Hi Scott, Some of the ads are from the net, other's are from my collection of vintage magazines. The Modern Living series once comprised of 16 parts, but as mentioned before, practically all the ads were lost. Hence the rebuilding. Glad you like it and enjoy, there are much more ads heading this way! |

I still have a Flint spatula like the one in reply#14 that belonged to my aunt. She gave it to me when I first moved out on my own in 1970. Every time I frost a cake, that what I use it. In fact, just this morning I frosted a Milk Chocolate cake made from scratch with Mocha frosting. Nothing frosts the sides of a layer cake better. There’s chip out of the handle, but it don’t hurt the run’n of it none! I’m pretty sure that putting it in the dishwasher is what caused the damage, too late now. I’ve also have the ladle and potato masher. And here’s a picture of the cake too.

I cant tell you how many times I stood next to my grandma as we took turns cranking that Flint egg beater while I "helped" her prepare whatever food she was making. :) |

My paternal Grandma had an egg beater (not a Flint) with green painted wooden handles. She also had a Chrome Dormeyer stand mixer that my Uncle Joe bought for her. But she never used the Dormeyer, always the egg beater. She used to make the best Strawberry Shortcake for family dinners in the Summer for about 20 people and I remember her making a huge bowl full of whipped cream in a 6 quart crockery bowl with that egg beater. And she used to whip it up pretty fast too. That egg beater was one of her prized possessions that she acquired during the Depression.

Was very big in 1920's through maybe early 1940's. However use began to die out by 1950's and production ceased worldwide by 1960 IIRC.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigmented_... However at least one business is attempting to keep "Vitrolite" alive. newsok.com/article/5443259/glass... Bringing this on home: "Structural glass received a major boost in 1913 when architect Cass Gilbert clad the restrooms of the Woolworth Building, then the world's tallest structure, in Carrara Glass. But into the 1920s, Vitrolite and its sisters were promoted as utilitarian surfaces for bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens. Furniture makers recommended Sani-Onyx table tops doused with cool water for rolling pastry, while Maytag used Vitrolite-lined tubs as a selling point for its washers." www.victoriansecrets.net/vitro7.h... |

That Wearever Pressure Cooker is just like the one my Mom always used. And she used it all the time. I also used it, probably the first time whjen I was about 12. Once I attempted to make Fried Chicken in it according to the instructions inthe Wearever cookbook that came with it. It was not very good at all, way over cooked and not crispy. I never attempted that again, LOL.
But the design of the lid was genius. Almost impossible to have a PC blow up with it. BTW, thanks Louie for all the work you put into posting these delightful vintage ads, I really enjoy them. I used to buy old magazines just for these wonderful bits of history, real windows into the past. Eddie |

Which was supposedly a pressure cooker for "broasting" chicken.
Didn't last on market long IIRC out of safety concerns. Pressure frying should only be done in devices able to withstand the heat and other forces created by hot oil. Being as all this may those vintage Chicken Buckets go for big money on fleaPay and elsewhere. Especially the later electric version. www.hippressurecooking.co... davescupboard.blogspot.com/2009/0... itkcalendar.com/illegal-fried-ch... What Wearever attempted to do was capitalize on various commercial restaurant fried chicken (such as Kentucky Fried) that use "broasting"/commercial pressure fryers to make their chicken. Have a Wearever Chicken Bucket and after the one use put it away. It was Mom's and can see why she went back to her cast iron skillet. For good deep frying oil/fat temp must not go below 350F, otherwise you risk getting greasy product instead of crispy. Problem is adding food to hot oil causes a temporary dip in temperature. Depending upon heat source the oil may rise back to range temps quickly or very slowly. The other thing about pressure frying is just that; once you cover and seal down the lid it is not possible to check temp and or thus regulate heat. Oil could be 340F, 320F, 480F, or 500F for all you know what is going on in there. |

You're welcomed Eddie. I too buy vintage magazines for the ads. It all started when I was 11. My parents had purchased a house and the former owner left stacks and stacks of Life and Look magazines from the 1950's through the 1960's in the basement. Boy, I was HOOKED with the car, appliance and food ads. |

My paternal grandmother had one in the space between the burners of her immaculate white Glenwood gas & gas stove.
I moved into her apartment after she passed, and I was so pleased to have that beautiful stove as the centerpiece of the kitchen! When the wife and I bought our house, my sister took our grandmother's old apartment. I can't for the life of me understand why, but I believe one of the first things she did was throw away the Aristo-Mat! And I know it was in perfect condition! I remember my grandmother used to polish the chrome and the stovepipe with Bon Ami. Now, the stove itself, along with its formerly gleaming stovepipe is looking quite neglected these days. GRRRRRR!

They have a display at the KFC Headquarters in Louisville of the Presto pressure cookers originally used to prepare Kentucky Fried Chicken--they were specially designed by Presto (and had a label stating such) for use in the KFC system. These would have been used in the 1952-1962 era when KFC was an add-on for regular restaurants. I worked in the corporate office of KFC from 1987-1989...the joke was that you could tell "old KFC people" by the scars on their inside wrists from using those kinds of fryers early in their careers. There have been several iterations of the pressure fryer systems since that point---while I was there, there were 3 different systems....mostly different capacities--smallest one was a round kettle; middle-size was a square kettle. These were both Henny Penny (as I recall). The biggest was an enormous chicken processor in which you rolled a rack of chicken and it was submerged (via a motor). It was enormous (size of two refrigerators) and very dangerous (required specific training and maintenance). I suspect there aren't too many of them around any more (as KFC has expanded their menu).

Hey Jamie.
I worked at a KFC, around 1987. They had a bank of Henny Penny fryers along one wall, and the big machine you mention was against the back wall. During peak times, we would just turn and burn with all the machines. As quick as you could bread the chicken, you drop another round. I don't have any idea who the manufacturer of the big fryer was, but I believe we used to call it the 10-3. Maybe that was the model number? Barry |
