Sunbeam CG

Last updated

The Sunbeam CG waffle iron evolved from the Sunbeam Model W-1 and Model W-2 waffle irons of the 1940s.

Overview

Introduced in 1955, the CG maintained the inner workings of the W-2, but had sleek modern styling. The CG features removable plates, allowing the waffle plate to be removed so it can be replaced by a sandwich grilling plate. The sandwich grilling plates also allow the CG to be used as a griddle or hot plate, in effect having three appliances in one.

Clothes iron Tool or appliance for smoothing cloth using heat and pressure

A clothes iron is a small appliance that, when heated, is used to press clothes to remove creases. Domestic irons generally range in operating temperature from between 250 °F (121 °C) to 360 °F (182 °C). It is named for the metal (iron) of which the device was historically made, and the use of it is generally called ironing. Ironing works by loosening the ties between the long chains of molecules that exist in polymer fiber materials. With the heat and the weight of the ironing plate, the fibers are stretched and the fabric maintains its new shape when cool. Some materials, such as cotton, require the use of water to loosen the intermolecular bonds.
