1953 I have a 1953 version of that range. Best one I've ever cooked with. My clock didn't work right either but these folks sorted it for me: http://generaltimerepairs.com They bought the GE clock business when they exited the market - he worked there . No connection other than as a...

some can, some can't Modern gas ranges usually cannot have use of the oven during times with no mains power. There are some models, like one a neighbor has, where the cooktop/hob cannot even be lit manually. In the USA and Canada (and maybe elsewhere) some of the ranges from Unique have...

Not gone, quite Sharp sells a Microwave Convection oven which is a 'micro thermal.' I've had one for almost 20 years. Well, Iv'e had several and they still sell them, I think. They're quite good. I tend to use it for roasting meats and don't find a lot of difference between micro+heat or...

Sure You can be SURE, if it’s Westinghouse.

Repair There are two vintage Kenwood repair folks in Britain that I know of, https://www.kenmixengineering.co.uk And http://kenwoodchefrestore.co.uk I would guess if you could get it fixed it would out perform anything modern.

Vintage percolator I use a late 60s aluminum GE.electric percolator I got at Goodwill for $5. Best coffee I’ve tasted.

Kenwood. I second the vote for Kenwood, especially if you can get an older, British build model (that was pretty much up until the late 1990s they were built in UK IIRC). Rival sold them under their name for a while. Amusingly enough, Cuisinart did the same thing. Kenwood was acquired by...

just amazing. The Sears catalogue was the "Amazon.com" of its day. How the mighty have fallen. I miss the Sears stores I remember.

Unique off grid The unique off grid ones do not have clean cycle either - OTOH in my opinion it keeps the enamel from getting heat stressed. And it isn't that big of a deal just to clean manually - 15 minutes or so.

one of these You might consider one of these: http://uniqueoffgrid.com/ Fetchable through menards and they are quite reliable. They do not need electricity if there is no power, which is a selling point for me. I've had one for a couple of years and like it a lot - mine's a 24" white one.

Dishmasters I prefer to use the Bosch and do 99% of the time. But for the things that MUST be washed by hand, the Dishmaster is great. You can squirt HOT soapy water on stuff, use the non porous brush on the items then rinse in HOT water. And you don't have to immerse your hands in a HOT...

awesome! They'd work in my kitchen refit, but alas, i don't wanna give up my current stove or frig...darn.

maybe... maybe he was playing with the appliances 'cause they , er, had to do a lot of laundry with protein stains?

way cool! I'd never seen one that's cool! I agree about the cord, and I'm surprised that it isn't a flip-back lid because otherwise you could spill coffee in it (it is a coffee table, yes? LOL) Thanks for posting this.

natural food stores You can often find essential oils at natural food stores. Or, you can find them online but you'll have to pay for postage. I like the idea I will try it myself. I did not know this, thank you!
