NOT GIVING IT UP.

Is there anything that was used decades ago for food preparation that you still make use of in 2017? I was a bit surprised one Sunday when I visited the friend of a friend who lived in a suburb of the city. In a covered area in the back of her yard, she was boiling peas on a coal pot like the one pictured above.
Her kitchen , by the way- was fitted with modern appliances including a six- burner gas stove - but according to her, she preferred cooking certain foods on her coal pot - and her gas lasted longer.
A coal pot can be messy, so I am not sure I would ever use one unless I absolutely had to. However , a grater still hangs in my kitchen. I use it for grating nutmeg , coconut and other food items. I doubt I will be giving that up anytime soon. What about you? - anything old fashioned that you won't want to give up? Anything at all - not only kitchen appliances.

My gas stove is an antique. But when I call the technicians to clean it and ask them if I should change it, they all tell me no new stove is as good as mine.

I guess a tea kettle and teapot. I don''t use them very often, but I like the way they look and they can come in handy.

I don't think there's anything old fashioned I still use or want to give up.

I realize the coalpot as we know it is a foreign concept to a lot of people. But it is what families used in many parts of the world. It is quite similar to the coal BBQ that many use in the western world.
