One of my favorite small appliances, the versatile electric skillet is a real helper in the kitchen and for entertaining. Here we take a tour of the vintage electric skillet collection at Cavalcade.
" I might be crazy, because I collect things like electric skillets." Lol. Not by my definition. Love the fact you got your dream display place. I have a similar wish for my collections too.
I really enjoy your videos and your sister behind the camera! Brother and sister working and having fun together! I love the vintage items you display, your collections, and knowledge of what you have. I was born in 1957. I remember my grandmothers, mother, aunts, and I using many of the things you show in your videos. Fond memories, the good old days! Brenda in Arizona
My wife and I received a Westbend electric skillet as a wedding gift nearly 27 years ago. I used it for everything for many years. Somewhere along the line it got packed away and fell out of use. Recently my daughter found it and asked if she could take it. Now I wish I could get it back!! I certainly loved that old Westbend.
I have a Sunbeam model FP-12B electric skillet that looks identical to the one you said would fit 4 grilled cheese sandwiches in. Mine has a chrome temp. dial with a non vented aluminum lid. The story behind it is somewhere around 1959 or 1960 my mother re-married and received this as a wedding gift from Frank and Geraldine Carter ( which were our next door neighbors ). I was 3 or 4 years old at the time ( I have just turned 67 ) and mother went on to have 3 more children. Many, many, many meals were cooked in this skillet. Hamburger patties with grilled onions, fried chicken, country fried steak with gravy, pork chops etc. She used this skillet at least 3 times per week when we were growing up. Unfortunately we lost mother in 2014 and my siblings didn't want her old vintage revere ware copper bottom cook ware with lids and the electric skillet etc. so I kept all of it and not only is all of it my favorite it brings me to a happy place with floods of good memories of my childhood. Just 2 days ago my wife cooked pork chops, potatoes and onions in it and it was delicious. My wife commented on how evenly it heats as opposed to our newer elec. skillet that has hot spots. Also the RevereWare copper bottom pots are my favorite pots and pans as well but that's for another day. You just can't buy stuff like this anymore. I enjoyed your video!
Hi barronlatta - thank you and I'm glad the video brought back good memories of you mom's Sunbeam skillet. The Sunbeam's are my favorites and they do a great job. There are so many meals you can cook with an electric skillet - a great small appliance to have and I'm glad to know you are still using your mom's!!
Good for you! It is so sad that Corning sold out their complete housewares division in 1996 to World Kitchens, Inc. and they no longer are the same wonderful products that they were from 1915 until 1996. Just too bad that those people changed the glass formula from Borosilicate glass to Soda Lime which just does not hold up like the original. That new soda lime stuff is scary…Google it…don’t buy it. Thank you for another great video!
The Corning models remind me of the West Bend "Lazy Day" slow cooker I grew up with as our "crock pot." A heated base with removable enameled steel vessel with handles and lid that you can even use on the stovetop. It was handed down to me and I loved it so much I found and bought a second one!
Those West Bend cookers were very nice and versatile. My mom had one, too. She liked it better than the ceramic crocks because it could be used on the stove. Glad you found another one!
I find they work great, to just take your frozen meat and season it, throw it in the electric skillet and cook it. I tend to forget to defrost my meat and cooking it from frozen doesn't seem to hurt anything. Sometimes you do have to remove the lid to get a nice sear on the other side, as when cooking it on the first side with the lid on, tends to produce a lot of steam. Although the steam helps to defrost the meat, the second - top side can tend to steam when you cook it, other than sear if there are too many juices in the pan.
Oh gosh do you have a video on his electric percolator collection? I’m a collector of them myself and would be thrilled to watch a whole video on his collection, please let me know, I’d love to see it as I saw he also has quite a collection of those! ☺️
I have a Queen Anne stainless steel electric frypan with the liquid core. Had it for years. They’re amazing. Salesmen used to go door to door in the 1960’s. Am still using it!
My grandmother bought the first Sunbeam model in the early 1950s. We still use it! You were correct, it fits four grilled cheese sandwiches perfectly! I opted for the round GE model in my signature turquoise. It works like a dream too!
Hi Kiley! Those old Sunbeam skillets seem to last forever - nice that you are still using your grandmother's! Those round GE skillets are beauties - especially in turquoise! Thanks!
And to me the turquoise is pretty. They made I think a smaller 9 inch one, and a larger 12 inch one. Both have nice heavy aluminum for good even heat distribution.
I'm so happy that you showed the Corning pieces. I have both of them, and had not seen any information about them. I bought them to cook outside with my mom when I would take her on a picnic from her nursing home. Now the earlier one sits on my vintage late 40's Frigidaire stove. These are all so useful, and I have a few others, Sunbeam, Farberware, and one of those oil filled. I love them all, and admire your collection so much!!
My Mom was a wonderful cook and cooked up a storm in her Cornflower Corning ware electric skillet (with the white base and black handled bottom) and many of her Corning ware items- including the large coffee percolator. I have them now 😍! I loved coming home to see the Electric skillet cooking away on the counter and I would run over to look thru the glass cover to see what delights awaited us! (As a newlywed she had almost the complete set of Guardian Service)
I have a Lifetime brand stainless steel electric skillet with oil-filled bottom. Still working like new 36 years later. The only thing that has been changed is the thermostat a couple of years ago. I really love your vintage appliances!
Hi Gilberto! That Lifetime skillet was really built to last a long time, they were very good products. Glad you have one and are still using it! Thanks for watching!
Best thing ever for frying chicken and soft crabs. Trying to fry on a glass top stove the heat is hard to keep even. My husband won’t let me go “backwards” & get an old fashioned stove with real burners, even they are better than glass tops. I would go soft crabbing with my grandmother in the morning & she would fry them for supper that night in her electric frying pan. Nothing better!
I liked the stainless ones and I loved seeing the Corning ones. I didn't know they had them!! But, you do have an awesome collection!! loved seeing them all!! Thanks Kevin! Thanks Mary!!. Hope Ralph is ok!!
Hi Kevin, I have been watching some of your videos and I enjoy them. I believe that I must be around your age as I remember many of the small electrics that you collect. The videos take me back to the 60s and 70s when items like an electric frypan or blender were marketed with the same level of enthusiasm as a new iPhone might be today. With COVID I have been cooking a lot more at home and appreciating gadgets like my stand mixer from the early 90s, or my electric wok from the mid-70s. These were not thrift store purchases, I bought them new-and they still work! I think it is great that you have a love for industrial design. I think it is an art form unto itself. I'm glad someone is preserving these products-otherwise they would be lost to landfills. Do you actually open your shop to the public, or it is mostly a place to hold your collections?
Hi Mike! Great to hear from you! Always nice to meet someone who appreciates these appliances. Yes, many were marketed as "modern marvels of convenience" and "life-changing" back when they were introduced! They fact that you are still using your mixer and wok after all these years tells you that they were well made in addition to being well designed. Since so many more people are cooking at home due to the pandemic, it's nice to dust off some of these appliances and put them into service. The building is really a place to keep the collection and produce videos. Thanks so much!
It is indeed funny to see that "enthousiasm" vibrating in the ads from that period, although I suspect the Women's Liberation Front enjoys these old publicities with far less enthousiasm :) The world was less chaotic, you had the Reds and us, the men and the women etc. All that radically changed, but I'm not sure it is a much happier world ?
Thank you so much for sharing your collection with the world-my grandmother has a GE model almost identical to the one you showed at 7:33. It was a wedding present over 60 years ago and still makes the perfect grilled cheese! I just got my very own electric skillet, a Toastess model-both were made in Canada.
Wow what a nice collection. The uncoated Sunbeams are my favorite and I have three of them, they are fantastic as you say for cooking outdoors and keeping your kitchen clean and odor free. Please do not use any of the early Teflon coated ones; that early Teflon contains PFOA and PFOS both of which have cancer risk factors. The chemical itself leaches into the hot cooking foods and can also be ingested by the coating flaking off. I would personally discard them.
HI MrScottie68! I agree that the old Sunbeam are the best and they are my favorites, also. I use them all the time. I don't use any appliance or pan that has Teflon (old or new) or any synthetic non-stick surface because of the chemical transfer. I have things in the collection from certain time periods and keep them as representations but don't use them. Thanks for watching!
Mom had a poppy red GE electric frypan and a Sears Kenmore frypan with a domed lid. She made pork tenderloin and gravy in that one many times. Granny had the smaller Sunbeam with the handle and chrome knob and I have it now, but have never used it. Thanks for showing the Corning Ware units. Not very popular, I would assume. Never seen one until now. Thanks for sharing all your electric skillets!
Hi Jonathan! These electric skillets are great for so many things and I guess your mom and grandmother knew this since they cooked in them! The Corning units were more expensive then many of the other skillets, and really designed for people who were using Corning cookware already. Thanks for watching!!
Kevin. I love seeing these appliances. I inherited a square Sunbeam, just like the one you showed, from my beloved Grandmother. She made the most amazing fried chicken, using Kelliogg's cornflake crumb recipe, but fried instead of baked. It finally bit the dust and I bought one of the stainless Farberware skillets. I love it because you can get a whole chicken in it. As always, thanks for sharing your collection, that brings back so many wonderful memories. Stay safe, stay mighty!
Hi Patsy! That Sunbeam of your grandmother's probably cooked a lot of great meals! The corn flake crumbs must have tasted great! Funny, I remember my mom using them when she made meatballs. Glad you enjoyed the collection and thanks for watching!
I had a 'oil filled' skillet which had a huge domed lid, like 18 inches tall, so you could cook a chicken on a beer bottle. I gave the domed lid to my sister, but I suspect you could just put a tall pot of the right diameter on the skillet base and achieve the same thing. It was designed - so the instructions said to be a stove top oven !
Hi Kevin & Mar. Thank you for another wonderful video. Brought back some good memories. My mother-in-law worked for Sunbeam so all of our small kitchen appliances were from Sunbeam. I like how you share a little history on each brand. Take care.
Relish tray makes my table complete. I am always checking out the thrift stores for relish trays and butter dishes. Have to be very selective because like you said, there are a lot of relish trays on the secondary market. Fun to find the unusual ones. Really like the deviled egg combo style dish. Will be looking for one.
Hi Janice - you know, I often forget about butter dishes. I don't have that many but it is another great piece of tableware. You're right about there being an abundance of them, and you know the popular ones because there seems to be one in every thrift shop!! Thanks so much!
What a joy! I appreciate the history that you shared with all of these wonderful American-made electric skillets. Its amazing to think that so many of these vintage appliances are still working to this day. Thank you so much for the video. I checked out your video list and subscribed. I saw so many interesting titles in your collection. Looking forward to watching them. Take care and God bless.
Amazing collections...love all your videos sharing these kitchen appliances with us. I assume you have an old cookbook collection as well. That would fun to see that collection in another video.
Love Love Love this episode, Kevin! I've seen many of these (and own a few) but many I have not. The Corning (Love the trefoil design) and GE's were ones that I have not seen but I own a Westinghouse, Kenmore (it was my grandmother's), Farberware, West Bend (the deeper version with the wooden handles), and a Sunbeam. Love them all! I'd like to have a Vollrath but they're hard to find. I have my grandmother's Vollrath cookware and love it. Heavy stainless steel. Looking forward to seeing more of the Calvacade collection! Best to you! Adam.
Hi Adam! I was hoping you would watch this one because I had a feeling you'd love it! Sounds like you've got some great electric skillets! I don't have a Vollrath either and I rarely see any Vollrath stuff here in Michigan. Hope all is well with you!
My dad was a Sunbeam technician in in Australia in the 60s and 70s when everything was serviceable , he could repair and tune anything Sunbeam, I have numerous iappliances Sunbeam nowadays but none Teflon, thanks for the great walk down memory lane how we used to be.
Hi falseprofit - nice story about your dad. I'm sure he repaired all kinds of appliances, and how nice when you could still have something repaired instead of needing to buy a new one! Thanks!
I never knew Corning-ware made one. Have you ever used it and doesn't it work well? I am trying to believe it would work as well as a metal one, but find that hard to believe. Love the videos! Thank you!
Hi Jeff & Kevin! Yes, Corning made an "electric skillet" for a number of years. Essentially, it was a two-piece unit with the heating platform serving as a hotplate and then a piece of Corning cookware on the top. Unlike a conventional electric skillet, where the food being cooked makes direct contact with the heat source, this indirect heat method that Corning used increases cooking time. The upside is that things don't tend to burn or scorch as easily, but the cooking method is not as efficient. It was a way to allow people to have an electric skillet that matched the rest of their cookware, something Faberware, Revere Ware, Wear Ever and others did, as well. In the case of the metal cookware manufacturers, they could produce an electric skillet with the heating element built into the bottom of the utensil. Thanks for watching!
Sorry I'm late for the party...lol But just found this channel and want to say yes those Corning skillets work great! I have the early white one I use with my Corning Ware pcs. They cook a good as the others. They can go as high as 400 degrees.
Hi Kevin and MaryAnn! This was a great educational video and I learned so much from you, Kevin! Wow, I never knew that Corning Ware made an electric skillet and certainly never saw one! Tell me, Kevin, do you ever come in the museum/studio and take your appliances down from the shelf and use them? I wondered if you do but never thought to ask. I hope that Ralph's absence doesn't mean that he is ill. I missed his voice tonight watching this video. MaryAnn did a wonderful job in his stead, though. Until next time-sending you all virtual hugs and squeezes. :-)
Hi Princess Skate! Yes, I like to use my appliances whenever I have the opportunity. Ralph is fine - he had to work on this day so Marianne stepped in to do the camera. Sending hugs back!! Stay well!
I've seen the bases for the corning ware for sale on Ebay but did not realize they could get so hot. I thought they were warming trays. Apparently I was wrong. We had a bit of corningware dishes growing up, as I guess most people did.
The Salad Master company used to advertise their products during Saturday wrestling. The man would bang the pans together to show the strength. They stacked together to make a whole meal economically with steam . Those ads were early infomercials, coming on between wrestling matches . We thought the man demonstrating them was a riot !
I think it's funny how they would advertise pots and pans during a wrestling match! That's great. The Salad Master stuff was all very high quality! Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood In the 60s and 70s Saturday afternoon wrestling matches and rollerball matches were pretty camp . Salad Master would send a representative to cook supper for a group and sell the pans after demonstration and the meal. The ads showing the man banging the Salad Master pan against the inferior pan and denting it was so funny. Thank you for responding back, it was a pleasure to hear from you .
Wonderful tour of your extensive collection! We had standard Sunbeam when I was a kid, but can’t say it got a lot of use in my mom’s kitchen. Props to your sister for filling in for Ralph behind the camera. Aside: Had to comment on your apron-Shaw is one of my favorite writers. You’re even wearing a tie for the occasion!
Thanks, Puple-browed Beep! I got that apron when I attended the Shaw festival, which is held annually in Ontario. It was a great celebration of his work. Thanks for watching!
@@purple-browedbeep54 The song by Marc was purple pied Pete, but i saw a quote from BP, feeling it was about him, maybe it was...that evening, purple browed, or otherwise.
I love electric skillets. I've had several different ones over the yrs. I now have a round one. They make a wonderful roast dinner. I also have the early Corning Ware white skillet. I use it avidly with my CW pieces. I don't even have a stove. I took it out of the apt to plug my dryer into the 220. I have a hot plate plus the 2 electric skillets and a big toaster oven and a couple crock pots. NO micro thank goodness... Those things are just good for heating soup and takes up space.
Hi Wendy - I think we could still build good quality things that are made to last, except today they would be incredibly expensive. I'm so glad there's still lots of old stuff out there to enjoy! Thanks for watching!
@@wendyw4487 The philosophy behing household appliances has changed a lot: until the 1950's they generally were expensive too but often built to last a lifetime. (except for those of companies like Bersted, which made cheap junk). Later, companies shifted away from that idea, and they wanted to reach the masses with always cheaper products. Except for cheaper material, the best way to lower the price was to built these appliances in countries with lower wages. So double loss: employment and quality. But the general public doesn't seem to mind their appliances often seem to stop functioning just shortly after the warrant period is over...
I have a party chef like that one. I read online that they used very thin aluminum on the inside cooking surface and did not work that well and gave a very uneven heating surface. But boy did they look cool - like a Jetson's piece of cook ware.
Sometimes these things were more form than function. I've not used that Party Chef so I don't know how well it performs. My Sunbeam skillets are among the best I've ever used. Thanks!
@@cavalcadeoffood I was thinking of putting a heavier pie plate type insert in the Party Chef, to help equalize out the hot spots, I bet that would work. I had another what I think of is an early 1950's electric skillet, that has a very big 'it's on' light, you can see the spirals of the nicrhrome metal lit up when it is heating. This is like the GE blue electric skillet but not nearly as thick. I like it because it is so big. You can really cook a lot in those big electric skillets. And if they get good and burned up while cooking, just put in some dish soap, water, simmer them for a few minutes and they clean up nice and easy.
The handiest electric fry pan presto made was called the wee-fry. It had a cooking surface that was about 6 X 9 and came with a glass lid that could be used as a baking dish. A very good size for cooking for one or two people. The only thing i would have changed about it was the control unit should have been on the end instead of the side. Like many great presto designs they were only produced for a short time.
What a most wonderful collection, we have a PRESTO, did lots of stuff in it BUT VEAL CUTLETS WERE THE MOST POPULAR FOR US .it’s tucked away somewhere in the pantry , not used for years ,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hey, I have that Cory but it has a Westinghouse control and the Westinghouse cookbook. I call it the space ship, too. My mother made her fantastic pot roast in her Sunbeam. It also had a ceramic insert ,
Hi Fred - yes that Cory looks like something ready to take off to outer space! I'll bet your mom's pot roast was delicious in the Sunbeam! Thanks for watching!
Our electric skillet, can't remember the brand - but in the 60s & did have a Teflon coating on it, went on vacation with us as well as our 12 cup Faberware electric coffee pot. Biy help in motel kitchens where kitchen tools were iffy.
I have two Sunbeam ones. An FP-A-Standard 11 inch And RLB-6-Buffet 12 inch. Both work wonderfully. The FPA was $8, plus 20 for a NOS heat probe from ebay. (I can't find this model anywhere, with the correct probe, so I just got a NOS one.) The buffet style one was $10 plus shipping. I prefer the buffet, which is from the 60's, it's better for large cuts of bacon. The other is from the early 70's. I use them everyday for breakfast. Eggs, bacon. Toast in the 40120 sunbeam toaster, coffee in the AP10 Sunbeam Percolator. I like to think that an electric skillet's name is akin to yes; a skillet. A round base with a handle or two, and a lid. Farberware and other skillets were round like a skillet. The Sunbeams are akin to yes; a pan. When I think of a pan, it is large, flat, and square or rectangular, like a baking pan. I believe this is why Sunbeam called their's the Sunbeam Electric Frypan.
Hi Sharko! You have a couple of nice electric fry pans with your Sunbeam models! Interesting how some are called "skillets" and other "pans," but it may be because of the shape, as you suggest! Thanks so much!
I have just found an old Zip model FPI which must have been manufactured around the 1960s. It is made in New Zealand and it still works perfectly. So much more solidly made than my modern ones. I haven't found the aluminium sticks if you add a little oil ,and the beauty of aluminium is that it can be srubbed clean unlike the teflon surfaced ones. A little beauty, which I will keep and enjoy. Linda Lang, Auckland New Zealand,
Hi Linda! So great to hear from New Zealand!! That old Zip skillet you found sounds great and well built! Yes, you can give those old aluminum ones a good scrubbing with no worries. Enjoy!!
Super collection! This was an excellent video! Now off the subject which do you store Kevin in? We know where Marianne is we know where you are. So you must have him sitting on a shelf somewhere. LOL thanks once again for a wonderful walk down memory lane
Beautiful collection! I just love your videos. My mom had a Towncraft electric skillet when I was a child and it fascinated me. It was one of the ones that had the oil inside for even cooking. I have managed to find two of these over the years, one small and one large. I use them regularly and love that they are all stainless steel and completely submersible! I just throw mine in the dishwasher and they come out spotless every time. Kevin do you have any Towncraft electric skillets in your collection? I didn’t notice any on your video and I just wanted to know what your opinion was of this type of skillet or if you are familiar with the brand? AnyWho, please keep up the good work, I love looking at your collection of vintage kitchen appliances!
Hi Jason - thanks for your comment and sharing your story about your mom's Towncraft electric skillet. I don't have one in my collection and in my travels had only come across one at a sale and it was so dirty and uncared for that I passed on it. Sounds like you keep yours in tip-top shape! I do have a couple of oil filled skillets which are also all stainless and submersible. One is Rena Ware and the other is a Salad Master. Both are excellent! Thanks so much for watching!
I have salad master ss 10 and 12 inch oil core electric skillets ..they are work horses . Mine have been loaned out at times .they will cook in the garage or patio ..they have gone camping ..they have been on vacations to use in hotels etc ..they are part of the family .
Too bad it was but rarely specified from which decade each of these "skillits" are. What was best for cooking purposes, aluminium or stainless steel ? And were the prices of both more or less similar ? Otherwise, nice collection, though I was expecting a Dormeyer too... The Dory "UFO" reminds me somewhat of the plastic Quellux Infrared lamp for health purposes, same design approach, one always expected a miniature Martian stepping out of it, and asking to be taken to our "leader". Skillets seem to have been less popular in Europe, as far as I can judge. A variety of pressure cookers (Miss Mary, Presto, SEB,...) and non-electric pans seem to have been more "en vogue" over here.
Of course we're commenting...lol. Love them all, and I spy one I have on your shelf. The Sunbeam that has the cover handle on the side. Mine has the broiler Calrod for the cover that plugs into the same temp control for the frypan. I've only used it to see if it works, but never have used it to cook. I have the 2 sided flip to lower or raise rack, and it's cookbooks/manuals. I can only imagine the burns the lid may have caused. But, it is the preferred skillet to make your Paprikash. Perfect every time. One question though. Can one adjust the temp control or calibrate it? On both this one, and my Sunbeam Turquoise is off by 40 degrees. One gets too hot, and the other is too cool.
Hi Longhairbear! I don't know if there is a way to calibrate the thermostats on these. I've not heard of a way to do that. I have one of the Sunbeams with the broil element in the lid and used it one time and it worked fairly well. Thanks for watching!
I love electric skillets. So easy to control the heat. Seems when these no-nonstick skillets were real popular, they always included the temp for liver ! I think that generation - cooks from the 1950's ate a lot of liver. Must be a depression era thing. @ 5:11 I have a skillet like this one but the lid has a nice big square cut out, with a glass window so you can easily see how your food is cooking. I think it is a Universal brand and it is made from nice thick aluminum, so it gives a nice even heat. I also have a few 'oil core' type skillets that cook wonderfully. Sometimes the thinner aluminum electric skillets, get quite a bit hotter around the round heating element ring. I have a sunbeam skillet that has a heating element in the lid for broiling or browning the top of what you are cooking. I know you must have one of those. I don't think using one of those, with the bottom element and top element draws too much power, at least when I used my for great hash browns, it did not blow a fuse.
Thanks - I love electric skillets, too. They are so versatile. I have the Sunbeam with the element in the lid for broiling and browning. I haven't blown a fuse with it yet, but it does get quite hot. My mom made liver every once in a while, and cooked it with onions and sometimes a little bacon. I loved it!
@@cavalcadeoffood Seems the depression era folks (and older) liked liver. I'll eat it if I have to, but don't prefer it. The electric skillet with the heating element in the lid, make really nice hash browns, as you don't have to flip the hash browns, but cook them, and brown them all at once. They come out nice and crispy.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Question: Do you have a Toastmaster P803 (stainless steel, square) electric skillet, and if so, what are your candid thoughts on it? I'm getting a P803 soon and am curious to know. Thanks so much!
Hi Dan! Glad you enjoyed the episode! Sorry, I don't have that model of Toastmaster skillet, so I can't really give you any thoughts. If it's like other Toastmaster products from that period, you will have a very nice electric skillet to use and enjoy! Thanks!
I was able to find a Sunbeam Broiler Cover Frypan, NEVER USED, at a local Resale Shop for $15.00 instructions and Recipe Book included. Wish I could post a picture. So shiny!!!
Hi Jeff! I will do a mixer episode one of these days - maybe more than one! I don't collect vacuum cleaners, but love the history of them and the many different styles.
The big Sears is a West Bend I have a rarity a 55 square aluminum Farberware. he Wards is made by Sunbeam, the Sunbeam skillet came out in 53 Farberware and Presto shared the patent on the detachable thermostat in 55,
Thanks so much, Hans! I can count on you for the history on some of these. I was wondering who made that Wards model. The detachable thermostat was really a game changer. Hope all is well! Thanks!
I have an electric skillet that has a broiler unit in the lid, a wire rack to hold the food as you broil it. It will also bake. Finding the instruction booklet is sometimes hard to find. I also have two Salad Master electric copper core skillets and another one that is larger…called Society Lady?…Farberware, I think…yes, the buffet server…I love it. I really love my Corning ware electric skillet because it looks so elegant…and you can serve any ware. I also have an electric saucepan that is about 6 inches deep… and another electric saucepan…stainless and beautiful. If I were not in bed and my kitchen downstairs, I would go look and get the brand. Sorry.
Hi Kevin, This is a great collection you've got with excellent elaborate on each piece!! Am looking for an EF50 model Presto skillet replaceable cord,well its an old skillet but cant get rid of it.How can you help?
Hi Mathews - all I can suggest is to search online for a replacement cord for your Presto skillet. I'm sure someone has one to offer. Thanks for watching!
I have a sunbeam but the lid doesn't hang on the side, I wish mine did, Which ones do like the best? My sunbeam gets hot quick, I think the one I have temps Is way off. especially for a hamburger lol Not sure if they are all that way? I am going to try a pork chop next. Thank you for this I finally dug my out and cooked with it today. Salsbury steak. I was wondering also the reg old-time farberware stovetop pans good to use. thinking of getting some.
I use my Sunbeam electric skillets quite a bit - they are probably my favorite. Faberware made them in stainless steel, and they are very nice also. The old Faberware pots and pens are great. I have a number of them and use them often. Thanks!
My grandmother i think had the Sunbeam and my mother had the Farberware "Buffet Server". My mother would make pot roast and stew in hers. I can remember the Farberware "burping", pardon my lack of class, as it repeated lifted and lowered itself throughout the cooking process. Could you please make some video featuring either or both? Thanks and stay safe!
Hi Andrew - thanks for watching! Yes, we will do a recipe featuring an electric skillet. You can see a Sunbeam in action in a few of our videos: swiss steak, chicken paprikash and chilaquiles.
