And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My Mom gave my wife and I one of those when we married in 1968....she cooked everything from stews to pineapple upside down cake in that thing....it went well with the book "A thousand ways to cook hamburger"....
All I see is a pan full of calf's liver, onions & gravy with sides of mashed potatoes & spinach. I can still smell it when I walk in my grandmother's house & she's been gone for 40yrs. Never again.
My mom's was a Faberware. She had one of those Faberware indoor grills too, with a rotisserie. As much as I love BBQ, the memories of that smell of herbed meat roasting on the spit, sitting there on the kitchen counter and filling the house with that aroma, is making my mouth water even now.
Great for cooking foods that would stink up the inside of a house. Fish - liver and the like. It is easy to use and we still use it occasionally. Once lost the power cord (never turned up eitherr) but Mom had one at her house that she no longer used and donated it to us. Single prong, temperature switch on the plug but cannot for life of me remember the manufacturer.
Sometimes you can find those replacement cords at a hardware store. I found a two prong (female) cord that looked just like the original for a Lyman Mould Master furnace used for casting bullets. I had to drive 40 miles to find it, but there it was in an Ace hardware and farm supply store. It wasn't in any stores near me, but they had it and it was a perfect match to the original. Short story long, seek and ye shall find.
Best line a few of these up when the eeevvviiiillll and deadly gas stove is outlawed and removed from out homes, for the chiiiilllldren, of course, and we get our daily allotment of electric power to operate them.
I have to laugh at the gas stove bad freaks. Like with battery powered cars, they just don't understand that the power to charge the battery or cook your food with an electric stove comes from coal. Meanwhile, the Chinese are bringing a new coal fired power plant online every week and have been doing so since the late 00's this century.
Countertop Electric Appliances were very Popular in the '50s and '60s. I still have a Waffle/Pancake Grill, Hardboiled Egg Cooker, and Popcorn Popper. Had a Cooking Pan like this, but my Sister claimed it. All these run 120 Volts, at 900-1500 Watts, and along with a small Toaster Oven, all I need to Countertop Cook in the House Van I live in behind the Barn...
I remember getting one of these as a wedding present more than 50 years ago.

Yep, Mom had one. Heck, I even bought my own after I moved out. They were great.
ReplyDeleteMy mother had one also. The thing lasted forever, for all I know she may have still had it when she died

ReplyDeleteaww man, liver and onions.
DeleteMy mother made that nasty shit weekly.
Never ate it again after I moved out.

ReplyDeleteShe only used it for fried potatoes… yummmmmm….
ReplyDeleteLamb chops. They were great.
ReplyDeleteMy folks used theirs a lot when I was a kid.

My grandmother had one, she used it when she ran out of burners on the stove. The woman loved to cook.

have you noticed the "pickup trucks are racist and deadly" dreck going around?
Deletethe things have been in use for a hundred years and nobody saw a problem until last week?
if only people understood that "how stupid can you be?" is an alert, not a challenge.
