Proof of a Frigidaire oven!!

Consumer Reports would have to give that a rating of Excellent for evenness of baking!

Frigidaire Broiling Accessories

Were there not some stainless steel broiler pans that some members here have posted pictures of to minimize the mess of broiling?

Those look delicious! Gotta love a warm biscuit with butter and jelly - or honey - or...

What kind of baking sheet is that, Hans? The pan used makes a lot of difference too - I've all but given up on trying to get even baking (browning) results on non-stick sheets.

The Frigidaire Radiant Wall Broiler Pan was introduced about the same time as the Pull 'n Clean oven. It was a two piece affair with a deep aluminum pan with a chromed rack in the bottom and Bakelite handles on both sections. The pan sat on a shallower pan that had cold water added to it, the purpose of which was to cool the fat that dripped into the upper pan. In use, the pan was used on a set rack position in the master oven and the Broiler Grill dial was used to select the intensity of the heat input: high for rare and lower heats for well done. The high sides were intended to keep the oven clean. I don't know how well the pan broiled or how much fun it was to reach past the high hot sides to flip burgers on the wire rack in the bottom of the pan. Either pan could be used as a roasting pan and they could be combined and used as a covered roaster

Thank you Tomturbomatic

I hope members that have the pans will comment.

Re Baking pan..

The large jelly roll pan that I used is a Doughmakers brand, it is fairly heavy aluminum and the surface of it looks pebbeled and it really is superior in my opinion, the old pan that Bertha had is just a plain black steel pan.

Running With the Famous....

Hans:

I just thought you'd like to see this shot of the West Bend canisters you and I own; it's from the "The Celebrity Next Door" episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, originally aired December 3rd, 1957. This is the famous Tallulah Bankhead episode. The set is of Tallulah's kitchen, and it included the complete set of canisters and the bread box, which is very HTF now.

I have that dishwasher! I wonder if Miss Bankhead would know how to load a dishwasher or if she knew what one was.

 

[retromania]

That's the one where Ms. Bankhead was dining with Lucy & Ricky. Ethel & Fred posed as a couple hired to work for them and Fred dropped the biscuits. Prior to that though, she said: "Mother always said take two and butter 'em while they're hot!"

Do NOT sit on those chairs!

Is that a KA DW? Their habit putting the timer on the kick.

 

[appnut]

That's a Hotpoint dishwasher!!

 

[arbilab]

We had 2 HP DWs of that era and the timer was at hip height on the L sidepanel, not the kick. But anything is possible.

 

[appnut]

they moved the timer down to the access panel area in the 1957 or 1958 model year for the TOL.  HP DWs like you had in the era wre in a ton of my parents' friends houses who lived in DFW area. 

 

[arbilab]

Ours were 1953 and 1956. That splains it. The next one was 1963 Frigidaire.

Hans, I really like your Range! I wish I had one like it next to my avocado Super Surge dishwasher.

The 27" HP dws had the timer beside the door. The 24" HP dws had the timer below the door before they put it in the door later on.
