@rotuts, that's a fine suggestion and I thank you for it. I just opened it up and plugged it in. It started warming up, and judging by the smell I'd say it's never been used! Reminds me of the smell of a clothes iron (remember those?) heating up. I played around with the controls a bit, then read the instructions.

 

 

The instructions say clearly that the metal cover gets very hot, and not to touch it until it cools down! I looked at the wooden cutting board holding the panini press...and turned it off. I'll use it atop a less scorchable surface.

 

All the instructions as well as the cleaning tool came with it. I especially like the instruction book, which has operating instructions at the front end and, if you flip it over, recipes at the back end.

 

 

 

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I also spotted and purchased these canning springs. $0.50 for the pair! I'll post more about them in the Preservation topic, when I get around to using them.

I have the same one and can attest to the metal cover getting hot. Mine still has traces of a bread bag left to close...

Picked this up at a yard sale last weekend that I stopped by on a whim. Gratin dish, copper bottom, brass handles and unknown lining. There aren't any manufacturer's markings. $2 Cdn.

Stopped by the thrift store at my mom's retirement community and picked up a few things.

 

This fun glass platter for $4. I think that it is for deviled eggs and that is my plan for it.

 

Two vintage CorningWare pieces for $6 each.

@curls, those are great thrift store finds! I remember that sort of deviled egg platter from my childhood. Well-appointed households had them and they featured heavily in parties and picnics. I'm glad you're giving new life to one. As for that Corningware -- perfect!
