Electric Bean Pots

Long before microwaves, people either made popcorn in a pot on the stove, or had one of these electric poppers that heated the oil and popped the corn. Knapp-Monarch, Dominion, Mirro, West Bend, Sears, and many other brands made poppers. Episode #344

Electric Bean Pots

 These wonderful ceramic bean pots were made by West Bend from the 1950's and into the 1970's. They were one of the first vintage appliances I collected, and make wonderful beans and other things. I often think of them as one of the early versions of the slow cooker. 

Dishwashers

 I've had a number of requests for a closer look at the dishwashers at the Cavalcade. I only have three, two of them are Kitchen Aid (models KDS-20 and KDS-57A) and the other is a Maytag (model WC-204). Two of the dishwashers are roll-away style.
