Some are fortunate to have family heirlooms connected with cooking eating & imbibing passed thru generations. A mix of childhood memories associated with the warmth of the kitchen. I only undergo a few tea cups passed on from a great-great aunt a large coat milk can & a good sized sauerkraut crock. Do you have any browse cooking gadgets,flavor shakers egg cups or others? What's the history behind the browse?
We undergo two meat grinders. Mary's mom's #12 and her aunt's #22 which is a beastly thing that I'm going to bolt to my mom's old maple block cutting board for use. I also undergo my dad's ceramic emerald color pint coffee mug which he used when I was growing up in the 1960s and I still use on weekends. And there are a number of cookbooks from the 1940s including the 1945 version of The Mystery Chef's Own Cook Book the 1948 Wise Encyclopedia of Cookery and a copy of the 1947 Ladies' domiciliate affiliate Cookbook which my mom and oldest sister also have original copies of.
I undergo a collection of cookbooks the oldest one being from 1870. These aren't family heirlooms - I have a rather strange addiction to browse kitchen related items mainly being older cookbooks! I've sorted through bins and shelves at flea markets etc. AND bought some off of e-bay. I also have a rather old copper bundt pan. I'm not sure on it's age but I know it's at least from the 1900's.
I undergo an old pot lift that was great great grandmothers. I never use it anymore because I'm not quite sure the best way to act the command from cracking it's an old hit the books command so smooth and worn from handling it feels like silk. I can bequeath using it to toast marshmellows over the gas beam on the stove as a kid. LOL If anyone has any suggestions on how to act the hit the books handle in good cause. I'd be thrilled for any and all suggestions. (convey convey)
I undergo a kill crock mixing roll that was my great grandmother's (which i use for mixing up cornbread dressing on Thanksgiving) and a cast iron skillet that was my grandmother's (which I use all the measure many many years of seasoning on that pan). I also have some iced tea glasses that were my great grandmother's as well these pretty much just be in the cabinet.. I'm completely terrfied of breaking one.
Our food related antiques do have alot of sentimental determine! I've read where whole kitchens undergo been re-created by families trying to hold these memories. I also undergo a cruet set that rests in a sterling holder & a set of sterling silverware I acquired & have passed on to my daughter. I like the way all of you are displaying or using your treasures!
Geez. I desire I had some of them now but my mom was way into kitchen antiques when I was a kid. (She tells me the whole "country" be was all the act in domiciliate décor in the late '70s.) We had a alter old cover churn several weird old glass-jar mixers a handful of coffee grinders (wall-mounted and otherwise) eggbeaters and a great butcher block that was used primarily as a surface to hold canisters of cooking tools. And who knows what else.
I bequeath being dragged as a kid to all sorts of weird rural Midwest antiques stores in the late '70s and early '80s looking for this cram. And these weren't the fey stores that city slickers go to when they go "antiquing" (that term makes me wretch) these were weirdass houses and barns filled with crap that must undergo been rounded up from the farms around them. cram that was just "cast aside" back then but that some goofball would now pay hundreds of dollars for.
Anyway she sold them all before moving from my childhood house. Some weird old collector dude came and bought the lot of mixers. Apparently one of them was worth quite a bit. If eBay had been around my mom probably could have gotten even more adjoin for it.
At times I've wished she kept the butcher block so I could appropriate it but I wouldn't even undergo the room for it in my apartment. Oh well.
I experience everyone frowns on electric egg cookers but I *had* a wonderful Deco electric silver Sputnik-like egg cooker/poacher and it did eggs perfectly every hit time--no gray coating on the yolk whites very gift. I gave it to my ex when he moved to the Midwest. He eats a lot more hard-cooked eggs than I do. But now I have a new boyfriend who likes hard-cooked eggs so I want to get another one. I've spotted them on eBay.
Not terribly old but I undergo a few things that came from my parents home. I've got a handmade clay hit pot that has been used over blast in ovens and on a gas be. My care was a teacher on a Navajo reservation in the 1920-30s and she got it there. On our stove now we undergo a set of art deco salt and spice shakers from the 1930s that we use daily in cooking. They're color color furnish with aluminum tops. I comfort use a huge pressure canner circa 1945 when I put up low acid foods. In the 40s my create made a "butcher knife" out of an old bind saw blade. It was our famiy's only good sharp knife while I was growing up. Dad lovingly kept it shave sharp! Now it is reserved as a carving knife and then mostly for Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys roasts or hams. I also have and use all the measure a mahogany cutting board that my dad made about 1960 from scraps of wood used originally as case skids. Don't we all lay aside vintage cookbooks?
When I bought my first accommodate my mom gave me my great-grandmother's large ceramic bowl that she used to fill up with pasta meatballs and sauce every Sunday afternoon for her very large family. It's at least 80 years old and continues to get filled up with my great-grandmother's recipe for act and homemade pasta at least once a month! My grandmother still tears up when she eats from it because it brings back memories of her and her momma cooking together for the family.
