Tappan Microwave Oven
For The Love of Cooking
When it comes to buying a microwave oven, most consumers opt for the lowest price. This is ideal, but how would you like to buy from the brand that revolutionized microwave ovens? If so, meet Tappan.
The history of Tappan appliances is a long one that dates back to 1881. Originally founded in Ohio as the Ohio Valley Foundry Company, founder W.J. Tappan got his start by selling cast-iron stoves. These sales were made door-to-door from a wagon drawn by horses!
Throughout the years, the company founded by W.J. Tappan underwent numerous name changes; they were once known as the Eclipse Stove Company and now the Tappan Stove Company. Tappan is not only known for their well-built microwave ovens, but this company conquered many firsts in the home appliance industry.
In the 1920’s, they produced the first all-porcelain ranges that were available in different colors. In the 1960’s, they were the first to use an electric ignition for gas stove ranges.
Most importantly, in 1955, Tappan changed the way that we cook; they introduced the first microwave oven designed for at-home use. Their first design was a standard forty-inch range or for built-in use, the unit had a stainless-steel exterior and aluminum oven cavity with a glass shelf. The oven featured two cooking speeds (500 or 800 watts), a browning element, timer, and a recipe-card file drawer. It retailed for $1,295. The unit was marketed as an "electric range." Its advertised advantages were cooking speed, a cool oven, and a unique reheating capability.
