Pork Chops...In my new 1958 West Bend

[autowasherfreak]

I fried some pork chops in my harvest gold Sunbeam electric skillett tonight. I kept the temperature around 260, and they came out so tender and juicy. I love my old electric skilletts!

Jim,

Is that the Sunbeam w/ the crockery insert that I gave you as a housewarming gift?  If so, glad to hear that she's still going strong.  Do you put it in the dishwasher as I did when I had it?

It sure was Tim! I love that skillett. I have a West Bend in Harvest Gold as well. I usually wash them by hand, but I think I have washed it in the dishwasher a couple of times. I made a pork roast with carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and cabbage in it last week that turned out absolutely delicious!

I'm convinced that you're either an electric skillet user or a cast iron user...

Jim,

I never used the crockery insert when I had it, but was tempted a couple of times.  I was more comfortable using the crock pot so I that is why I didn't use the Sunbeam and the insert instead.

 

 

P.S. Those Sunbeams w/ the insert go for big bucks on Ebay.

There really wasn't much of a different between using the crock insert and the crock pot Tim. I do think the crock pot might be a little better because of the heavy glass lid, but I still like to use it every once in a while.
