Whatever happened to the Toast-R-Oven trademark? Black + Decker inherited it from GE. Years later, GE licensed Walmart to sell small appliances under the GE name. Most recently, Haier brought back GE small appliances. No one’s selling a Toast-R-Oven. Just toaster ovens.

French’s or Morehouse? (Someone had to say it.)

A UNESCO World Heritage Site candidate?   The town of Ivrea, Italy is a UNESCO World Heritage Site preserving the 20th Century architecture commissioned by Olivetti.  Are the Maytag buildings on a par historically?   Perhaps someone in Newton can look into it.   Just a thought...

Before monorails are whisking us from place to place . . .   . . . or after our individual cold fusion reactors are powering our homes for a year on $3.87 worth of fuel?

  It looks like a recessed hand grip for pulling out the freezer drawer.

About that "magnet test" . . .   Our stainless steel bowls fail the magnet and flat bottom tests but they'll heat up on our Frigidaire induction stove.  Is it possible Electrolux is using something similar to Panasonic's Met-All technology?   We don't have any aluminum or copper cookware to...

And if you want to test the evenness of the heat . . .   . . . mix up some pancake batter.  Next best thing to a FLIR (Forward-Looking InfraRed) thermometer.

  Anyone else hearing Disney’s GE Carousel of Progress theme?

A teaspoon of this . . .    . . . will put back the missing oomph.  DON'T use it in your car wash bucket because that waste water probably won't be properly treated.  Limit usage to your dishwasher and clothes washer...

  1.  Programmable coffee maker.  Sainthood for whoever came up with the idea. 2.  Panasonic FlashXpress toaster oven.  Best reheating machine for pizza and chilled fried chicken. 3.  Variable power turntable microwave oven (yeah, yeah, I know about the other thread).  Use it right and your...

  . . . you can recall seeing a Frigidaire Jet Action washer and matching dryer on display in the corner of the showroom at a Chevrolet dealer.

. . . you know a ribbon for an Olivetti is not an award won at a county fair.

Wait, wait, I lost track again. Is coffee a deadly poison or elixir of health this week?

But when reheating baked pasta in the microwave oven . . . . . . We use the “double the time at 50% power” method followed by a 5-minute rest to distribute the heat. Works like a charm. Trying the same thing in a toaster oven often leads to a little scorch and drying out.
