  4. Can anyone identify it? It looks like 6 burners, at least 2 ovens, maybe some warmers. Quite a unit.

  5. My grandparents had one very similar, but there was a griddle over the two middle burners.

  6. Nothing quite like crew-served kitchen appliances, but I'll bet my ex m-i-l could wear that thing out.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
