AIBU to ask what’s the oldest appliance / utensil you still use regularly?

My husband's parents have a large, heavy solid silver spoon that they use for feeding their dog. They use it to scoop out the food from the tin.😱
It dates back to the late 1800's and is scratched and bent beyond redemption, but has provided excellent service for at least the last 50 years - they have had several dogs over this period and it has been used when feeding every single one of them, on a daily basis.

I’ve got that whisk! Also my Mum’s kitchen scales which were a wedding present in 1958. Christmas decorations that my great great Grandmother brought over from Germany in the late 1800s. Also some of her glasses that come out at Christmas (Champagne “bowls”).

My grandmothers singer sewing machine. It’s from 1923 and great condition. She was teenage seamstress in 1920s London house of Elliott style. I have fairly basic level of skill so don’t need anything more fancy.

DM has Aga branded saucepan that belonged to her grandmother. DM is nearly 82!! Those pans must be well over 100.

My Granny’s teak bread board. She was born in 19th century but I’m not sure how old it is

I have china, cutlery, furniture, tablecloths etc. which have been handed down through the generations so I don't count those.

I also have a mechanical hand mixer/whisk thingy, one of those with two whisk bits and a handle you turn to make the whisk bits turn, similar to the picture, which is probably around 60-70 years old. We use it for Angel Delight mainly. It works and it's less hassle than getting the electric mixer out for such a small job.

My bread knife which was second hand when I got it in 1987 and some plates which my grandparents used, they had them in the 50s.

I have lots of old things!

I still use the little Kenwood mixer that my mum's friend bought her in the mid-70s.

Tbf, neither of us were massively into baking so it hasn't been overused but it's still whizzing around when it's needed.

The oldest appliance we use is our oven that was installed when we bought the house 24 years ago. The oldest utensil would be my grandmothers rolling pin which is older than I; so more than 57 years.

I have a set of three Pyrex mixing bowls that my Gran bought in the early 70s. She gave them to me when I moved into a student house in 1985.

Still as good as new and in regular use.

Probably not the oldest, but I'm very fond of the small kitchen knife I have that I bought in a pound shop as a set of 10 about 35 years ago.

It had a sticker on it that said "similar to as seen on TV" and my boyfriend at the time correctly guessed that I only really bought them because the sticker made me laugh. 😂

But, 35 years later, one of my 10p knives has survived multiple moves, and is genuinely my favourite kitchen knife as it's just the right size for my hand.

A Braun coffee grinder I remember my parents using when we lived in Germany in the early 1970s. I use it every day and it’s still going strong.

Jamie Oliver grater and veg peeler- both mega sharp -28 yrs at least; braun hand blender - 30 ish; my 1977 Silver jubilee teaspoon!

A ceramic condiment set that was my mum's. Dad brought it for her from somewhere on his travels (merchant navy) in the 50s. It's a bright yellow base with a palm tree rising from the middle & the salt, pepper shakers & mustard pot are shaped & painted like coconuts. It's so happy looking - reminds me of my mum, holidays & summer. I really should put it in a cabinet & just display it but I love using it. I've got her mint sauce jug too, it's mint green, ceramic & has textured mint leaves all over it with a matching saucer & tiny spoon. I think that was my granny's & likely been consistently used for approx 100 years now. Granny spent her youth 'in service' & had a few cast offs from 'the big house', this is one of them. Whenever she used to get the items out to show me, there'd always be a story. My favourite used to be about how long her hair was, but the gardener kept saying to her 'have it bobbed or shingled Annie', so she got a shingle for her first ever haircut.

Our Kenwood chef is 50 years old. DH has just repaired it! We have some of my Grandma’s ‘best china’ which is older, but it isn’t used very often.

Like op we had an old hot water bottle from Dh's mum, but on mn suggestion we got a new one, that no one liked, it leaked, so we went back to the old one.

A utensil set that was bought for my parents’ “bottom drawer” before they got married in ?1967?

Our carving knife and fork was a wedding present, so 47 years old. I remember being very excited at getting a rather strange looking, expensive new vacuum cleaner, from a new company known for making wheelbarrows, called Dyson. Tge original DC1 cist a small fortune, but it is still going strong. It is relegated to the garage and DH uses it for cleaning the inside of the car, but it has better suction than the new rechargeable one I use. Just checked, they were launched in 1993 so that would make it 30 years old ish.

Braun hand blender which is older than me. It was a gift at my parents wedding...they divorced 35 years ago 😂

Clock radio. I've had it for 35 years

Braun Professional blender/chopper and soup wand (2004). I bought new blender jugs when the first ones cracked but am still using the same device, wand and blades. And I use it several times a week, it's not stuck away in a cupboard.

I also have a rotary whisk which is 60+ years old.

Some Bisto gravy tins probably from the 1960s that belonged to my grandma.
I keep my flour in them

I also have a hand held mixer that's nearly that old! It rattles a lot when I use it, and I keep thinking about writing to Phillips to complain (just for a laugh 😀)

My parents’ cutlery, they were married in 1934! What’s left of their wedding present dinner service is on my dresser. I threw out mum’s almost toothless bread knife just a couple of years ago. I still have the stainless steel teapot and a couple of casseroles we got as engagement and wedding gifts in the 60s.
