How American Kitchens Have Changed Over the Years

1927 – Refrigerators Were Introduced

Refrigerators were invented in 1911. Unfortunately, many Americans relied on an icebox, which kept perishable food items chilled using large blocks of ice.

But by 1927, kitchens started incorporating luxury electrical appliances like refrigerators, but kept electrical devices like toasters limited to the dining room. Another notable change towards the end of the 1920s was that built-in sinks had become the norm and Americans switched to gas ranges.
