Where's the Presto mixer? Is that it located to her right almost out of view?

It rises up out of the hole in the counter in the futuristic kitchen, not the one with Thelma Ritter and the Crosley DW.

I wonder if that yellow pan on the gas stove could be a piece of DRU cookware from Belgium. It looks to have the flared rim and more of the DRU open handle on the cover.
All I remember was that Peggy Bundy refered to the stove as
Funny that someone with that attitude would have expensive, but not necessarily great performing, Chantal cookware.

In 1939's "The Women"...
Mary Haines (Norma Shearer) had a warm "country kitchen" plus what we all need, a cook to do all the dirty work. How could anyone ever tire of watching this totally wonderful film?

I believe when Peg called the stove, 'The big hot thing', Al corrected her and said,'No Peg, you are the big hot thing'.

Did I miss it or did anyone mention the I Dream of Jeannie kitchen with the aqua (Thermador?) appliances? Also, I remember seeing an old black and white movie from the 30's or 40's. There's a round cook station in the middle of the kitchen. Sort of resembles a tower and it has burners all the way around. I mean it was from looooooong time ago.

Tom:
I caught that too that Peg Bundy was cooking in a Chantal skillet. It's almost as though the set designers are seeing if we are paying attention. I know a lot of the shows in the 60's used a lot of things to create viewer interest in a product. I remember seeing an old Bewitched episode where on the counter was about every piece of Corningware Blue Cornflower I had ever seen. Someone answer this: Why in some shows when they show the interior of the fridge are all the the labels of products turned inward? You can tell what brand it is. Then in other shows all the brands names are facing out in clear view. It's almost as though at first there was some sort of infringement and then later that had been worked through. Or maybe the brands weren't sponsors of the show and the show didn't want to give them free advertising. I know some of you know the answer to that.

Andy, I think it has something to do with product placement agreements which can be powerful forms of subliminal advertising.
Round cook station:
I don't know if anyone has ever seen the book Candy Hits by ZaSu Pitts. It was published in 1963, the year of her death. In it, she describes her kitchen in Brentwood which was round, a very large diameter Art Deco masterpiece. In the kitchen, she has an O'K & M range from the 50s, I think. It replaces the original range. Her hobby was making candy and the book has fabulous recipes.
Incidentally, I read in Paul R. Williams' book Classic Hollywood Style that she was the inspiration for Olive Oyl.

"Or maybe the brands weren't sponsors of the show and the show didn't want to give them free advertising."
It's just that showing brand names can be tricky, so sometimes it's avoided - though there is a lot of paid product placement going on nowadays.
Here's a reason it can be tricky - if a brand is being used by an evil character, the trademark owner may object - and may even have legal recourse if the depiction is such that it could tend to "bring the trademark into disrepute or public contempt" (this is very rare, but it's one of those things you don't bring on yourself if you can avoid it). The major exception is automobiles, which are difficult to disguise, so the tradition has sprung up that cars are kind of exempt. You also may have noticed over the years that when a show's credits say something like "Automobiles furnished by Ford Motor Company," all the bad guys drive GM and Chrysler products. It all came out in the wash, because when GM or Chrysler furnished vehicles, the baddies were quite likely to be driving Fords.
For a long time, product placement was frowned upon by the Federal Trade Commission, which is why shows and movies made in the later '70s through the later '90s often use fake trademarks. Roseanne did that a lot - look at the milk cartons, cereal boxes, etc. in the Conner kitchen sometime. They're almost all custom-designed and printed, with the sole exceptions of Shasta and Mello Yello pop. A very few trademarks were altered with stick-on labels, like on beer cans. It was a very impressive effort, because it costs a bloomin' fortune to do stuff like that. A graphics person has to design it, it has to be set up on the computer and then printed. And Roseanne was done before computers got so cheap and easy to use.
That has pretty much died out; it's now acceptable to do product placement again.

Norma Shearer's Destination:
Was a "dude ranch" operated for the express purpose of allowing women from other states to establish Nevada residency for the purpose of gaining a divorce. In the 1930s. divorces were not handed out like Kleenex, the way they are today - you really, really had to jump through some hoops to get one.
In many instances, a woman had to claim and prove infidelity on the part of her husband to obtain a divorce. That created a cottage industry of "professional correspondents," women who would, for a fee, be photographed in a hotel room bed (clothed in nightwear; there were limits) with the husband, thus "proving" infidelity to the satisfaction of a court. Husbands had to be gentlemanly and play along with this charade, though being "caught" in this situation did nothing much to a man's reputation. Again, this was all a farce to satisfy laws of the time; usually, no actual infidelity took place.
The Women specifically and accurately names Reno, NV as the divorce capital of America at that time. Nevada divorce law was pretty much the most liberal in the nation then, so wealthy women flocked there when they wanted out of a marriage, first establishing residency and then petitioning the courts there for the desired divorce. Reno dude ranches, resorts and residential hotels all catered to this trade, and divorce lawyers there did a brisk business.

Roseanne washer change
I recently saw an episode where a traveling salesman came to the Connor home and died while sitting at the kitchen table. At the beginning of the show Dan and Roseanne were talking about selling their washer with the busted agitator and no knobs. While they were waiting on the coroner to come pronounce the salesman dead, a couple showed up to check out the washer/dryer for sale. It was a pretty good episode. I loved Roseanne, especially the earlier seasons.

That's it!!
Thanks Sandy for clarifying that.
Thus, the phrase 'to Reno for a quicky divorce'.

Being divorced in Reno was known as being "Reno-vated."

In that shot of Mary Haine's kitchen...
I assume that was the Haine's counrty home since her and her daughter had just come in from riding their horses. Apparently the Haines had a NYC town home too since there's a scene where two servants are gossiping in the kitchen about a husband/wife quarrel that they're eavesdropping on and the kitchen is very different. Life was "cushy" for the 2% even in 1939. I tried to find a still of that scene but couldn't, probably because the two maids were just bit players, and capturing a shot from the DVD is too much work for an old man (63 tomorrow) like me. I did discover that the little dog that's testy at the beginning of the film (at Sydney's Salon) was Terry III, the same dog that Miss Gulch stuck in that basket on the back of her bike. Now if I'm wrong please don't jump all over me...I'm no film "aficionado."
looks like Mrs. Haines got some muffin batter on her hand potentially spoiling a pricey manicure from Sydney's
