It bakes and roasts

Flip it over and it broils and toasts
The excitingly new Automatic Dominion broiler
How could I resist. Hopefully the one that I live with will use this "outside" when it's hot. Man does it heat up fast.

Nor this lovely little GE electric knife easier on small hands. Complete with box, instructions, and computer card warranty mail in
BTW anyone who bakes or buys unsliced bread should have an electric knife, nothing works better at slicing soft bread without mushing it.

And for the vac fans who don't visit vacuumland this lovely Kirby Classic Omega. These don't use paper bags inside, you shake out the dirt from the bottom, ugly and messy, once I get it all cleaned up it won't be doing any more vacuuming.

Cool catches, sir!

My aunt had that broiler/oven. Open Ni-Chrome element (not a calrod).

Flip it over to bake or boil. Oh and don't forget to flip the door/tray over too

 

[pturo]

What a versitile appliance, that flip flops like that. (grins and ducks)

 

[toggleswitch]

yeah really- even the directions say "turn it over"

 

[hoover1060]

Pete you always find the coolest stuff!!

 

[launderess]

Neat Finds!

As Always!

Have vintage MIB Toastmaster "flip-over" oven/broiler. Lots of nice shiney chrome, and the thing get darn hot! Only nabbed it because it was sitting all by it's lonesome at a thrift for about $10. Only thing made so far has been some broiled chicken breasts, but find the thing useful when one does not wish to heat up the kitchen/house using the large oven.

Neat finds. I still have the GE knife I recieved in 1972. Is that a little GE reflector toaster in the background on your counter?

We sold both Toastmaster models at the store. Less expensive one was flip over. It had a thermostat dial on the side where the suggested temperature settings for baking were right side up when it was in the right position for baking while the broil & toast settings were upside down until it was flipped. The more deluxe model had sealed rod elements in the top and bottom with push buttons for Off Bake Broil. They did not look easy to clean if meat was broiled. With their lack of insulation, outdoor use in the summer would be recommended, but for broiling I would prefer the Farberware Open Hearth Broiler.

 

[launderess]

Yes,cleaning is not easy with either model judging from the owner's manual (though mine is the lower line, the manual is for both),which is one reason have'nt used the oven/broiler that often. As for giving out heat, well the Toastmaster has nothing on my vintage WestBend "Ovenette", now that baby throws out some heat!

Wasn't that bad broiling some chicken breasts, and certianly was much cooler than firing up the broiler inside the range.

Think the unit will come in handy for making/reheating/baking small items like slices of pizza or such that won't fit into my vintage GE toaster/oven. Should be great for making French bread pizza.

A Flip/Flopper .
Must have been made by a republican owned company.

Now if we can just find a washer that could be flipped over for use as a dryer.

Hi Tom, yes that's the GE Automatic Toaster, reflector. I got it not that long ago and it's in like new condition. I've been wanting one forever and never thought I'd get one as they don't seem very common or weren't popular. But it is the coolest looking toaster out there I think, very Jetsony for the 60's. Does a terrible job toasting though, very uneven LOL

The trouble with all these countertop broilers is the messy cleanup, this one I got doesn't seem to have had much use so I'll probably keep it that way and find the other half something a little grottier and uncollectible that can be tossed out when it gets too dirty

Pete, we had that same toaster/broiler/oven when I was a kid. I think my parents originally bought it for my sister who was away at college.

Your suggestion on using an electric knife for slicing home-made bread has reminded me about something I don't use anymore. It was the Presto bread slicing system, which combined an electric knife with a plastic rack in which you place the loaf of bread. The rack had dividers the width of your average slice, and you'd run the knife down between the dividers and end up with perfectly sliced bread. We used it a couple of times but it takes up way too much space. My partner is now long over the bread baking machine and the slicing system is long gone. We gave the electric knife to his daughter who admired our ergonomic Black & Decker model when it sliced a Thanksgiving turkey. Took our cues from Alton Brown on that, and it sure does . . . er . . . cut . . . the serving time considerably.

I bake a lot of bread, sort of a hobby of mine but I use my big Bosch mixer for all the kneading. Bread machines are great and I do have one but it never made enough and it takes much longer than doing it in the Bosch.

 

[rp2813]

Pete, I'm keeping an eye out for one of those Jane Jetson looking hand mixers like the one you have. I passed up a turquoise one a few years ago and have regretted it ever since.

I have that GE knife

I have that GE knife. Bought it new-old-stock and it works well.
It replaced a garbagy White-Westinghouse knife I bought in a hurry one year. Stopped using it when it developed the habit of ejecting the knives onto the counter WHEN IN USE!
... Three guesses where that piece of crap was made.
Love the GE knife - doesn't shoot blades across the counter.

 

[perc-o-prince]

As allways...

GREAT finds, Pete!!

I'm gonna start shopping in your area

I just finished a couple of hours of extreme makeover on my Kirby Classic Omega featured above... Her reputation is no longer tarnished and she smells good too.

 

[petek]

From the other angle, she just shines as good as new
