's less than 15 minutes away, how can I not go? I set up a time to stop by and take a look. Yep, s he was cute, but that isn't enough.the bottom line would be, did she work? So I decided to drop Susan Branch a note asking about her vintage oven, and she was kind enough to reply, even suggesting a shop that carried replacement parts if I would ever need them. In no time at all I came across a 1950 Hotpoint for sale in "working condition" right here in my hometown. Then I had a brainstorm, being a devoted Susan Branch fan (read her 's LOVELY) I began thinking, what about a vintage double oven? Hmmm, I remembered she has one she loves, so I went back to her post about it.a 1956 O'Keefe and Merritt, "still going after almost sixty years in service."Īnd so I hopped online and began searching within a 50 mile radius. So I began researching double ovens: which ones were rated the best and were any of those in stock locally? If I'm going to be baking for my little farm market, two ovens are definitely better than one. Now, I'd be less than honest if I didn't say that a little part of my heart skipped for joy.I've been wanting a double oven for some time now. It stopped, and the oven stayed hot enough to finish baking the Charlie Brownies.a high priority. So off went the breaker and I unplugged the stove.
So, here's a little story of a stove named Mae.Ī month ago, while going through a baking frenzy (who isn't these days?) and right in the middle of the kids' favorite Charlie Brownies, I noticed the heating element in our oven looked like a sparkler and a hot glow was traveling around the element. And I'm guessing you're probably thinking two things:Ģ- Sure vintage is cute, but is she practical, can she cook? So today's post is to introduce you to Mae.a 1950 Hotpoint stove. It just seems like we take things a bit slower and enjoy them more. My son will say this is his favorite kind of day, and I absolutely agree. It's a cloudy Wednesday here on the farm.the kind of day that's good for old movies, favorite books, and an afternoon nap.
