The Best Cooking Gifts of 2021 for Storing Leftovers

Leather Cleaning Guide

Posted by Braden on October 14, 2021

 

How to clean your new leather furniture

Thinking about buying a new leather sofa, loveseat, or chair, or are you wondering the best way to clean and maintain your new leather furniture? Let RC Willey help you make the most of your investment with this leather cleaning guide.

Clean your leather sofa or chair regularly

Leather is a durable material that, when cared for, will develop a rich and unique patina that just gets better with age. However, if left uncleaned, your sofa may not age so gracefully.

Make it a habit to clean your leather at least once a week. Be sure to clean every part of the leather to avoid uneven coloring.

Here are some easy-to-follow steps:

  • Go over your leather upholstery with a soft cloth. Brush off any loose dirt, dust, or debris that may have settled on the material. You may want to use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment
  • Use a damp cloth and wipe the upholstery. It’s best to use distilled water, if possible, as chlorinated water may damage the leather finish over time. Remember, before you begin using anything on leather it’s best to test it on a part of the sofa that is hidden to avoid unwanted discoloring. Oh, and don’t overdo it. Leather doesn’t take kindly to large quantities of liquid.
  • At least monthly you should use a specialized cleaning product to treat and cleanse your sofa’s upholstery. 
  • Let your sofa dry naturally. Avoid sitting on it until it is finished as to not disrupt the shape of your sofa.

How to Clean a Spill on your Leather Sofa

Leather is tough, but it is still vulnerable to staining. If you have a major spill, pet accident, or boo boo, time is of the essence! Reacting quickly to a mess will vastly reduce the chance that your sofa is marked, stained, or marred.

Here’s what you need to know:

Take a dry cloth or piece of paper towel and carefully blot the spill—avoid wiping as this can ingrain the liquid into the material.

If you need to do a bit more than gentle blotting, a damp cloth may be gently applied as well. Remember that for greasy spills water can make things worse, so avoid it!

Grab your Leather Cleaning Kit and get to work if needed!

Let it dry. Don’t be too worried if the spill area looks dark, it should be closer to normal when it dries.

We recommend adding a 5-year leather protection plan to all new leather purchases to ensure you’re covered! With RC Willey Blue Rewards you’ll receive half back on any unused warranties.

3 Incredible Benefits of Air Fry Cooking (And How to Choose the Air Fryer That’s Right for You)

Posted by RC Willey Community on September 14, 2021

Air fryers. You might have heard about them before; they've become very popular in the last few years. As an avid home chef, I found mentions of air fryers on my favorite cooking blogs long before I made the leap to purchasing an air fryer for myself. And boy, do I wish I had done so earlier because the air fryer has revolutionized the way I cook. 

One of the best things about air fryers is you don’t need to be a Michelin Star chef to use one and reap the rewards. An air fryer is a great tool to have in your kitchen whether you’re an experienced cook or a novice. Air fryers hold numerous benefits for all home chefs, from eliminating the need for additional appliances to enabling you to cook healthier meals without sacrificing flavor. Here are just a few of the benefits of air fry cooking: 

 1. Healthy cooking made easy (and delicious) 

Are you looking for a simple way to eat healthier? So am I! And the air fryer is one tool that can help you reach that goal—without even having to give up some of your favorite “unhealthy” foods. 

 As its name suggests, the air fryer is designed to “fry” foods using very hot air. This means you don’t need to dunk your food in a vat of oil to get that crispy, crunchy fried finish. French fries, buffalo wings, fried chicken, potato chips, mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, and so much more can be “fried” in the air fryer with either no oil or a LOT less oil than would be used in traditional oil frying. This means you’re consuming less fat and fewer calories. 

In addition, research has shown that heating cooking oils to high temperatures can make them release inflammatory compounds that can contribute to chronic disease, including cancer. With air frying, you eliminate the need for these heated oils. 

Try out my favorite sweet potato fry recipe if you’re ready to see how the air fryer can fry. Believe me, you won’t miss the traditional fryer at all! 

 2. Less mess means less cleaning 

Traditional oil frying methods are not only unhealthy, but they’re also quite messy. You end up with a pan of used oil that needs to be thrown out, and that oil has usually splattered around your kitchen a bit, too. You also have to let your home-fried french fries, potato chips, or fried chicken drain off excess oil onto a paper towel before serving. 

 All of that mess is nonexistent with an air fryer. Since you aren’t frying with oil, there’s no oil to throw out, no splatter to clean up, and no need to “drain” your food. If any oil, fat, or water does come off of your food while it’s cooking in the air fryer, it’s contained within the appliance and is collected on a tray or drawer for you to easily clean up. Plus, most air fryers are dishwasher safe, so you can toss the fryer basket or tray into the dishwasher for a fast, convenient clean. 

 3. All-in-one versatility 

If you’re like me, you really enjoy your kitchen appliances. I have several that I feel I can’t live without—the air fryer being one of them. However, it’s easy to gradually acquire a few too many appliances, and pretty soon, your kitchen is cluttered with a dozen little machines that have only one function. 

 The air fryer, however, does so much more than only fry. Most air fryers can fry, roast (like this fan-favorite air fryer brussels sprouts recipe), toast, broil, dehydrate, bake (did you know you can bake cookies in an air fryer?!), and more. So if you’re looking at an air fryer toaster oven, get ready to get rid of your old toaster, your food dehydrator, and maybe a few other appliances that have been collecting dust under your counter. Plus, air fryers are excellent for reheating food. Are you tired of your leftover pizza getting warm but soggy in the microwave? An air fryer quickly reheats your food while keeping it crispy. 

 Or you can opt for a range with air frying capabilities and eliminate the need for an additional appliance altogether. Did you ever think the day would come when you could air fry chicken, vegetables, burgers, desserts, and much more right in your oven? That day has come! This makes it easy to declutter your kitchen, knowing you have all of the functionality you need in one place. 

 Which Type of Air Fryer Is Right for You? 

All air fryers work using the same basic concept: they circulate very hot air to cook food. However, as mentioned above, there are a few different styles of air fryers. Here are the three main types of air fryers and some tips for choosing the right one for you: 

Basket air fryer 

The basket-style air fryer is a countertop appliance that features a drawer with a removable basket (similar to a deep fryer basket). A heating element is positioned above the drawer, and a fan blows the heated air down into the basket to cook the food. Basket air fryers, like this Ninja Digital Air Fryer, are typically cylindrical in shape. The Ninja Digital Air Fryer also has multiple functions, including dehydrate. It features a ceramic-coated basket that is both non-stick and dishwasher safe. 

 

A basket air fryer might be right for you if you want to take up the least amount of counter space, as air fryer ovens (see below) are usually larger. Basket air fryers also heat up the space around the appliance less, making it a great option for cooking during hot weather. A basket air fryer allows you to pause the cooking part way through to shake the food, ensuring even cooking and crisping. Finally, basket air fryers are typically the least expensive style of air fryers, making it a great choice if you’re on a budget. 

Air fryer oven 

An air fryer oven also uses a heating element that is positioned above the food and a fan that circulates the hot air. Instead of a drawer with a fryer-style basket, however, an air fryer oven is similar to a toaster oven. It has racks that hold crisper or baking trays beneath the heating element. 

 

Air fryer ovens typically have more functions available than basket air fryers. The Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven, for example, can air fry, air roast, air broil, bake, toast, and dehydrate. It also has bagel and keep warm settings. In general, air fryer ovens have greater capacities than basket air fryers, so you can cook or warm more food at once. The rack positions allow you to move your food closer to or farther from the heating element to control the cooking. In addition, you can see your food through the glass door while it cooks, which isn’t possible with basket air fryers. 

Range or Wall Oven with Air Fry 

Welcome to 2021: we now have ranges with air fry functions! In this air fryer option, your oven comes equipped with air fry functionality. This eliminates the need altogether for an additional countertop appliance. A range with air fry allows you to “fry” foods—in a healthier way—right in your oven. 

 

If you are in the market for a new range or you are choosing appliances for a new kitchen, a range with air fry is an excellent option. Ranges with air fry are available with either gas or electric ranges. For example, you can choose between this GE Electric Range with Air Fry, this GE Gas Range with Air Fry, or this GE InstaView Gas Range with Air Fry. The Samsung Gas Range with Air Fry also offers a larger capacity (6 cu ft) to give you more space to cook more food, faster. (Did I mention that the Samsung Gas Range with Air Fry is smart, too? This enables you to monitor your cooktop and adjust the oven temperature from anywhere.) And of course, these ranges have all of the normal functionality of a range as well. 

 What Can You Cook in Your Air Fryer? 

As I’ve mentioned, air fryers are incredibly versatile, so there are few foods that cannot be cooked in an air fryer. Meats, seafood, vegetables, sandwiches, and even desserts can all be cooked in your air fryer. In the first month of owning my air fryer, I used it to cook: chicken breasts, roasted potatoes, sweet potato fries, zucchini fries, okra, hamburgers, pizza, Chick-fil-A style chicken sandwiches, bratwurst, pork chops, corn on the cob, salmon, chimichangas, and stromboli. (My family didn’t know what hit them!) When I say the sky's the limit when it comes to cooking with an air fryer, I mean it! 

Here are a few of my favorite air fryer recipes to get you started: 

 

 

One more benefit of air fry cooking? There are tons of other people out there with air fryers, so recipes are plentiful! If you ever wonder if a recipe can be made in the air fryer, a quick online search will turn up helpful information and probably more than one recipe that’s ready for you to use. 

 

It’s clear to see that air fry cooking holds huge benefits—and frankly, it’s fun to see what you can cook in your air fryer next. Learn from my mistake of putting off adopting air fry cooking, and pick up your air fryer or a range with air fry sooner than later. You’ll be glad you did!

Living Room Refresh With @simplyminedesigns

Posted by Kelsie on September 24, 2020

Living Room Refresh With @simplyminedesigns

This month we teamed up with Shanna from @simplyminedesigns on a living room refresh! "The vision we had for our family room makeover was simple: to create a space for gathering where there would be room for everyone to sit while we enjoy movie nights" she said.

When styling a living room, it helps to pick out the larger furniture items first, like a sofa or sectional. This will be the main focal point of the room. “I knew a sectional would be the perfect addition to this space. So we started there. We chose the Orion brown 4 piece sectional.” This sectional offers a welcoming vibe and will provide plenty of seating for Shanna and her family and friends.

Before:

After:

She completed the room with a distressed white 3 piece entertainment unit, upgraded her 32” TV to a 65” Samsung Smart TV, and added a sound bar. “We now have a space perfect for movie nights and gathering together!”

Before:

Living Room Refresh With @galvanized_chic_boutique

Living Room Refresh With @galvanized_chic_boutique

We recently had the opporutinity to collaborate on a living room refresh with Kari at @galvanized_chic_boutique!

"When deciding what we wanted to add to our living room refresh I instantly knew I wanted to add a leather sectional. Leather furniture is my favorite" Kari said. 

She chose our Denali steel gray sectional to be the focal point in the room. This sectional offers deep seating, making it the perfect spot to relax with family and friends! "I then added some fun throw pillows, throws and a new rug! I wanted to tie in a pop of yellow so I started with some fun lemon stems, added a little lemon tree, and a yellow knit throw blanket to tie it all in."  The gray coloring of the Denali sectional makes is extremely verstille and works well with any color scheme.

 

Once Kari had selected her new sectional, she wanted to update the T.V. in her living room as well. Kari updated her old T.V. with a LG 4K Smart TV!

 

"I'm absolutely loving the transformation! Thank you @rcwilley for the fun room refresh!"

There are a few key elements to consider when picking out patio furniture. First- consider the size of your patio and the amount of space you can utilize. There are so many furniture options for small patios, large patios, and everything in between. Make sure your furniture doesn't make your space feel too cramped or look odly small in comparison to the rest of the patio. When shopping, keep in mind how many people you want to accomodate. Also, consider what area of your patio you want to place your furniture based on the amount of direct sunlight it receives.

Living Room Refresh With @greybirchdesigns

Posted by Kelsie on February 17, 2020
Living Room Refresh With @greybirchdesigns
 
We recently had the opportunity to collaborate with Kaycie from @greybirchdesigns on a living room refresh for her home. For her, as well as many of us, the living room is the most used space in the home. It is where family and friends gather together, so it is important to ensure that it is an enjoyable space to be in! If you are thinking about refreshing a room in your home, make a list of the specific things you want to achieve with the space. This will give you a clear sense of direction and will make the process much easier. 
 
There were a few things Kaycie wanted to make sure she incorporated in her new living room. First, she wanted to be able to comfortably seat her family of 7. Second, she wanted to make sure the room was both beautiful and functional. Lastly, she wanted pieces of furniture that would brighten up the room. 
 
Kaycie first started by selecting a sofa, since that would be the largest piece of furniture in the space. She chose our Griffin Sectional Sofa because it is comfortable, offers her ample seating, and the light color instantly brightened up the room. Once she had the sofa picked out, she was ready to design the rest of the room around it. Kaycie paired our Magnolia Home Furniture Coffee Table with our Magnolia Home Furniture End Table for a cohesive look. She then accented the room with a cement table lamp and some cozy throw pillows
 
Here is a before and after of her space:

We absolutely love how her living room refresh turned out, and we hope this gives you some inspiration if you are looking to freshen up your living room as well!
