Then there is the chafing dish set. I have seen these sets and their pieces being auctioned on ebay all the time. But this is the full set. It comes with a stand with for gel fuel and a snuffer to put the flame out. there is a holder with an indentation that sits in the ring, this holder has no handles and the frying pan sits easily inside the holder. I believe that the holder was meant to hold steaming water. The lid has a pie edge. This set also came with bowl and an additional lid.
notice how flat the ring is that holds the bowl and frying pan
The frying pan(omlet pan?) fits nicely into the holder.
notice the rubber feet on the underside of the stand,
A recent surprise was this food warmer below. Rodney Kent # 495. This is a much smaller glass liner and stand. I'm sure that this originally came with a candle much like #475, but I don't own it.
compare the size of the #495 on the right with the 475 on the left.
This is the sticker inside the original bowl, which never made it through shipment. It is from Federal Glass Co. and their mixing bowls are easily found on EBay. This one takes the 7" size. They come 5"-8"
Another food warmer with a divided Pyrex bowl. This too took gel fuel and had a snuffer. This was a new type of lid, one that fit inside the bowl and the bowl had no handles
This is the matching casserole server.
Finally, the #475 holder with a pyrex liner especially made for Russakov Department store
So much for food warmers......... I'm sure I haven't covered all of them. After all I only discovered #495 this past summer.
My feeling is if Continental Silverlook Co. offered a type of bowl, so must have Rodney Kent. I expect one day to see a coffee pot, A reader, Donna Whitely, sent me photographs of a Serving platter with a tree well. Recently I saw one from Continental.Below are Donna's photos
No doubt they are Rodney Kent. You never know what I'll come across next to share with you.
Next time we'll do kitchen utility sets.
