 What episode are you talking about???...when did Ricky ever bake anything....are you referring to the episode where he made the chicken and rice and the rice overflowed and the chickens cooking in the pressure cooker exploded? Actually that Roper became the Ricardo's stove when they switched apartments with the Benson's after little Ricky was born. At that time Lucy also lost her Westinghouse Food Crafter Mixer and her Westinghouse Toaster......PAT COFFEY

That was Lucy baking the bread when she and Ethel were trying to economize because their husbands were such skinflints. She kept throwing yeast into the oven. I had never seen this switched apt before. | ||

I love the episode with the home-made bread loaf that proved to be not a shower, but definately a grower! | ||

The stove for that episode had to be gas because Fred turned the gas off. I'm pretty sure the WH came right back in the next kitchen episode. | ||

Most everyone did not have Westinghouse sponsoring them either. | ||

Easier to fake electric cooking is actually taking-place than gas cooking on camera. Ditto easier to have an electric stove/cooker actually connected/working on a set than a gas one. That show alludes to a gravity hot-air furnace in a multiple dwelling building. UH, no that never ever happened. Steam with radiators. | ||

 It was a "plot extender": Fred turns the gas off, and Ricky's shower gets Cold, too! (Cussin' in Spanish, well!!!! --LOL) I think the water gets shut off next...
So Lucy is unable to use her stove... (And didn't turning off the electricity make the TV screen go black?) I view the likely event as Fred & Ethel's apartment complex getting a "trial use" of gas ranges & back then, someone actually willing to swap electric for gas, then the other way around, going through the trouble of taking out those 40" Westinghouse's for 40" Ropers, then vice-versa...! (Frd can't see much of a difference in the way of gaining an increase in his tenants' utility bills, either way, huh?!) -- Dave | ||

 What happened was the "job Switching" episode where the girls go to work at the chocolate factory and the guys stay home was when the writers were trying to figure out how to get as much rice to come through the cooker to make a real mess.They figured they would drill a hole where they could take already cooked rice ( they got it at a local Chinese restaurant) and use a plunger to make it all billow out of the pot. It ruined the Westinghouse both from all the rice that built up all through the range and the drilled holes that made it utterly impossible to use it again.It was replaced with a gas Roper (Desi liked cooking with gas anyway and all the appliances were hooked up and fully functional.)

Oh, you mean where all the fish are in the freezer of the Westinghouse square-cornered (RECTANGLE-cornered, actually!) top mounted freezer fridge!!!!!!
Yeh, I remember: The fish are fallin' out of it!!!! It was an episode where they went fishing & where the cast was later living in West Port, CT., right???? Seems like it would be hard to film this cleanly vs. the rehearsal, but think of the dramatic angle, not to mention how much funnier this dimension added to that episode of that show!!!! (LOL-right now at the thought!!!!) -- Dave | ||

I think it was a Florida episode. The boys vs. the girls fishing contest and both went out and bought big fish then moved them from one hotel bathtub to another. | ||

The fish in the top freezer WH were at someone's mountain cabin shared, unknowingly at first, by the Ricardos and Ida Lupino and her husband. | ||

Pat, let me check. It may have been from the book, "Love Lucy" where she talks about some of the episodes and what went on backstage like the "Million Dollar Idea" where,during the taping, Vivian holds the sign with the address and phone numbers upside down.You can see where,after Lucy quietly tells her to turn the sign right side up because it's upside down and you don't here Lucy but your do hear Vivian look over and say "I did" but, she thought upside down meant backwards,flipped it to the other side which was also upside down, Lucy corrects Vivian and Vivian tells her to go fuck herself.or one of the other many books I have. I 'll have to look.

I would have sworn the upside-down sign AND the "I did" were scripted. | ||

The washer Lucy sold to Ethel was a Jacobs Launderall that had been modified. | ||

Thanks, pretty obscure. Obviously gutted so a stuntman could squat inside and toss clothes out. | ||

Actually they had three different fridges...all Westinghouse....The second one had the electric door latch that you just touched very lightly and the door would swing open....which was great if your hands were full. My 1957 GE fridge has a foot pedal that accomplishes the same thing and it is very handy I must say....PAT COFFEY
