like this would hog all the space in the kitchen right? No, absolutely not. It is compact enough to fit within the space of a standard range.
I am eagerly looking forward to Diwali and making all those delicious treats and sweets. In the meantime, if you wish to learn more about Frigidaire and Whirlpool’s line of appliances click here at appliance from Best Buy.

I would love to have a brand new range like one of these. They are so much more “modern” than my current one.
Leaned something new today. Didn’t know what Diwali was! I do a lot of banking so I can see how these two ranges would be useful! Especially when you need to cook for a lot of people!
Being able to cook at two different temperatures is incredible. What a help that is!
Having appliances that are easy to clean is really nice! Especially during the heavier baking/cooking times like Thanksgiving and Christmas!
I don’t know why, but I never associate Best Buy with kitchen appliances. But after seeing that double oven, I bet I won’t forget about them again! (Especially since I’m going to tell the hubs that I must have it! LOL)
Nice ranges. Best Buy really has great buys for great prices
We could live in Best Buy! My kids love a the electronic section and I love the appliances!
Those double ovens are beautiful. I can only hope to upgrade my kitchen one day.
I always check Best Buy when i am looking to buy something new. I love the great customer service i have always received.
What some great ideas – Best Buy sounds like a great place to buy appliances from as well 🙂 x
It is my dream to have a double oven! I need to drag hubby to Best Buy and start giving him ideas before our stove bites the big one.
I love the deals one cam find at Best Buy. I miss the one we had near us in Phoenix.
Even if I’m not looking for an appliance, I mosey on through the appliance section at Best Buy every time I go. They’ve got some real beauties!
I am appliance shopping and that double oven is very sexy! I love it. I rarely think of best buy in that space so these posts are helping me make a big decision. These are big chunks of money so it’s important to compare.
Wow! A holiday that last 3-4 days! That sounds very cool! I also love the dual oven stove! I’ve been thinking about upgrading lately…hmmm…trip to best buy may be in my future! 😉
The double range is the way to go. I replaced my old range with a double and will never go back.
We are loyal Best Buy customers! I think we’ve pretty much bought all our appliances and electronics there.
Best Buy is a great place to buy appliances. We’ve purchased just about all of our major appliances from them.
I love Best Buy! They have great products and a knowledgable staff!
I told my husband that the first thing I will buy when we no longer rent will be a double oven. I would love to be able to cook two things at the same time!
How cool. I love going to best buy to see the newest kitchen technologies.
We purchased our last washer from there and plan to go there when we are searching for appliances for our new house. They have so many great deals it is perfect since we need money for Christmas presents too.
I am loving the Stainless Steal products. We just re did our kitchen with all stainless steal.
I’m a Best Buy girl for sure. They have great products and good customer service.
I bake so much more during the Christmas season: brownies,cookies, cakes, truffles, and so much more! Having a decent oven is a big asset to any kitchen.
I’ll have to start hinting now to the hubby. I love this oven!
Love Best Buy and I love the double ovens!
I was just at Best Buy over the weekend! And Diwali sounds wonderful – I’ve never known anyone who celebrates! I do hope you post about it!
I have never been in a Best Buy… but after seeing this oven, I need to stop and look at it. Mine is only 7 years old but already it is acting up.
I would love to have a new stove! I am positive that the temperature on my oven is way off. I used to be an excellent cook now everything is either burned or raw. I also switched from gas to electric so I don’t know. I have to stick with electric now but would love to get a new stove. I love Best Buy it’s my favorite store and the first place I go when I need something big!
I do a lot of my shopping at Best Buy. They definitely have a lot of great gift ideas!
