Folks, Given the often discussed disgust with the poor quality of new appliances, I have a question: DO you all think it better to buy a NEW electric range or an OLD electric range? When I say 'new' I mean something since 2005 onward, or 'old' as being something from (say) the 1960s or...

Do any of you good folks have places that repair vintage (made in USA!) GE toaster ovens? Thanks!

Now, for something completely different: Who among us are making big use of Nesco roasters outside on the porch during the extreme heat most of the country seems to be having? I baked 2 loaves of sourdough in my (whatever big roaster I've got - it's a Nesco but I have no idea what size it is...

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Not the tea pots, a kettle. Hunter

Folks, a request:  My washer is making a strange grinding noise.  I've had the guys out to look at it; they replaced the motor.  (I was thinking struts).  Well, the motor was not as good as it should have been and the new one IS working better.  But it is still..grinding.   This is a whirlpool...

While browsing in a London department store I came across this:   http://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/kenwoodCookingChef/Home1/   It's a variation of the Kenwood Major that has an induction heating element, so you can beat/mix AND cook simultaneously. Sufficiently expensive that I doubt I'll...

While perusing the replica of Fort Hall and the Bannock County Historical Museum, in Pocatello ID, I came across the following very interesting finds. It was part of a 'how to save water' display and way cool.

Hey folks, Do any of you use pressure cookers? I have an old one that I'm in the process of replacing. Investigating the market here in the USA, I note that Presto and Mirror have shifted their production to China. Since I don't buy China products for food stuff (and try to avoid using them at...
