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.
Don’t know about now but bought a Viking Oven about 10 years ago…. Temperature was so inconsistent it could not even bake cake. Only one side of the pan would rise.
hard NO! From a family of 13 & raised 8 kids or our own, the oven(s) are way too small, and it lacks a griddle. We had ovens big enough to hold a 35lb Turkey we would raise, each oven could hold 8 large loaf pans of bread (which we baked weekly). The griddle area had 3 burners, 3lbs of bacon, or 12 pancakes at one time, that's how my parents cooked. We would have been waiting for hours to eat as a family with that pretty little toy.
needs a vented heater on side to warm the house at night when no one is baking. I've got one in the basement that doubles as an extra oven or a heat source when the electricity is out.
It's not a Viking but it'll do!
ReplyDeleteNah, Viking has gone downhill. Check it out.
DeleteIt's hard to improve on perfection.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a nice stove to have.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone identify it? It looks like 6 burners, at least 2 ovens, maybe some warmers. Quite a unit.

My grandparents had one very similar, but there was a griddle over the two middle burners.
ReplyDeleteNothing quite like crew-served kitchen appliances, but I'll bet my ex m-i-l could wear that thing out.
