Name something you had in your childhood kitchen that isn't there today?

[OneUmberJoker]

Microwave

Chip pan

Mincing machine

My first thought was my mum, but this is lighthearted .. so yes, the chip pan.

Eye level grill
Cona coffee maker
Pressure Cooker
Mustard and khaki unit doors
Croc pot
Earthenware tea, coffee, sugar jars

Electric carving knife

We still have a chip pan 😀
but no leftover fat bowl by the side of the cooker (as it was called then) not in the fridge

An electric can opener - very 70s for my mother .
Blankets and flat sheets
Shower curtain
Toast rack
Two landline phones
TV aerial
Daily newspaper

Deep fat fryer.

Chip pan plus a mincer that clamped onto the worktop. It was used to make leftover roasts into rissoles and now I think of them I really want to eat them.

You had an interesting kitchen!

Ooops thought it said your house , not just kitchen.

A lemon squeezer 😀

Deep fat fryer. Covered in dust and grease and my parents used to do chips in it but not leave them in long enough so they came out half cooked covered with a film of fat🤮

A knitting machine
A budgie in a cage

A microwave. A coffee percolator. A wall-mounted can opener.

Twin tub washing machine
Gadget that made butter and milk into cream
Chip pan
Mincer (to make rissoles on Thursday from the very last of Sundays roast)
Pot of dripping on the side permanently

Why was there a shower curtain in the kitchen?

Chip pan
Electric knife
The wire thing for slicing boiled eggs
The creda cooker with eye level grill.
70s kitchen .

Rumpot - never had any fruit or rum in it - just receipts shoved in there.

I have a much bigger kitchen than my mum ever had (just down to her living in a crowded city with small flats), so we have way more random gadgets than she ever had.

BUT she once got given a salad spinner to get the moisture off your salad leaves. You put your washed salad in and it spins around like a washing machine (and it's almost as large as one!) Biggest waste of space ever in her tiny kitchen but she kept it and still uses it occasionally because, she says, "it's a good French brand"

Aren't things like ovens dangerous for small birds?

A mangle.

Tripe! My dad used to buy and cook it.
Cooking cheddar, unbelievably sharp, another of dad's regular purchases.
Catering pack of Vesta style curry....
Catering size jar of ketchup.

Indian kitchen, and thus possibly still there in today’s Indians kitchens in India. But not in mine in the UK - a “boti”. https://www.amazon.in/Handmade-Coconut-Scraper-Traditional-Vegetable/dp/B0G53ZV1Q1
i would sit on the floor with my grandma and watch her shave out he insides of coconuts to then mix with other ingredients like ghee, jaggery and so on to make sweets. Yes my grandpa did die an early death of several heart attacks ….
