And, So did Tappan! Friend of mine had an electric Tappan Flair clone. I liked to use the smaller oven. That book sounds very appealing, Veg! Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

I had no idea. I mean seeing the Kenmore cook Center on Donna Reed; Flair on Betwitched; Scott telling me about the Tappan. And now the Roper. I don't consider the GE Americana style (eye-level and lower oven) in the same class as the Flair type arrangement where both or one oven were solely on top of cook surface. But my aunt had a GE flair clone with the single oven above and the cooking surface and then wood cabinets below.

books Guess I will have to visit the BN bookstore near me to see if they have these-seems like folks have an interest in vintage and some collectable things here. | ||

Common manufacturer Was there a common manufacturer of these flair type ranges?Or did the independent manufacturers produce their own? Anybody know for sure? | ||

When I was a kid we had a gas stove with one of those thermostatic things in the center of the burner. I never knew what that was at the time, but now it makes sense. Very clever. Are these still made? And are there electric stoves with similar thermostats? | ||

I'm pretty sure Caloric invented the ME range. ME stands for Microwave/Electric. Caloric had some advanced ideas about cooking(also part of Raytheon). After awhile they also had a gas version. I also think they were the first with a self-cleaning GAS oven in the mid '70's and halogen/induction cooktops. | ||

Hi coldspot Yes caloric always had nice looking stoves, big on lighted backguards and clocks and timed outlets. My aunts also had the thermostatic burner, with the little "tab" the touched the pot like the roper pictured above. what happened to caloric? alr2903. | ||

I think Raytheon "retired" Caloric, Modern Maid & Glenwood in the 90's. Since Amana was a most recognized name, they labeled everything Amana and dropped low end gas ranges like Glenwood & Sunray. | ||
