How to enjoy fall festivities, stress-free

October 14, 2025 at 10:01 AM EDT

(BPT) - Autumn is a fantastic time of year for gatherings, from Oktoberfest and Halloween parties through Thanksgiving - with plenty of homegating get-togethers in between! To keep your focus on family, friends and fun, here are tips and top kitchen tools from the lifestyle experts at LG to help you be ready for any celebrations that come your way this season.

Stock your fridge

To avoid last-minute grocery panic and ensure plentiful snacks for impromptu get-togethers, list your tried-and-true crowd-pleasers with necessary ingredients. Check your fridge and pantry so you can stock up on essentials before you need them.

Keeping food fresh is crucial, so if you're in the market for a new refrigerator - especially in a tight space - check out the LG Counter-Depth MAX™ with Zero Clearance™ 3-Door French Door Refrigerator with Thin Door Design. Its Zero Clearance™ hinges let you install this refrigerator next to a wall or adjacent cabinets for a nearly built-in look. Combined with the thin door design, it lets you fully open both French doors, even in tight spaces.[1] The LG French door refrigerator offers their first and largest capacity freestanding counter-depth refrigerator with Zero Clearance™, giving you ample space for your family's favorite foods, keeping them conveniently organized and within reach.

Lean on "Chef Mike"

Even accomplished home cooks sometimes need more speed, especially when facing a hungry, clamoring crowd. A high-quality microwave helps prep all kinds of dishes quickly, from loaded baked potatoes or quesadillas to tasty dips - and desserts like microwave cakes and s'mores.

A microwave with the latest tech makes all the difference. Using LG's 1.3 cu. ft. Smart Low Profile Over-the-Range Microwave Oven with Sensor Cook, you can select from a menu of sensor cooking options and let the microwave determine when the food is ready. Pre-programmed settings and humidity-sensing technology helps you create perfectly cooked meals, without worrying about cook times or power levels. Even better, its EasyClean^® interior resists stains and buildup for easy cleanup.

Elevate your cooking game

Autumn is the perfect time to discover new recipes and use freshly harvested produce to inspire creations like craveable snacks for homegating, spooky Halloween-themed treats and comfort food for chilly evenings.

Celebrate your culinary aspirations using chef-inspired appliances like LG's 6.3 cu. ft. Smart Induction Slide-In Range with InstaView^®, ProBake Convection^®, Air Fry and Air Sous Vide. This range offers a uniquely designed induction cooktop with exceptional power and precision for fast, even cooking. LG's ProBake Convection^® brings professional technology home with an oven mode that automatically selects the lower speed for delicate baking or the higher speed for air frying and roasting. It also provides faster preheating, quicker cooking and more even baking on multiple racks at the same time. You'll enjoy the versatility of its air fry and air sous vide modes, letting you quickly air fry enough crispy favorites to feed a crowd - saving time and counter space.

Make clean-up a breeze

When the party's over, enlist your whole crew for clean-up duty so you won't wake up to a messy kitchen. Assigning age-appropriate tasks ahead of time means everyone will know what to do.

Tackle post-dinner cleanup like a pro using LG's Smart FlushFit™ Top Control Dishwasher with 1-Hour Wash & Dry, QuadWash^® Pro, TrueSteam^® and Dynamic Heat Dry™ w/AutoVent Dry™. The enhanced cleaning power of LG's exclusive QuadWash^® Pro and Dynamic Heat Dry™ technologies combine to deliver a one-hour wash and dry cycle for sparkling, table-ready dishes quickly, so you can spend more time on what matters. High-pressure jets spray dishes from multiple angles while soaking them with over one million microbubbles to help break down stubborn food residue for exceptional cleaning performance. Dynamic Heat Dry™ technology then circulates hot air throughout the dishwasher for faster, more complete drying (compared to LG dishwashers without Dynamic Heat Dry™ technology) that won't melt your plastics, delivering sparkling, table-ready dishes right off the rack. Big party? You'll save time by fitting more dishes and everything from long flatware to small cups with the height-adjustable 3rd rack.
