The seller had a Kenmore 3 door SxS fridge in piano black listed too. Looked like a very deluxe model of same era

Current temp in Pittsburgh is -4 F with the wind chill feels about -20 F I’m running a 1995 Gas forced air furnace, but supplementing with a wood fired Englander blast furnace that keeps the house quite toasty and keeps the furnace from kicking on very often. The wood stove is not connected to...

1950s Tupperware

Corning Ware early 1960s

Jamie, Thanks for the input on the dishes/bowls fitting. Mom has a set of square Corelle, and there are some older Corelle and Tupperware cereal bowls that get mixed in.

It’s about time for mom to get a new dishwasher. She has the cheapest, most BOL model they sell at Lowe’s, it intermittently leakes and doesn’t perform the best. Also a the dishes come out with a coarse film on them. Not sure if it’s her hard water or the dishwasher. What are your suggestions...

My mother has always put her Haviland Blue Garland China service in the dishwasher, it gets used about 4-5 times a year and it’s now about 25-27 years old. Grandma Rose always put her China in the dishwasher from the time she got a GE with a Rinse-Glo in 1965. I now have that set of china that...

Grandma Rose had one of these gadgets in her 1980s GE spacemaker microwave. I don’t remember this working well, and I don’t think it lasted very long

Speaking of popcorn making, we had a WestBend hot air machine from the 80s, that was the most horrid popcorn. In 1994 or 95 we bought this Presto Power Pop at Hill’s Department Store as a Christmas gift for dad. From what I recall it actually worked well in our JCPenney microwave and made good...

Grandma Rose used to use her Mirro pressure canner and her sisters Alcamatic all the time on her 70s GE smoothtop

I’m with Hans here, I hate the split cooktop. My 1946 kitchen has a slot for a 40” range, not much counter space, so having the few extra inches on the stove is very valueable, and I find it to be wasted space on the split cooktop. I personally find no issue using the clustered burners for...

I have a few pieces I use, mostly the oval roaster. I use mine stove top, but the bottom can be used in oven. DO NOT put the glass lids in the oven as they aren’t ovensafe and will break

While I don’t have a 2018 model Speed Queen, I purchased a digital control model in February 2017. I will say I’m not overly happy with it, moms 2011 model does much better. I don’t overload my machine, I’ll wash 3 pairs of Hospital scrubs on the medium setting, I often get an overflow error...

Mom has this stove, we bought off a co-worker of mine to replace a POS Kenmore. Sadly the fluorescent light was a mediocre nightlight at best.

I bought my brother a once used Farberware model for $20 He is quite pleased with it, he uses it daily to roast Brussels sprouts or asparagus, and often baked chicken wings, which come out very crispy as we like them. Also it produces cheese sticks better than in a regular oven or a deep fryer...

Before choosing an Enclave, I was considering a Ford Flex. They are rather common here. I would have got one in the same red as the one Scott has, unfortunately since I wasn’t looking to order a new one, I could not find a Flex, even in Limited trim that had the 2nd row bucket seats. At least on...

While I may not be a fan of SUVs and Crossovers I have been kinda forced in that direction. I am an American full-size luxury sedan and wagon person. I am 6’5” so size is important to me. I had a Cadillac XTS which is the current full size offering, I found to be a touch too small for me, not to...

I always buy the cheapest store brand brown sugar, 3 lb at a time. I always just pour mine into my vintage Tupperware canister and leave it on the counter. My brown sugar is never hard, sometimes it takes 6-9 months to empty the canister

I have several favorite Christmas cookies. As a small child my mother would bake and sell Christmas cookies, and for our Christmas party in Elementary school she would make a plate of cookies for each kid in the class to take home. My favorites of hers are the Betty Crocker candy cane cookies...

Glad that the Bissell is working out well for you. When you need to replace it, you can always search for a used a filter Queen, it’s bagless with filter cones, and performs very well.
