Stove Exchange: 1954 General Electric to 1954 Westinghouse
Time was long overdue for a stove exchange in the Cavalcade Kitchen Studio and a visit from friend (and electric fan collector) Todd provided a little extra muscle for Ralph and I to move out the 1954 General Electric Liberator range and bring in the 1954 Westinghouse with the giant oven. #vintagerecipes #vintageappliances #westinghouse #vintage #vintagekitchen #stove #electricrange

Rhubarb Upside Down Cake - Celebrating Rhubarb Season in Michigan!
Переглядів 1,2 тис.День тому
I've done a lot of rhubarb recipes on Cavalcade of Food over the years because I really enjoy the flavor. Here in Michigan, rhubarb harvest usually begins in early June, which makes it one of the first vegetables harvested each year. The rhubarb that grows in my yard is really tart, so this recipe creates a nice balance of the sweet and tart on top of an old-fashioned cake. Great served warm wi...

    I just picked up a Faberware stainless steel electric “pot” . It has a domed lid and deep bottom pot. It looks like a cross between an electric skillet and a pot. It has temps on the plug in electric chord unit that have slow cook at 200. You think an all stainless steel appliance could actually slow cook? I have an instant pot that is a great pressure cooker, but it sucks at slow cooking. I wish I could send you a picture, really trying to figure this thing out!

    After my parents' divorce, I have a few memories of my Old Man sitting in a kitchen chair and using a hair dryer to defrost his refrigerator and chipping away with a butter knife and a bucket to throw the ice into. Granted he did this only at best twice a year so there was always a lot of ice and it was a production.

    My grandmother had tons of vintage Tupperware. I wish I still had her Tupperware but sadly it was all lost in hurricane Katrina and my uncle had my grandmother's home bulldozed before anyone could try to recover any of it out the home but also it was recommend by fema not to use any kind of dinnerware due to all containment in the mud and water in the home.

    Love your wonderful old stoves! My everyday range is a 40" 1947 Frigidaire built by General Motors in 1947. Everything works. Light bar, timer, clock/timer, soup pot and the oven cooks perfectly and evenly. One oven and side pan drawer with full length bottom pan drawer. Bought it in 2003 for $35. A wonderful stove still going strong and it will outlast me as I was also built in 1947! They built them right with pride 76 years ago!

    Greetings Kevin and friends! Such beautiful vintage stoves you have! How fun to rotate them and enjoying cooking, baking and just looking at them. I have a 1949 vintage O’Keefe & Merritt stove that I had shipped from Colorado to the east coast about 14 yrs ago, I absolutely adore it! It brings such a nostalgic look to my kitchen as well as it cooks and bakes beautifully. These old stoves are super heavy and made to last! Its features have 6 burners, 2 ovens and 2 broilers. It’s a joy to cook on. Thank you as always for sharing your videos, I enjoy them so much. Have a wonderful day!

    That's stove looks really good in that kitchen. It's nice that you preserve these old stoves. My grandmother has a Jenn-Air stove from the 1980s which is not as decorative as any of yours but it has saved the day many times for Neighbors with newer stoves that malfunction more frequently. The Jenn-Air does have a lot of neat features that at plug and play. You can swap an electric grill for an electric griddle. She keeps the grill on one side but she never uses it. You also have your choice of any type of electric stove burner that exists including induction. Currently hers has the flat ceramic burners on it. It also has a downdraft exhaust vent.

    • @cavalcadeoffood

      Thanks, Robert. The Jenn-Air is one range I don't have in my collection. Most of the early ones were built-in units and you don't seem them too often. I know they are very versatile ranges which appeals to people who like to cook with different methods. Thanks!

    In the kitchens I remember the stoves gleamed and were spotless. People were proud they could afford such modern conveniences. It does bring back fond memories of places and people, holidays and celebrations and just the ordinary days gone by. My dad was a construction worker and got home from work before my mom. His job was to peel the potatoes, boil the cabbage and get the meat loaf mom made that morning in the oven. An image of him doing that came to mind. I miss those people.

      @hydractor 2 дні тому

      Sadly, the oven was not all that deep and two 10" Bundt pans filled a rack. It was designed for bread baking and it held a lot of loaf pans on each rack, but GE and Frigidaire ovens held more due to their greater depth and height.

  • @terrysuemakesvideosforyou9940

    Hi Kevin! Thanks for this video! I love it when you switch out your stoves! My Grandma had the same 1954 GE stove in her house in Detroit when I was little. I helped her bake lots of cookies in it. When she moved to a new house in the suburbs in 1968, she had a new kitchen with the lit ceiling and Aqua appliances. Such great memories of kitchens! Mostly of the food and people who cooked in them! But boy, were they pretty! Have a great week!

    So interesting to see the same year offerings from two manufacturers with lots of engineering behind their products! Your GE model is the relative of the Pillsberry recipe stove final contestant giveaway model of the early 50s I think! As you went over the unique features of these models, it’s just hard not to think that modern stoves will never equate the same quality and craftsmanship of these earlier models. It’s neat to see each manufacturer tackling cooking task and challenges in a unique way. And built like a futuristic tank. A new stove made to this standard would cost over $10,000 probably today. Thank you for preserving and sharing American engineering from the past!

    • @cavalcadeoffood
      @cavalcadeoffood 2 дні тому

      Hi John! Yes - the Liberator was the range that contestants got to keep from the Bake Off. You can imagine what an incredible prize that was at the time. These were very well made appliances and GE often touted the Bake Off where they would have 100 ranges in use at the same time, day after day, and there was never a single failure. They just couldn't build something like this today because most people couldn't afford it. Thanks!
