Everyone had him at home in the Polish People’s Republic. Today is worth a fortune

In the times of the Polish People’s Republic, Prodiż was an integral part of any kitchen. This compact stove was replaced by large stoves and allowed baking cakes, meats or pates.
Today, despite the availability of modern ovens, Prodiż still has a faithful group of fans. What’s more, its value on the collector’s market is growing, and unused copies can cost up to several hundred zlotys.
Prodiż. What is that?
Prodiż is a small baking device that was very popular in the PRL. It consisted of an aluminum body, a lid made of tempered glass and a built -in heater. Thanks to it, you could prepare crunchy bread, aromatic meats or fluffy pastries. Its biggest advantage was mobility – it did not require a traditional oven or gas, it was enough to connect it to the power supply.
Why is Prodiż returning to favor?
Although technologically advanced ovens reign in the kitchens, many people return to classic baking methods. Prodiż is valued for its simplicity, energy saving and reliability. In addition, for lovers of retro kitchen gadgets it is a unique decorative element.
How much does the prodiż cost?
If you have an old prodiż at home, it is worth checking its condition – it may turn out to be a real treasure! At online auctions, the prices of used models start from PLN 100-200, but well-preserved or unused copies can reach up to PLN 800. From year to year, interest in this equipment is growing, and availability decreases, which conquers its price.
Where to sell a prodig from the PRL?
If you want to sell your prodiż, it is worth checking the auction platforms, such as Allegro, Olx or Vinted. You can also join the collector’s groups on Facebook, where retro enthusiasts are happy to buy original copies.
Is it worth keeping the prodiż?
