Well, the day has come. My trusty, but not so glamorous, Magic Chef slide in range circa 1980 is making its final sunny side up this morning. The Magic Chef and I first met up purchasing our home in 2003.
The entire house was vintage, mint condition seventies inspired house, which I slowly updated room by room and surface by surface. One of the last remaining bastions of the old guard was Magic Chef. I thought for certain that when we purchased the house, it would soon make its final meal. To my delight and sometimes dismay, it kept right on cooking. Brett, my husband, did have to replace the oven thermostat in 2005 and recently I have been cooking on only two burners. What happened to the other two you ask. Well, they work. Unfortunately, cooking often, not always, but often requires some temperature control. These two burners had lost their ability to cooperate with the control handles and pretty much when from off, to really low, to nuclear with out any justification. This made cooking somewhat challenging.
With impending company and the siren of Fourth of July appliance sales, I broke down and bought a new stainless range with double oven. Yippee. Here is the link.

He's a beauty, no? I hope to have him delivered today while I am at work, and I hope to cook my first meal on him tonight. Wish me luck.
