BASIC was an early programming language that is still among the simplest and most popular of programming languages. BASIC stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.. Originally designed as an interactive mainframe timesharing language by John Kemeney and Thomas Kurtz in 1963, it became widely used on personal computers everywhere. On IBM's first family computer, the PCJr, a BASIC cartridge was a popular add-on.

Warming functions: My electric griddle sits in a frame, so there's some space underneath it that gets warm when the griddle is in use. We've utilized that space to warm plates or keep the first batches of food warm while the rest is cooking so we never have to turn on the oven.
