So...

Robert spent about 3 hours cleaning the rotisserie so we could use it! Here it is all clean and loaded with a Pork Loin...

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Robert looking on approvingly!

Mmm. Spinning Meat.

Great catches and thrifts there, boiz.

I was about to comment on the huge logo on the range-hood, when I realized it's not original.

How's the rotisserie to clean afterwards? Is it a PITA?

 

[joelippard]

Congrats Guys!

Robert/Fred, that is one beautiful kitchen you have! I love those plates, where did you find them?

 

[gansky1]

TAB!

Spinning meat, gravy and estate sales - is there any more to life??

 

[tlee618]

Sure looks good!!!

Looks like you had a great dinner there guys!! Did you put a little water in the bottom dish of the rotisserie? I have found that really helps to keep the splaters down. The Hotpoint looks great in its new home!!!

 

[polkanut]

Harriet Nelson couldn't have done a better job of loading that Hotpoint. You guys set a delicious looking table, YUM. All I found was an 8cup harvest gold Regal Poly Perk for $1.

[mistereric]

Estate Finds

Those estate sales are always a bonus in Minni!!

Dinner looks superb guys, much yummier than cottage cheese!!!

How does the spit roast work ?? is it just one v shaped element and the meat rotates in front of it??

enjoy, Mike

 

[norgeway]

Looks GReat.

I have had one of those Sunbeams for years, they really work better than any of the new stuff on the market....About the Whirlpool,See my reply to the post on V.L. also my e.mail to you,glad you all are having fun,hope to hear from you soon.

 

[launderess]

Love My Sunbeam Roaster

But yes, cleaning is rather a pain as the thing main heating part cannot go into water.

 

[mayguy]

Cool find guys! I've never seen a roaster like that before..

Didn't think anyone else other than my aunt drink TAB!?

 

[jaxsunst]

Tab Drinker Here, both Super Walmart and Kroger in my area carries it.

 

[hunter]

in the pre-nutrasweet days I drank tab...

...it was very good with scotch in it.

For joelippard:

Joe:

Those plates are the "Blue Heaven" pattern from Royal China, a long-gone company that was in Sebring, OH. These dishes originally sold in places like Woolies and W.T. Grant, or one piece at a time with purchase in grocery stores. The pattern is plentiful and cheap, even on eBay.

Hope that helps you -

 

[joelippard]

Thanks

for telling me what they are. I must have some, they're beautiful!

***Hands on hips***

The pattern is plentiful and cheap, even on eBay.

We'll I've never!

;-)

hmmmmmmmmmmph

 

[swestoyz]

I can't get over the spinning meat - looks tender enough to have just slipped right off the stick!

Great finds guys!

Ben

 

[hooverwheelaway]

It did, Ben. It did.

 

[danemodsandy]

You Know, Robert:

That was badly phrased, wasn't it? My apologies. What I was trying to say was that "Blue Heaven" won't break anyone's budget, and that it's easily replaced if something happens to a piece.

 

[joelippard]

Well,

I'm bidding on "Blue Heaven" right now. For anyone interested there is a company here in NC Called Replacements LTD, that has all kinds of vintage patterns. The website is www.replacements.com

 

[polkanut]

Replacements Ltd is a nice resource to have, especially if you're looking for pieces to match a rare pattern, but I have found that they are quite overpriced on some items. Last Weds. I picked up a service for 8 for $40 to match my Grandma Wilde's china at one our local thrifts. But, I don't always get that lucky. The link is to replacements.com to show what my pattern looks like.

[Unimatic1140]

That was badly phrased, wasn't it? My apologies.

No need for apologies Sandy, I was just being silly , I do see the pattern at estate sales quite often.
