Joann Saladino and Marcus Weisgerber, from Long Island, New York, bought the General Electric appliance for $100 in 1979, although it was reportedly built in 1923.
They showed Inside Edition how it worked. "I've been cooking on it since the day I got it," Saladino said. The design was among the first line of automatic electric stoves produced by General Electric under the Hotpoint brand, which was born after Earl H. Richardson, a meter reader for the Ontario Power Company, found out how to introduce electricity into household appliances. Hotpoint started with electric irons before branching out to toasters, coffeepots, stoves, and more.
