Yikes that’s filthy
Popcorn machine from 1978 still going strong after being fixed and repaired by me three times now. I bought one new modern popcorn machine because it was on sale … it burnt out in two months and the built in electronics were designed to never be fixed. The old 1978 unit is basically just a blower motor operated by switch, controlled by a simple thermostat attached to a heating coil … every part is easily accessible and can be fixed … all of it easily repairable, fixable and parts replaceable.
Most of my mom’s cookware is ceramic with that design on it
I have no idea where she got it, but I have a feeling she would say “wedding gift”
They were married in 1975
I remember some things with that pattern from my youth
Corning re-released the pattern at some point
Good ol’ GE, such a quirky product line: coffee makers, jet engines, alarm clocks, gatling guns, washing machines, and nuclear power plants.
Well, if you can make a washing machine, you can make a nuclear power plant.
I’m pretty sure that pot predates that machine. Nice.
And we had both!
Oh, we had one of these. It damn near caught the kitchen on fire one day about a decade ago.
I want to see the inside of that bad boy.
I think there is a recall on some of those pots because the handle can fall off.
Edit: It’s corningware percolators.
Yep, corningware. Decent glassware, plentiful in thrift stores.
The GE heater would fail on these and catch the whole house on fire.
My grandparents had the exact same coffee maker / pot combo.
Love that carafe.

I’m as old as that thing.
Holy shit this is what my technoworm is based off of?
