According to this article...

The 400 came first, in 1959....then the Flair in 1960. One house we lived in growing up had a Roper Charm

I remember the magazine ads for the gas ones. They often pictured asparagus being boiled in a Pyrex percolator with the tender tips out of the water taking a steam bath.

Which isn't a bad way to cook asparagus if you know what you're doing.

Good Lord.

I haven't thought about cooking Asparagus like that in years. I remember back in the 60s reading a article about doing that. So, I tried it in our Corning ware stove top percolator and it worked beautifully.

It beats having to buy and store an asparagus steamer in real life and the colors of the green asparagus and the blue flame, both visible through the glass and the boiling water, added drama to the ad.
