Wooden spoons are unsanitary.

You're not concerns about leaching, especially with them going in the dishwasher?

I still use my mom’s bread machine from the 90s all the time.

The 4 sided metal grater. It’s at least 30 years old and definitely didn’t cost very much. The jar opener by OXO is at least 20 years old, and gets used almost daily.

A tiny whisk — like the size of two index fingers. It looks like a toy, but it’s incredibly useful. It’s easier to use and easier to clean than a full-sized quick.

I also use my manual eggbeaters with the hand crank surprisingly often.


I have the same one and it’s probably just as old. Also use my cast iron pan daily.

OXO peeler - it's old, the handle metal finish has peeled, but works MUCH better than any newer ones I bought trying to replace it.
A tiny, 3-inch grater that I use to grate garlic several times a week. My garlic press is gathering dust.

As I cooked tonight, I was struck by how often I still use my 50s-era Juice King citrus juicer. It's one of those chrome beasts that has a hand lever. With all the fancy implements in my kitchen, I still rely on this workhorse.

How about you?
