Basically, the sexiest, can’t-stop-reading appliance blog posts of this year, based on page views, in reverse order. Enjoy:
10. Refrigerator temperature: What temperature should a refrigerator be set at?
If you think I’m going to tell you this one without making you jump, you don’t read this blog enough.

To ensure proper temperatures, air has to be able to flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections.
9. Outdoor kitchen ideas: Part 1
Certified Kitchen Designer Susan Serra guest blogged about big picture considerations for outdoor kitchens.
8. Liebherr cigar humidor blows no smoke
Can’t find this specialty item anywhere else in Minnesota, as far as I know. Very distinctive…and popular on the interwebs, apparently.
7. Outdoor kitchen ideas: Part 2
I round up some of my outdoor kitchen product picks.
6. Warners’ Stellian Warehouse Sale: It’s baa-ack…
I guess people like the warehouse sale as much as I do.
5. Should you put aluminum foil in the oven?
I dunno…should you?
4. Dishwasher troubleshooting: Dishwasher leaving white film on glasses
So, this topic pretty much exploded after many states banned phosphates in their detergents, prompting even the New York Times to weigh in.
3. HOW TO: get an appliance stimulus rebate
Ah, the stimulus. I will always remember it fondly. Preparing for months for what lasted about 25 hours. I have say, we were pretty much right in everything we predicted. So if you were listening to us, you were probably in good shape.
2. HOW TO: Shop the Warners’ Stellian Warehouse Sale like a pro
This post contains all my best advice for appliance shopping in general, I think , so it’s relevant for anyone.
1. Refrigerator seal & fridge maintenance
So, views of this post were bolstered by a couple links from Lifehacker (yeah, we’re pretty impressive like that), but c’mon, the Vaseline tip is still pretty sweet.
Bonus: My two favorite blogs of the year, because I’m self-involved:
Before Brangelina, there was Stellian
Insight into what makes my grandpa’s predecessors almost as cool as my grandpa’s, um, postdecessors.
Did you see that freezer running through St. Paul?
Because it was awkward and uncomfortable and one of the weirdest things I’ve ever brewed up (that’s saying a lot).
Thanks for a great 2010. I’m hoping for things to remain flat in 2011, because after last year, that’s still saying a lot
