I’m a bit foggy on how steaks and pork chops were broiled a hundred years ago, but the price of a Dundee Broiler is right. At just $3.50, I want one.

Sort of looks like my grill pan, with a well around the outside to catch the grease. Not sure what they did before either!
It does look like a grill pan, and appears to be used on top of the stove rather than under a flame.
The way it is shown on top of the stove is what I found really confusing. If used on the top of the stove, it seems like it won’t brown meat or cook the food very quickly with the air space between the top and bottom layers of the pan. Maybe it is actually put in an oven when used, and just set on the top of the stove where it might be set when putting the food onto the broiler.
It definity has some similarities to modern grill pans.
I’m not an expert, but I don’t know how it doesn’t smoke or drip.
hmmm. . . I don’t know either. But it sounds good in the ad.
Amazingly inexpensive, but I like these days where women are not assumed to be housewives. Fun post, Sheryl.
Agree – some things are definitely better today. In some ways, it’s hard to believe how different the typical role of women was a hundred years ago.
Hehe! I don’t think it is exactly as advertised… There has to be smoke!
You can’t be sure. Maybe this was an incredible product that miraculously didn’t result in smoke when broiling. 🙂
I laughed that you were thrilled with the price. I would be, too.
Maybe I should I’ve considered all the inflation that’s occurred over the past hundred years, but I just went with the stated price when I wrote this post. 🙂
Not just the price, it has the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval!!!
You can’t beat that. 🙂 People put a lot of faith in the Good Housekeeping seal back in the day.
