[@melissasaint3283]

Do you see, at 6:45, the way the pan of potatoes is sitting right inside the range? That was a common feature of the first couple decades of electric stoves that was called a "Deep Well Cooker"...it was literally a pot-shaped well sunken into the rangetop, with thickly insulated walls, and the heating coil at the bottom, And came with a covered pot that fit perfectly into it, with little raised handles. Some conpanies offered extra pots with metal dividers, meant to hold more than one kind of vegetable, etc. The Deep Well had multiple purposes: you could use it for deep frying or boiling, and it was more secure than having a pan sitting on top of the range.... No pan handles sticking off the side, and it couldn't accidentally be knocked over! Helpful for the busy mother of young children. It was also meant to be more efficient: you could set it on very low and use it like a crockpot, or set it on high for rapid cooking. Last but nor least, because it was so well insulated, it was perfect for preparing meals in summertime without heating your whole kitchen too much. (Considering this was when very few homes had any kind of air conditioning, that would have been a boon, and even now, would save a lot of energy) You could have a cut of meat and veggies packed in there, cook everything up on low heat, and then, after dishing the meal out onto your servingware, fill the pot with cold water to absorb the heat from the pan. Unfortunately, if stuff spilled, they xoyuld be a bit difficult to clean from what I understand, and the very large families of the 50s and 60s often meant people would rather have another coil because rheu were making big portions of everything. They're a pretty cool historical detail, though. When growing up, I partly learned to cook from a very old paperback cookbook for housewives using "the new electric kitchen!" and they explained it, and had whole meal plans that incorporated it and showed you how to use it in various ways.

When we moved into our first home (1950's track home) that same electric stove was sitting in the garage covered by a sheet. We cleaned it up, looked good as new and worked perfectly. We used it for the years we lived there. When we sold the house the couple moving in asked to buy it but we just let them have it. We became good friends and 20 years later they still have the stove. Works perfectly. Talk about quality.

[@drakynoch]

I've been told by repairmen of the day that they built appliances to last a life time. Every component was made to be replaced or repaired so the whole unit didn't need to go into the dump. We Americans used to take pride in long-lasting and reliable products. Alas. That's all over now.

[@DominicNJ73]

After my parents passed away I took over their 1950s house (I took it over in 1998 when mom died) and the house still had the original stove (the one pictured in this video, minus the boiling pot inset), I just replaced the stove in 2016 when I could no longer get the oven heating element anymore.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy videos of kitchens from the past.

Один фрагмент шокирует... Посуда моется с добавлением химикатов, но в последствии совсем не ополаскивается.

@@АртемДанилов-ъ4гвполне возможно что сначала мыли в мыльной воде, убирали на сушилку, а потом, когда все помыто, ополаскивали водой. Никто не мыл посуду под проточной водой как в ссср, потому что за воду платили

One of the reasons why modern kitchens are so different than this is because far less scratch cooking is done - now we use a lot of semi prepared foods that mostly require a little mixing and maybe 15-20 minutes or less of heating.

[@julietfischer5056]

A lot of people no longer have the time to properly cook. Maybe on the weekend, but who wants to spend their days off preparing meals for the week? It's rather a shame, too. For medical reasons, I have to do my own food prep and cooking, and there are some nifty recipes available. Using prepackaged stuff means missing out on unique, tasty meals.

[@monagalinski4558]

This is fabulous. I would love this kitchen. Beautiful planning.

[@katchewy2469]

I want that kitchen!!! The storage and cabinetry are amazing. The corner turn cabinets, and the pull down bins especially.

[@anastasia10017]

I wish that I had a kitchen like that. I have never had as nice a kitchen as this one in the video. The counter garbage hatch is brilliant and I like the sunken boiling water thing on the stove.

[@queensuzanna1031]

Definitely🎉

[@wolfmangoland7972]

This kitchen design is far better design than a modern kitchen. Why modern kitchens don't have an option to have these features. I think they are brilliant.

[@Raphael-2]

I haven't enjoyed a video this much in some time ! The features are so clever, it makes my kitchen look ridiculously unelaborate. I can't believe how simple it looks yet so smart and efficient.

[@izzydeadyet7336]

I like how much the narrator refers to this as work! These days house mothers are treated like non job having trash!

[@kimmattingly5395]

I noticed that too!

[@joshuathered1100]

Only liberals and progressives call house mothers those things

[@kellymoorewith4]

That’s exactly how my ex husband feels and what he’s teaching our oldest sons. It’s very sad!!

[@longislandfoodtastic]

We need to bring this kitchen back, I'm all for it!

[@gillianbrookwell1678]

1949 was still known as the 20th Century, not the19th; I was born in 1949 and looking at this kitchen, it was much better equipped than my mother's or my Grandma's kitchen. I was born in the UK and we didn't own a refrigerator, only a pantry to keep food cold. We never came down with food poisoning. My mother bought produce daily so it was always fresh, and we didn't have a telephone in the house, nor did we have a car. We travelled everywhere by bus or tram and had a happy life.

[@TeaGirlMedium0]

Why did we stop doing this? I am going to reorganize my kitchen. I would keep some of that stuff in sealed bags but the location and storage ideas are great.

[@KimberlyS7997]

This is the kind of kitchen I need! So organized with all the built ins. Making good use of the whole space.

[@anastasiakosmidou5186]

Всё новое, это хорошо забытое старое. Отличная кухня! Всё продумано. Сейчас есть все эти придумки, но не в одеой кухне сразу.

For everyone worried about rinsing the dishes....it wasn't shown, but they were rinsed. The narrator said they were scalded and dried. That is when boiling water is poured over them, both rinsing them and sanitizing them. Some people chose to let them air dry, some would dry them with a clean towel.

[@bonkers5016]

I caught that as well! I kept wondering if she was going to rinse them...and then they said she did!!!

[@jadedone6900]

What a pain in the ass that must have been. So she had to have a pot of boiling water on the stove to pour over the dishes in the rack... splashing scalding water everywhere and probably had to do the dishes in batches. No wonder they didn't film that scene.

[@bonkers5016]

Regardless, beautiful kitchen in its day and today as well

The garbage hatch is heavenly 😍

[@mjhunter502]

This fascinating kitchen layout is so well thought-out and efficient. Wow.

[@theresaandrade8261]

I like the potato cutting and cooking stations. The built in trash slot in the counter is nice as well. The towel drying rack is great too. Cool dry ingredient storage above the stove area as well....damn I want this kitchen.

[@claudiameier666]

I have watched this before. I love this kitchen.

[@brezzainvernale]

Wow, better then the kitchen nowadays! I really miss the second sink

[@StephenMatlock]

I love so much about this. I think that we could accommodate a lot of these ideas in modern cabinetry to be sure that insects, dust, and mold don't attack food. But I gotta say, I think that deep well steamer/cooker *in* the stovetop is genius. Keeps having to have an extra pot around. It's hard to look at the fit and finish here. This is a test kitchen, so perhaps they weren't so concerned to make sure that cuts were even and that things fit well. But all that tacked-on metal edging looks so cheap - and so many of the interior corners with that design would be just about impossible to keep clean. All in all - I think this could be fitted into a modern kitchen using modern concepts of sanitation and ease of cleaning. Great ideas for efficiency for a small kitchen with one person doing the work.

[@alexshadowfax1119]

I still have a 1962 KitchenAid mixer that I use for all my baking, I found it in our church basement and I was able to keep it, it weighs a ton but still works great, modern attachments actually fit it as well so I bought a whisk and dough hook.

[@ms.pirate]

I WANT THIS!!! if I had a house, I want extra money just too have a redue kitchen to be as practical as this!

[@jonibright2158]

I would give anything to have a kitchen like that! I have many medical issues that prevent me from lifting and bending and this design is excellent for those who need many things easily accessible. Well done and practical! ❤

[@susefink6099]

I must say,this kitchen is very good. It does have very useful cupboards,drawers,cupboard doors,etc. I love it,i would really love to have a kitchen like that.

[@АнтонБатон-д8к]

Good old beautiful times...

[@pegatheetoo1437]

Everything was so much better organized and convenient than what's offered today. Now it seems like everyone is more concerned with how modern it looks than how practical it is. The only problem with those great cabinets back then was that they would easily rust. But today, we could fix that issue. Bring those wonderful kitchens back! 😅

[@oahkcvn5524]

Очень удобная кухня, эти шкафчики так практичны.
