The gold one is similar to the white one that Mr. McLendon in the midwest has. | ||

Oh, for pity's sake!@!! Why were convenience outlets banned? Or, I guess the question should be: what rationale did the US hystericals society use to get convenience outlets on stoves banned?
We are the most ridiculously risk-averse people on planet Earth.
I've always loved the JP 757; I think it was GE's finest 30" stove. We had the double-oven version of it and although it was a great stove and we loved the upper oven, the cooktop was cramped by having that little oven right where your head should be. And, yes, it had two convenience outlets and they were great for small appliances like coffee pots and toaster ovens and they never caused any problems. | ||

Why Outlets Disappeared On Ranges The appliance manufactures got together with UL and got outlets removed from gas & electric ranges, This was a win-win for appliance manufactures as it saved them money and reduced warranty repair costs as well as liability from users who melted cords on hot burners and were injured.
A lot of people also plunged in defective appliances that had voltage leaks etc and when they got shocked touching the range they tried to blame the range manufacturer, I once saw the amount of money that GE saved the first year the outlets were gone and it was not pocket change.

The ranges were grounded, unlike a counter top, so if you have a short in a small appliance and have it resting on the stovetop, the stovetop will become live and you will get a tingle or a jolt if you touch it. | ||
