As my parents always say “Stuff back then was built to last” Glad you have so many fond memories. Cooking has always been the best family memories in my family as well.

I stayed at an airBnB that had one of these. Very cool.

Nice!! My grandparents also had a Frigidaire Flair for decades where the stovetop slid back into the wall like that. Apparently, they're kind of a collector's item with an internet fan club now.

I wonder if maybe they weren't energy hogs, and maybe didn't get up to heat fast enough to keep up with the competition.
Gorgeous oven and design either way

If you want a stroll down memory lane for these type of items, go check out r/Pyrexlove which also has some Corningware items like these as well from time to time!

My aunt recently renovated her house, tearing out an unneeded bedroom so she could expand the kitchen. A dual oven as well as a 30" pizza oven was installed.

Reply to My first potato peeler (Sparschäler) I got this Sparschäler 10 years ago already used by my grand mother. It is still a mass product and you can buy it for round about 5 USD. But this one is made in West Germany so at least 33 years old and almost daily in use. by Secundus_Scipio
I have 2 of these. I should probably clean them, they are pretty rusty. I also have a different peeler made from plastic, my go to.

The firmer foam gives you support so you don't bottom out on the eggshell or memory foam topper

Why did you buy a sandwich iron at 18? You're about my age, and the first time I heard about sandwich irons was when the panini craze hit (2002?).

You ain’t kidding. She passed about 6 years ago now, and I can still feel her warmth all over the house, especially at this stove. It was rare for her not to be here with her apron on when we would visit.
