Maytag Dutch Oven "George" 40 1/4"
Maytag Dutch Oven "George" 40 1/4"
Meet "George", our Jetson-ish Maytag Dutch Oven. "Jane" (his wife, as you may recall from the Hanna-Barbara animated TV series), is the name we've given to pretty much the same Maytag Dutch Oven seen next to this listing (see more detailed description there).
The differences are: this one has enameled cabinet interiors and an incandescent surface light, plus, a small, unique and intriguing feature: at the top surface of the left storage door is a viewing port. By slightly opening the door, one can look down into the port and monitor the deepwell's flame while turning it's dial to adjust it, due to a mirror in the door reflecting the flame's image. Wow! Talk about attention to detail. That's why we LOVE vintage stoves, and that's why we especially love this Maytag.
In very excellent "as found" condition.
Dimensions are W: just under 40.25" x H: 36" to cooktop surface (46" to top of dials on backsplash) x D: 25" back to front of door panels.
*Match-lite oven. We can install an auto-lighting standing pilot oven safety system at extra cost.
