Drop in? Slide in?
Looks kind of abused, but I honestly don't know anything about these. As an aside, I like the floor covering! CLICK HERE TO GO TO JustJunque's LINK on Westernmass Craigslist

Barry- I don't know that it's abused so much as it's just.......... awkward and kind of unattractive. Too many knobs. Someone bent the handle probably from uninstalling it.
Gansky- "Butter burner"? I like that idea. perfect for a 2 cup pan for melting pup corn butter. I wonder if it's really as small as it looks and if it's just a on-off low wattage type deal.
Oliger- What does that say that a vynil sheet floor from 1973 lasted nearly 50 years. There are still some sheet flooring available that is 'tolerable' but the shiny bright stuff from the 80s and 90s I have not been able to find. Though I have found remnants. I've seen those 'laminate' floors. They are certainly easy to install but as soon as any moisture gets into any of the MANY seams, the cheap particle board is swelling on the edges. They won't last 50 years. At least they are easy to UNinstall.

I've never heard it called that.
John L. set me up with a 30" stainless Thermador cooktop with that burner for the country house. I had one before and loved it. The little burner has (at least mine did) a full infinite control like the others. It's perfect for boiling up a small pot of tea or heating something up in a Corning Ware petit pan. Sarah |

The little "busy burner" is also good for use with smaller vacuum coffee makers and yes, they had a full infinite switch. |

This is a built-in range that must hang from the counter-top and it comes with percent steel covered power cable that must be direct wired to the power supply like a wall oven.
This is an early version about 1970, I have the same range in my kitchen that was built about 1972.
This is a well built and designed range with many high quality features, Features that are also found of TD CTs and WOs of the same time period. TD built the best BI cooking appliances in North America, there were other good brands but none offered more features at such a high quality level.

These were Dream Stoves of mine; I was too young to buy them and put them away for my future or I would have. They made two models: one with the butter burner (well spotted, Greg) and one with 3 6-inch burners, only one 8-inch burner and an electric griddle/grill. They had wonderful big wide ovens and matched the Thermador wall ovens at the time. Kills me when I think what we had back then and can't understand why we can't have them now.
Julia Child had the 7 burner cooktop with the butter burner and I would trade ANYTHING made today for one of those cooktops.Unfortunately Thermador replacement parts always cost 4 times what other brands charged. This brochure gives you the Slide-in stoves (plus one with a ceramic burner top)and gives you an idea of the range of cooktop styles but is too late for Julia's 7-burner model: |

has a "Precise Simmer" tm burner. It won't burn a dollar bill until it is on a long time. |
