I picked up two Electromatic Skillets several months ago. I used one of them along with a Cookmates casserole to keep chili warm and found that even at its lowest setting, the chili was bubbling slightly. When using one of these as a warmer, is it better to use regular Corning casseroles rather than Cookmates?

Ralph, the thermostat is probably slightly out of calibration, but given that fact, yes, probably a regular piece of Corning Ware on it would reduce the transmission of heat sufficiently to prevent bubbling. The question is whether another piece of Corning of the same capacity would fit within the handles on the base. I don't know if simply removing the knob by loosening the tiny Allen screw at about 325F and slightly repositioning it would solve your problem or if you would have to go in from the bottom. I have no idea if there are any adjustments possible.

The Secret to finding stuff...
Im off two weekends a month, We get Fridays newspapers, Usually from Mocksville, Salisbury and Winston Salem, then we check Estatesales.net and Auctionzip,Then, if there are many sales, I go to several and Don goes to the rest,If just a few we decide which are best then we get up early and are first in line at the door, then, we never lay anything down once we pick it up, you do and you will lose it.

I guess I'll have to be more diligent about reading our local shopper's guides, and checking online as well. With our winter this year, estate sales have been nearly non-existent. Guess I'm just going through withdrawal.
I know what you mean about not setting something down once you have it in your hands.

Wow Hans, you do seem to find the best things whenever you attend a sale.
My mom had two of that style of Universal percolator when I was a kid.
I got a Sunbeam waffle iron at the sale my former (now deceased) neighbor Edith's daughters held last fall, after she went to the nursing home. It was left at the end of the sale, so they gave it to me. Haven't had a chance to try it yet.
Back in the 70's I got my mom a HB Mixette like your Grant's model, but white. I hope the cord will stay attached to yours better than ours did. It was always coming unplugged. My mom liked the old 50's one better.
That Kenmore roaster-oven is nice. Do you have any idea who made it? It looks kind of like a Nesco.

Kenmore Roasting Oven
I have never used one of those roasting ovens. Several of you have them in your collection. What is the advantage of a roasting oven like that? Cooks a better bird? Frees up oven space for other things? Uses less energy? All of the above. They are still sold. I saw a bunch of them at Walmart right before the holidays. Please someone fill me in on the advantages of a roasting oven. I may want one myself.

Norgeway = Midas Touch
Hans - you really do have something special going on with regard to all of the great finds you've accomplished at garage sales, yard sales, and wherever else your magic takes you. Later this year, I'll be going to Charlotte for a visit. While I'm not sure how far away you are, if you have a moment, and would be willing, I just want to shake your hand to hopefully let some the Midas Touch rub off. How do you do it? Amazing!

Hans,
One of the pieces from your new set of West Bend DeLuxe Flavo Seal is featured in my vintage Better Homes and Gardens cook book. Pretty neat!
