My oven is dying. I opened it tonight to take out my baked potato, and one spot on the element was glowing white hot.
I know what that means! It means that my 33-year-old, tract-house-special, Harvest Gold 1975 Roper electric oven is about to kick the proverbial bucket.
Anyone out there have a (newer) used electric stove they would like to trade for a really good gas dryer? Or even a little bit of money?
Because I can't cook a turkey in a toaster oven.
You might try Craig's List for trades. Tell the fambly all you want for Christmas is an oven that works!

If you start a fund, I'll send money. What a bummer!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Mgt! Not starting a fund!
ReplyDeleteNadine, thanks for the link. That store is about a block from the costume shop.
You may just need a new element. I've had to replace the ones in my 1952 electromatic.
ReplyDeleteNo luck at the parts site that came up in my search.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should ask at Lowe's...
You don't need to cook a turkey for Christmas ... I have a hayum.
ReplyDeleteIt's a HAYUM!!!
ReplyDeleteYay!
I wonder if I can make sausage cheese balls in a toaster oven...
Maybe I should bring something different...Misfit Devilled Eggs? Confetti Dip?
Hi Vero. For what it's worth, I use a toaster oven for just about everything. I find for one person, the reg. oven is just a waste of power. I do baked pot.s in the toaster oven.
ReplyDeleteOf course you need the reg. oven for chickens, turkeys, etc.
Let me know what you decide (by email) .. a donation can be willingly given.
I love you guys, but please don't think I'm looking for help getting a new oven, because I'm not. I'm just complaining. It's probably time for the old stove to go to the recycling center, and I will cope just fine.
ReplyDeleteBut thanks for the offers...
Well I was gonna suggest Craig's list,but I see Nadine beat me to it! lol
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I told you, but we got flooded last week and it got my washer and dryer! and a lot of aother stuff too,got caught with my pants down on that one! If it wasn't for James, Eric's youngest, I would have to go to the laundromat till spring! that boy I thought hated me apparently cared enough to take his dad out and buy me a brand new matched set of maytags! I was shocked to say the least. (we put them WAY up on blocks lol)
And I would have given you a good stove as I have an extra one here, but I live in CT! I hope you have luck in finding a good one. I know what it is like to not have a lot of money. sucks.
I am visualizing a new oven.
ReplyDeleteI am visualizing the dirt behind this one, that will become all too apparent when I do get a new one.
I will need a new vent-hood, too, as this one hasn't worked in years.
Ahhh ya, remembering the days when it was fashionable to have colored appliances - choices were harvest gold or avacado (ickk!). Then along came almond & black fronts.
ReplyDeleteWho knew that white wouldn't become extinct?
I didn't like stainless steel when they first appeared but have warmed up to them - I haven't gone whole hog but my smaller appliances are all stainless as is my garbage bin -- not sure why they are called stainless tho -- a bugger with fingerprints!
PS I hope your problem is solved but did you know that a gas barbecue bakes a mean bird?
