And let's not forget the "Dutch oven" in bed.

Maytag did not make this range. Like the Maytag freezers they sold which were made by Amana, this range was made by a firm named Globe American Corporation.

Thrifty Cooking
These "Dutch Oven" ranges made emphasis on fuel savings gained by their cooking method. Much like crock pots and pressure cookers, it is a matter how these techniques fit into your lifestyle and tastes. Most every recipe I tried, I found very good. There is a sphaghetti dinner that does not require pre-cooking pasta before adding to the pot! I am thankful for electronic ignition over pilot lights and the easier clean up of sealed burners. If only the quality of porcelein enamal was still the same as that used on cooktops, stoves and ranges from the 1950s.

Hunts tomato products had magazine ads with that all in one pot spaghetti recipe. It could yield a very starchy sauce unless you started off with a thin, not to say watery, sauce. I think roaster oven recipe books offered it as well in the section on feeding the multitudes.
To stay off topic
Jim,
It wasn't that bad. It wasn't the marriage Ireme kept secret but her conversion to Catholicism. There was a lot of hooha about the marriage mainly because the family De Bourbon wanted a big marriage in Rome by the pope, mainly because of political reasons. The pope probably saw through their political aspirations and only gave his blessing after the marriage. The Dutch government advised against the presence of Juliana and Bernhard at the wedding and indeed they didn't go because they didn't want to end up in a demonstration of the Carlist movement. Juliana and Bernhard stayed at home and watched the wedding on TV like many other Dutch people.

the range with built-it depilatory action...
...I remember cleaning a few of these very heavy Maytags for the sales floor. The bottom plate in the oven was made of porcelain-coated cast iron and weighed a ton. My dad didn't care to have these things on the resale floor since they had a bad reputation...the housewife would reach back to turn on a burner...there would be some hesitation before the burner would light (dirty greasy burner/pilot tube, bad air/gas mixture, etc) then poof !...the gas would ignite and presto...the lady had one hairy arm and one as smooth as a baby's rear end...the gas deep well cooker had it's own set of horror stories...remember this was in the mid 60's when this range was already "old." Interesting to read all the different comments connected to this thread

Maytag Range Facts
How are there old ranges cleaned?? I have heard of the burner units being removed and placed in boiling water. To read the manuals, you would swear each manufacturer had the best model. where I grew up I have seen kitchens with Hardwick, Tappan, Norge gas ranges and GE, Hotpoint, Frigidaire and Kenmore electric ranges. Very few high end models seen.
Most cooks roasted turkey, ham using the oven for baking in the family and friend circles growing up. Oven cleaning was not something done very often becase there did not get very dirty to begin with. Cooks choose cooking methods to prevent much labor intensive cleanup! High sides pots such as "dutch ovens" were used to prevent spattering. Browning meats with lids ajar to allow steam to excape and splatter shields. Big gatherings were usually BBQ cooking of meat/ The men cooking meat outside, and toasting garlic bread on the pits while the meat rested. The wives did the side dishes inside and would bring may food done ahead requiring re-heating of keeping things chilled in ice chests. The kids played outside, usually volleyball, softball, sometines in the hay loft of the barn playing hide and go seek. Grandkids would some times help in the garden harvesting berries, or something for ice cream making later after dinner. It was interesting collaborative teamwork!

That's the same cookbook I have - the Angel Food cake recipe is the best I've tried. So beautiful, you hate to cut into it but it just melts in your mouth.
Maytag ranges did meet AGA requirements right up to the time Globe (thanks Tom) shut down their factory. The very last of them had burner controls on the front of the range.

White Cake Recipe
gansky1
Does your Maytag Dutch Oven cookbook have the recipe for white cake that lists corn syrup-- 1/2 cup creamed with the shortening and sugar and 1/2 cup beaten into a meringue with the egg whites. A very fluffy, fine textured moist cake is the result.

I does - page 88! Corn syrup. Wow.
Terry, we'll have to try this in Minne! Some webmaster I know loves cake and buttercream frosting...
Thanks for the tip Mix, I've always wanted to try the oatmeal cookies from that book as well - cloves & allspice & cinnamon, I'll bet they're great.

Greg,
Oatmeal raisin cookies have to have cinnamon, cloves, and allspice to be any good in this house. My Grandma Wilde and her sisters all did, and that's the only way I make them. My recipe came from my great-grandmother.

And here is proof that Globe America Corporation made that dutch oven, a lawsuit!

Cookies and crisps were about the only way I'd eat oatmeal as a kid. I hated cooked oats, malt-o-meal, etc. Blech.
We should start a cookie & cake thread and publish our favorites. I haven't made oatmeal raisin cookies forever.

It must have placed the parents in a difficult position. Normally, parents are present at a child's wedding, unless the person has become a Mormon and nonmembers are not allowed inside Mormon temples.
We also tend to forget that until Franco's death, Spain was sort of a "pariah nation". I remember visiting Barcelona using a Eurail Youth Pass in 1975. While riding the rails all over Europe, you'd meet other young people in your train compartment all doing the same thing, and of course one would discuss where one had been. When I mentioned Barcelona, sometimes that would be met with disdain, as if it was politically unfashionable to visit Spain (1975), as if I was somehow abetting or aiding Franco by virtue of my visit. Yes, of course, people from Holland were taking winter vacations to Spain by then, but university-aged backpackers were often harrassed at the Spanish border due to their long-haired appearance (or lack of tourist dollars to spend). Some young people stayed away from Spain because of the stories/rumors of the border police.
Even without the religious subterfuge, I would imagine the government wanted nothing to do with a possible future Spanish monarch, both due to old history and recent (Franco) history. Another issue for her in the early 1960s is that the other sisters were still unmarried and had not produced any heirs, and by conversion she would (by tradition, if not by actual constitutional law*) lose her place in the royal succession. With Christina's disabilities, basically that left only two successors, Beatrix and Margriet, and this situation continued until the late 1960s when Beatrix and Margriet married and bore children.
The photo below was taken in San Francisco in 1982 when Beatrix and Claus visited California (yes, they visited Disneyland....). The woman with the dark hair is then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein, who today is a US Senator from California. She was deputy mayor when Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated, and she became Acting Mayor at that point in time. Feinstein ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1990, but won an election for US Senator in 1992. Because of the conspicuous hat, there is NO QUESTION which one is Beatrix. In fact, if she appears hatless in public, I always wonder if it is an imposter.
Way more than her mother, she is into hats.
*her older sister--Koningin Beatrix--is after all an attorney who passed her law exams and who is, technically speaking, permitted to practice law in Holland.

ps
in the late 1980s, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden visited Disneyland. The newspapers said it was "the first visit of a King and Queen to Disneyland." Technically it was true, since Beatrix and Claus' earlier visit was the visit "of a Queen and a Prince Consort". Also, Disneyland had been visited by Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako in the mid-1970s, but Carl Gustaf was the first KING to visit the park. I have a photo of Carl Gustaf and Silvia posing with Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
