I'm so glad I watched this. I have looked for years for a way to make my dinner parties extra special but always felt something was missing. I have Georgian silver candlesticks, hand cut lead crystal glasses and Limoges porcelain but it never felt quite right. Now I realise where I have been going wrong- I didn't think to put the toaster smack in the middle of the dining table.

I had an electric skillet that came in handy for even heating things up. At least this stuff wasn’t made in China and lasted for a long time, but I bet they’d trade it all in for a microwave oven that wasn’t even invented yet. I’m surprised they didn’t feature a dishwasher!

Actually, microwaves have been around since late 40's in commercial institutional and food processing establishments. The early 70s saw home microwaves but they were HUGE and HEAVY.

that ham looks picture perfect

You have gotta love that GE slicing knife with its high whine like a buzz saw.

This is wonderful history! Reminds! So much of our home. My Mom did this too since my Grandfather owned an appliance store.

It’s so polite for all the guests to be careful not to trip over the electrical cords and knock the food and appliances smack dab on the floor.

A truly elegant and gracious host would have the cords routed so no one trips

Just saw my GE electric knife that my mom got in the 60's and I inherited. Finally just went DOA a year ago 😢

They're all crowded around the table because the hosts can't afford to turn on the heat with sixteen appliances running at once.

I love the look of the 60s! Utterly captivated by the formality, the care to appearance and style. I wish I could have been around to see it! What I'm really glad I missed though was EVERYONE smoked! Cancer everywhere!

3:57 those slices were so thin, you could see the plate through them. C'mon, put some 🐷 on there! 😋

I always thought if I only had an electric carving knife life would be a dream. We sure cooked a lot of chicken in one of those electric skillets. This is making me hungry for some toast. What a bunch of Coffee hounds.

Nary an alcoholic beverage in sight. All that coffee would have me pinging off the walls at night

Bob bought me a griddle because I am not allowed out of the house by myself, I am glad my mother wasn’t anything like this

I have my mother’s high top skillet and it still works today along with the coffee urn. Sadly the electric knife died a couple of years ago.

Have one of those oldcoffe pots from my mom

I want these guests over. Not an ashtray,plate,party cup,or beer can to be seen. They cleaned up nice before they left. Hope the Hostess gets her Tupperware back.

I remember when the rage color scheme was Brady Bunch avacado green or harvest gold and there was a red one too. Very Formica. My mother liked it but my father always said it was a joke as in, what's wrong with white? I tried to buy them stuff as gifts like an electric percolator that could sit on the table but they never ever used it. My father liked his beat-up old tin can thing on the stove. He hated anything like that. Knives, blow driers, shavers. Don't even mention fondue. I even got him one of those foot massager bath things that were popular and he never plugged it in either.

In the 60s, appliance companies sponsored cooking classes in conjunction with utility companies--- electric appliances were with electric companies, gas appliances were promoted by gas companies. Ladies would go to cooking demonstrations at the local utility company's showrooms where these types of films were shown. They even gave away door prizes, and my aunt actually won a gas stove in the 50s! But, can you imagine that nowadays??? Going to electric company for cooking class and a "soft sell"!!!!!

That rotisserie oven is very similar to the supposedly new turbo ovens of today?

Gotta find the electric knife. Is this an AA meeting?

Don't they have to plug everything in where the plugs😮

Who's going to clean all those appliances now? Pots and pans are easier to clean.

1950s appliance porn

" the juices from the meat flavor the vegetables below " The veggies got soaked in beef fat

ut where did they put all the cables of those objects? and the smell of cooking that permeated the ladies' toilets? let's also add the smell of cigarettes, smoke and men's perfumes and aftershaves... how did you breathe????

Who. WHO places a rotisserie oven on the table in the sitting room when entertaining guests? Or a toaster, come to that? That sure was a dull party. All they talked about was electrical appliances.
