That Admiral electric range is a very unusual drop in model that I have never seen.
None of them look like they were ever used, which is the only reason they’re still around, lol
It’ll be interesting 30 years from now or more. There will be tons of current appliances like this that are still around because there are so many people that have second homes and things plus nobody cooks anymore anyway so you’re gonna see tons of what you now think are cheap appliances still in beautiful shape, also because materials are so much better today they’re not gonna get corroded and crappy looking just sitting around if they’re not used.

I actually think that range is labeled Hardwick....which it kinda looks like (knobs etc) and makes a little more sense than having an Admiral specialty unit at this late date in the US.
It is Hardwick. But Hardwick, and Admiral were both Maytag names I believe, at this time.

DM dishwasher?
I remember range hoods like that in the Sears catalog.
More than likely.
It is a D&M machine from the latter sixties. Quote from above: "Nobody cooks anymore." Talk about someone who lives in a world of false generalizations. Many, many people cook, lol.

Does making a simple dinner using just the Microwave count?

That depends on what your meal is using the microwave. I don't consider nuking eggs, heating soup, or leftovers cooking. If you're doing a quiche' in a blind baked pie crust, or baking a cake, or roasting meat using the temp. probe, then it is.
Well hardly matters what a person’s cooking or eating habits are—you will get things that need to be washed or cleaned one way or another and anything that’s a machine to do it for you I’m sure will do!
Reminds me of a Roper or maybe Caloric dishwasher a friend of mine long ago had and in a narrow 24” as well…

A quick dinner for me is....
A half cup of brown gravy (covered) - 2 min at full power
5 one ounce frozen beef meatballs - 3 min at 60 percent power
A large russet baked potato - 9 min on full power
A 1 cup serving of frozen broccoli (covered) - 3 min at full power
And since it's winter, a large tumbler of warmed up iced tea. - 70 seconds
18 minutes to make, voila!..... supper's ready!..... come and git it!

Frozen meatballs and store bought gravy give me the trots. I make my own. Ground round or sirloin, veal, and pork. Parsley, oregano, garlic, onion, parmesano regiono, pine nuts, salt and pepper, lumbrusco. If I use a jar sugo, Mids from Ohio, or Raos or mixed. Never Prego, too much sugar.

LOL!..... "The Trots! 
Mid's is so good! Once I got a jar that the seal evidently was broken, and had gone bad. I called the number on the label, and the owner himself answered. I told him about the issue, and he sent me coupons for several free jars, worth over $20.

Back in the 1960's, a bottle of Pepsi that I started to drink had a chunk of broken glass in it.
Mom contacted Pepsi and sent them the glass shard taped to the letter.
Pepsi appologized and sent her a big wooden case of Pepsi!
I was in heaven as a child with that!
