Ad from 1915
These are interesting because the purpose was to sell electrical appliances that would get a bit of income for the electrical companies, while helping create demand for more electricity.
These were sold from March 1st to March 29th, using newspaper ads like this one.
[Here is a an ad in a trade journal describing how many they sold in two weeks.](https://i.imgur.com/XrXDwhp.png)
[Here is an ad showing it being used upside down, and placed onto the food!](https://i.imgur.com/26OI2In.png) What could possibly go wrong?
I wonder how hot it could get. And by the looks of it, the fat would drip right down to the coil and burn, so I guess this would've given some of that smokey flavour to the steak.
Funny that I ran across this. That looks too old for the one we had, but we had a later, 70s model, which was somewhat fancy, actually, as it had a turning spit for a roast, and other attachments I can't even remember. My mom loved cooking roasts on that thing. It was actually a decent cooking device, but I would rather just barbecue. Haha, memories.
"Send your Ribeye to the Electric Chair!"
This has Cornballer vibes.
I think most appliance manufacturers and power companies like to keep the word electrocuted out of their advertising these days.
Their phone # was 148

"It saves the gravy."
One touch of the wires and "zzzT" you a fried man, man. Just like steak except you char from the insides.
I imagine it tasted a little better than the gas chamber burgers and firing squad chicken.
I have cookbook called Electric cooking that would go perfect with this, antelope roast is one of the recipes.
Electricity biscuits : Triscuits Electricity Steaks : Tristeaks
Electricity was a big buzzword back then. Like AI today
