Do you still use primitive or folk utensils and things in your home?  

We still have a clay pot a big and a small one. The small one we still use for cooking paksiw then the big one for boiled babanas or boiled cassava also using charcoal or wood in the dirty kitchen. The charcoal iron we gave to our househelp to take back home to her mother, they still don't have electricity in the mountains. The clay jug in my grandpas house in the barrio is still there but I plan on getting a new smaller clay jug for daily use in the city because it's cooler than the tap water and not too cold like water from the refrigerator.

We still use our old family utencils. My parents still prefer the water of clay jug during summer. There is a scorching temperature conditions at our place in India and having temperatures + 47C it is very much difficult but they still prefer the water of clay jug. Though pressure cookers have taken their place in houses because of time saving and saving of precious fuel but we prefer to have out meals in our traditional pots made of brass. Now slowly the new utencils made of steel and alluminium are taking place of the old ones keeping in view the high brass prices and increasing fuel prices. Pressure cookers have become the integral part of our kitchens. Have a nice day.

Hello my friend djoyce71 Ji,
I am 50-50. I use all types, I use filter and then transfer my drinking water into Soil-pot and not clay-pot. Off course, we have latest washing automatic machine, as well as washing on stone by our maid-servant. We have gas-cooking, but we can cook in oven like thing. So we can say, we niether orthodx nor modern Have a nice time. We use silver/copper/brass/German silver and steel/ceramics/plasics in our kitchen along with dusters/clippers/paper plates and tissue papers. have a nice time.

I use modern utensils if possible, i have never tried any other type before.

Now used less,but people are very nostalgic,and some families still in use,which is q mark of the times.

Oh I miss the big black tapayan that was once our main water storage. I really regret that my family disposed that tapayan just like that. I did not foresee that someday I'd be looking back at the importance of that tapayan. I could have kept it if only I was already that mature. Also the small brown one with faucet which was then our drinking station. There was no refrigerator way back then but the water from that banga was cold! I also miss the clay pot. I wish I could buy the same quality again because the food cooked from clay pot tastes better and safer. Yes, paksiw and pinangat are meant to be cooked in palayok but I'm having a hard time looking for fine palayok these days! They are available in the market but not the same as the old palayoks we had before. Another old thing I missed is the baul. It was an antique baul made of narra and my mother disposed it just like that. Now, I saw in the mall how expensive a baul is and I could just breathe so deep upon the thought that it was just disposed by my Mom to a garbage collector. Who would know that the old baul would be so expensive someday!

no we dont use it anymore.. i dont know where are our folk utensils now. its all lost since we moved out.
