I didn't know that GE had a microwave that early--Tappan/Westinghouse in the 50s, GE in the late 60s on the "old" chassis...I recall they had on in 1978 or so on the "new" chassis.

It will me my summer( too hot to heat up house )stove.... Cause the old 40 in Flair thats there now detached big (garage) only the small oven works and it has no cab base..
Hubby, he took it out our vehicle ;;;;;heavy sucker.... We had to be careful and not drop it... Had to find stuff to keep it from sliding out and down on garage floor... Use a rubber industrial chef type rubber floor

My 1960's Magic Chef Consept Series. Its fully loaded and is about as fully automatic as a gas range can get. It is a fantastic stove.
I never uderstood, what is the original purpouse of convinence outlets? Only thing i could ever think of was an electric perkolator.

Convenience outlets made sense in the days when homes had fewer outlets in the kitchen. They made even more sense though with an electric range, because you would have essentially an extra circuit in your kitchen, in that the convenience outlet drew power from the 220V range circuit.
Since most gas ranges plugged into the 120V kitchen small appliance circuit with the rest of the counter top outlets, they didn't really add any extra current capacity like an electric range would. But I guess it was still convenient to have an extra outlet regardless.

Re Aluminum
Aluminum is still the best metal to cook in, I believe nothing any so called authorities tell me about it, Its a proven fact you get more aluminum from anti perspirant or a Tums than you get from cooking high acid foods in aluminum .

RE-Oliger about the Conveince outlets.
In addition to the reply by FanOfFans about needing extra outlets in a kitchen, which just for the record, I do agree with. I just also wanted to ad that, convenience outlets were also handy when mashing potatoes, and you just want to do so in the pan that they were boiled in. Or, when making certain kinds of frosting, and you need to beat it, while it is still over the heat.
In the case of my Kelvinator Tri-Leval that I posted previously, one of the outlets is timed via the timers. So thus you can time your coffee to go in the morning. While that is still possible with a regular outlet timer, its just one more feature of the illustrious TOL package. Just my two cents.

Yes, a mixer! those are the kind of ideas I am looking for. And yes, my house was built in 1910. Although the kitchen was redone in 1972, there is still only 3 outlets, and one is for the refrigerator/ washing machine. So only 2 useable outlets.
As classic as I could make, let alone, have:
"Rainbow Pasta (Regular, Tomato & Spinach) in the big pot, Cauliflower in the small pot (cut off the stalk, of course) and a Self-Cleaning Cycle in the oven...!

My mom used the receptacle on the range for the toaster oven. If it was plugged in to the one on the wall, it would trip the breaker if the coffeemaker or waffle iron were being used.
My mother always plugged the electric skillet or the fry daddy into the plug-in on her 1966 40 inch coppertone Frigidaire electric range.
I wish I could find a picture of my grandmother's old crosley electric range from the 50's (I think). I think I remember it had coiled wire elements in the oven and a deep well on top.

Re aluminum
Use neither tums or anti perperasant.. chewing Fennel seed helps with acid reflux....baking soda or milk magnesium for deodorant. if truly needed.
I didn't think a whole lot about it till I heard more and more and esp from Dr Norm Shealey Mondays on Vinnie Fennilli " USA Prepares" ON GCN 9 TO 11 AM CST M_FRIDAYS
I HAVE massed BUT DEF USE ALL MY VISION WARE I HAVE ACQUIRED FROM THRIFT STORE, FLEA MKTS. ETC
Unfort I dropped another 2 qt pot las week or so well really knocked it over while transferring something else down in bsmt.. But don't use it for steaming as the inserts fold up type are no large. I found a SS fold up type...
But use my" All Clad' for steaming esp home grown or local green beans. Yum Yum"
since its so hot I use my bought used FABERWARE large table top oven on front porch to keep the terrible oppressive heat outside
excuse typos and misspelling as the spelling correcting thing is not working on my part. LOL

Unfortunately, CHETLATHAN, I can't...
That might be the only picture of it thatI have (& somewhere could be the fridge, but probably no dishwasher picture/pictures) when we lived in that apartment, up to ten years ago, & that '80's Almond GE set were "Just Appliances"...

Harvest Gold WH Terrace-Top Range
Is going to Michigan to join the Cavalcade of Ranges next weekend, I tested the No-Turn Speed-Broil feature, ran a Self-Cleaning cycle and upgraded the rusty chrome burner bowls to porcelain bowls that can be run through the SC cycle.
WH had a neat SC cycle that only used the broiler element and only took about one hour start to finish, It did a really good job. It was a self timed cycle where all you had to do was latch the door and set the selector switch to clean.

Wow! Never seen a 3rd heater insert before. What would it be used for? Speed cooking for hamburgers?
The extra oven element is for the Westinghouse No-Turn Speed Broil feature.
Did it work well? Doesn't seem to be made today.
That is a neat terrace top to have speed broiling and self cleaning!
How did you get the oven light to be off, while the door was open, in one of the pictures?
