Other serving and accessory pieces may be available, complete (or start) your pattern today! International Silver started as a combination of 14 of America's greatest silver manufacturers. During the Colonial period, the predominant form of silverware was pewter. In 1847, Rogers Brothers introduced a line of "electroplated" silver pieces. The formula for producing a durable, plated flatware had taken many years to perfect. Meriden Britannia and Rogers Brothers, decided that it would be to the advantage of all to organize a cartel of silverware manufacturers and to share industry secrets and in 1898, 14 silver producers merged into one corporation. The merger of 1898 proved to be efficient and successful. But it wasn't until 1939-1940, when International Silver introduced the Joan of Arc and Prelude lines that the company's sales began to increase. In 1968, International Silver was absorbed into the Insilco holding company. In 1976, the making of sterling hollowware was completely discontinued and International Silver's plated hollowware division was sold to Onieda. Both Wallace and International are now owned by the Syratech corporation. Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket. Choosing Appliance -> Ovens Most avid bakers prefer separate, even-heat double electric ovens. If that describes you - and you have the space - be sure one of the ovens is equipped with a broiler that provides at least 3,000 watts of cooking power. Also look for racks that pull all the way out and lock in place for safe, easy access to the oven. On the inside, a dark interior shows less baked-on grime, while a porcelain interior is easier to clean International Silver Joan of Arc Hostess Helper Punch Ladle Useful info -> Hobs Hobs are becoming a style point in modern kitchens, and accordingly available in all colours, stainless steel and interesting designs. Wide hobs, multi-fuels (electric and gas) and five or six ring burners offer flexibility but consider your usage before choosing - If your kitchen accommodates more than one cook at once, position the hob away from the oven, that way you don't get in each other's way. |
