Do you know which thermostat is the high limit thermostat? Is the middle prong, or is it the one attached to the thin wire? As a side note, I did French fries on top of the stove, and used a deep frying thermometer. I thought the fries, would have been crisper, but I do not think they were.

Hey, Ralph, I would be happy to give the toaster to you, and, as luck would have it, I am going to Mountain View this afternoon to stay the night at my son's home. I will bring the toaster, and maybe we can meet for you to get the toaster at my son's home, or anywhere else you like. George

I have always been fond of these Sunbeam toasters with the automatic lowering of the bread -- and how it knows if you just want to reheat the toast. On the bottom it reads "Service 20-3 AG." 1375 watts, made in United States America. It must be pretty old as the side guides do not adjust to...

I have a 4 quart oil capacity Waring Pro Deep Fryer. Just like two other deep fryers I tried, even though the fryer will indicate that it is up to the selected temperature, it is far short by a deep frying thermometer that I know is correct. For example, if I set the fryer at 375 F, and the...

It looks so clean -- and I like your two square galvanized tubs.

Thanks for checking. I looked at the manuals, too. Although there is information on the internet about calibrating commercial deep fryers, I have seen nothing about home fryers.

I have recently acquired three home deep fryers, a Hamilton Beach, Rival, and T Fal, and all three reach a maximum of about 345 F when the thermostat is set to the maximum setting, which is 375 F. Does anyone know if I unscrew the heating element device, will I find something I can adjust? Or...

Thanks, Launderess! It is such a cool appliance, and so well built, too. There is a funny story about how I got it. I stopped at a yard sale in San Luis Obispo, where I lived at the time, and there it was, for $40.00. I told the seller that I could do $20.00, and that I was sure that I was...

Unsuccessfully, I have tried to give away this rare GE flatplate ironer before on this site. I am hoping that this time, since I have included photos, that I will be successful. I don't use this, and maybe there is someone out there who would like to have it. The heating plate is on top, and...

I so much enjoyed your postings about transforming the Ben Franklin store into Calvacade. George

I bought that mixer a few months ago. I like it a lot--especially the eight quart bowl, open bowl handle, power, what looks like cast stainless steel paddle and dough hook (they are really heavy) and NSF rating. I could have gotten a refurbished one for about $200. less, and if I had to do it...

GE Flatplate Ironer That is the nicest Ironrite, and it looks like it is in nice condition. I have a GE flatplate ironer in San Francisco that I will also give away.

One of my sons is in the market for a new washer and dryer (His Bosch Nexxt Washer has a weak pump and needs a new door gasket). He would like a washer that does the job quickly and well. I was at a laundromat recently and noticed he wash cycle was 23 minutes -- and the clothes came out clean...

Thanks, guys, for the comments. Keep 'em coming! In the US, only the smaller Miele is available, and I am pretty sure my son, who asked for me to choose a new washer, wants a larger size. He and his wife are remodeling most of the first floor of their house, including the laundry room. They...

I went to a local appliance store where the salesman told me that Maytag will raise the water temperature 20 -- 25 degrees, that LG is made to last 5- 7 years, that Whirlpool is pretty much like Maytag, but Maytag is built to last longer, that Electrolux has a poor repair record along with LG...

I am looking for the FL washer with the highest temperature boost heater. I was hoping that I could buy a new Miele, but I see that in the U.S. the only model available is small. Quality is the most important issue.

I have used Oixclean in the sanitize cycle of a Miele 1203 front loader (the water is headed to 203 F, I think) for years without incident. And, those whites are very white.

I was there a few years ago. Go if you can! it is amazing.
