Forget Epicurious, the Food Network and Rachael Ray's new iPhone app. My vintage Wedgewood stove is a sure-fire cooking reference with about 70-odd years experience. No need to laminate this kitchen guide -- it's right there on the inside of the oven door. It's a little faded and blurry but you can still read it, even after decades of Thanksgiving dinners and birthday cakes. Hey, where else can you get the definitive answer for how long to cook well-larded veal? (Answer: 35 minutes per pound at 325 degrees. Take that, Jamie Oliver!)

Now You're Cooking

Hhow nice to have this cooking guide etched inside your oven door. I love your antique stove.
That's funny! I had no idea stoves had recipes inside. My old Magic Chef doesn't, but maybe I need to look harder. "Man dies while looking for recipe in gas oven." Maybe these were secret codes used during WWI or WWII.
I like DJ's "I love your antique stove." Sounds like the start of a song: "I love your antique stove, and your burners ain't bad either. Let me fry on your griddle..."
WV: mastra. Mastra the art of cooking.
HAHAHAHAHAHA That is a hoot. I didn't even know the brande Wedgewood, other than pottery. If you whip me up an angel food cake, I'll eat it. :)
Just saw Mr. Earl's lyrics!! I love it. Just grab a piano player and you've got a jazz ditty ready to be sung.
As the Doors said, "Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen. Warm my mind near your gentle stove."
must have a similar model (except mine isn't so readable)
I have a turkey roaster that has the same thing...I love those old stoves!!! I love having two smaller ovens...and the directions on how to cook things!!!
wv: notshert...I'm notshert my comment got posted...
I had said something about the timing being right for corn bread.
I like the way it looks like one of those amber monochrome computer screens that we had back in the 80s! Wordstar! Basic!
Mr Earl
