1811.0. "Electric Fry Pan source?" by CSG001::MILLER (Vox clamantis in deserto.) Fri Jun 09 1989 15:30

    The first note I wrote in this conference resulted in some good
    and useful information. Let me see if I can go 2 for 2.
    
    My mother has an electric frypan that is huge and indestructible.
    It measures about 18" long, 12" wide, and 12" high with the top.
    The NONSTICK surface cannot be scratched. She uses metal utensils
    all the time. She's had it for at least 5 years now and it is just
    as good as new.
    
    I asked her where she got it....it was a gift from a person who
    got it in one of those home demos....very expensive...
    Now....where can I get one? There's very few identifying marks on
    the pan. 
    On the bottom it says in one place "LEKTRO MAID" and another place
    is "Miracle Maid  West Bend"
    
    Can you lead me to a possible supplier?

    I would call West Bend.  Years ago (maybe 20), my sister and her
    husband sold Miracle Maid pots and pans.  I helped out at the home
    demos.  The host/hostess would invite 4-6 couples over for dinner 
    and my sister and her husband would prepare dinner using the various 
    MM products from West Bend.  I remember it being almost like a 
    magic show.  They would cook carrots, cabbage and yams in some of
    the pots (all without any water being used) and then after the veggies
    were served, a delicious cake was baked in one of the pans using
    the juice from the veggies.  It was delicious!
    
    I haven't even thought about Miracle Maid for years, but I would
    definately put down the money for their product if I was in the
    market for cookware.

    Re: Last couple-- West Bend still makes a "Stainless Steel" Minimum
    water cookware called "Permanent" They are *BIG* here in the west with a
    warehouse and distribution center in a suburb of Denver:
    
                           Continental Enterprises of Denver Inc.  
                           8011 I70 Frontage Rd N.
                           Arvada,Co. 80002        
                           Ph:(303) 423-8300           
    
                                 
                                                                     
    They still sell by home demos (MAGIC) mentioned above. I have a
    set of the stainless ware that I bought 15 years ago and I just
    had some knobs replaced "FREE" under their lifetime gauarantee..
