Рецепт Microwaves and Madness - My Microwave Browning Skillet Collection
I never use the nuke-u-lator, simply because I don't believe in subjecting my food to a form of energy that is blessedly blocked by our sweet Mother Earth. If anything was suppose to be subjected to microwave energy, then the Magnetic field around the planet would be absent. It's just darned unnatural. I'm just sayin'
That, of course, does not stop me from collecting the Corning Ware microwave browning skillets. Thus far, I have been fairly picky about what goes in the collection. I have a tendency towards the smaller P-series handled MW-8s instead of the larger MW-10s, whenever possible. Why, you may ask? It's simple really, the MW-10 pieces will not fit in my Microwave. So, even though I do not use my Microwave, it just seems silly to collect something that I can never use, even though I will never use it anyway... Does that make sense? Probably not. Aren't you glad you're not inside my head? It does get quite noisy in there sometimes.
Anyway......... This is my collection thus far.
But it's nice to have records of designs made for specific microwave manufacturers as well as for department stores like Mongomery Ward and Sears, Roebuck & Co. I am still looking for a J.C. Penney one, but I'm not sure whether it exists or not.
Below... EKG or Radio Wave/Microwave design MW-8 (with P-9-C) in both Blue and Black.
These are not specific to any one company or department store and simply state "Microwave Brown N' Sear" on the bottom.
Blue Scroll/Filigree MW-10 (with P-10-C lid) in Blue Filigree Medallion (I have not found an 8 inch skillet in this pattern yet)
Department Store pieces.....
Sears, Roebuck & Co. Roebuck MW-8 with P-9-C lid (also available in MW-10, MW-16 and MW-A-10)
Montgomery Ward MW-8 with P-9-C lid (also available in MW-10 and MW-A-10)...
Microwave Manufacturer specific pieces
The Amana Radarange... MW-10 with P-10-C lid (bottom) and MW-83 with P-83-C lid (top). This pattern was also available as an A-series piece (MW-A-10)
This pattern was a recurring theme for Amana... Western Stoneware was contracted by Amana to produce a "Country Cooker" earthenware Microwave crock with the same pattern (though in brown)
Norelco MW-16 with P-12-C lid (and here I thought Norelco only made Electric Shavers?)
This is the largest patterned piece that I have found so far. It's equivalent to the P-16-B/P-22 -B Electromatic Skillet.
Litton (I have no idea what the model number is of this piece). Sadly, this piece does not appear in the group photo above as I could not seem to find it.
Where is your Corning Ware??
