Gerhard’s Appliances – Impress your friends and family at your summer barbecue with beer can chicken

Roasting a chicken on your charcoal grill is a delectable meal during any season, but now that spring and summer barbecue season is on the horizon, you can try something new this year on your Gerhards appliance.

After about an hour and a half or when the internal temperature of the kitchen gets between 165 and 180 degrees, it should be ready to carve.

Gerhard’s Appliances – Turkey burgers are a great way to get your kids to eat healthier

There are few things that are more delicious than a good hamburger, and it's one of the easiest dishes to whip up for your family. However, eating excessive amounts of ground beef isn't good for their health, so finding a nutritional alternative should be a top priority. Turkey burgers are a great change of pace for your weekday dinner menu and they can be customized to suit your family's tastes.

Making turkey burgers is just as simple as making beef patties, but since turkey isn't as flavorful as beef, you'll have to compensate. Consider chopping a few garlic cloves, peppers and onions to add to the batch to give the burgers a tasty boost.

You can choose to cook the burgers in a pan or simply throw them on the grill. Instead of adding cheese to the burgers, consider whipping up an aioli spread or roasting some onions to put on top. Lastly, opt for wheat rolls instead of white bread to give your family a healthier option.

With spring on the horizon, now would be the perfect time to invest in a Gerhards appliance for the kitchen or the outdoors to improve your culinary capabilities.
