Our tendies!

Tendies, IN!

Wew lad!

They look done to me.

The basket has a couple of notches that hook onto two rivets inside the fryer so we can let the oil drain off.

A bit overcooked, I defrosted them a little bit so they cooked pretty quick. They should still be good though. Time for the next batch.

nice

looks good OP

Neat thread, thanks op. We’re the tendies good?

2nd batch done, that's more like it.

>>14205331
What do you mean by automatic? Does the basket lift itself up after a certain amount of time?

>>14205431
>>14205437
Thanks guys!
>>14205440
They are very good. I got tired of trying to fry on the stove top and keep my oil at the proper temp. I want consistent tendies. Without the fryer sometimes my panko would be too hard because I let the oil get too hot, other times the oil wouldn't be hot enough and they would soak up too much of the oil. I picked this fryer up at Goodwill for a song.

>>14205471
No, I think the manufacturer meant it automatically keeps its temperature via the thermostat. This was cutting edge stuff in the 1950s. It's more of a marketing buzzword.

It's hard to achieve the right lighting with my phone, but here's the best picture I could manage of the cross section.

2nd tendie.

Bump

The oil has cooled down a bit so I'm going to clean up. I want to reuse this oil a few times so I plan on filtering it.

Now for the sketchy part. You should make sure the oil is cooled down enough not to burn you. I'm going to transfer into my large cast iron pan and transfer from that to my small sieve with a coffee filter. And from my large batter bowl back into the factory bottle.

In hindsight I may transfer into a sauce pot in the future, I need to develop a system.

I'm removing the bulk of the oil with a ladle first then I'll pour the last of it into the filter.

Are you posting from the 50s, anon?

>>14205833
I've only done this once before.

I really would like to do a mid century remodel to my kitchen at least. We are living in the Golden Age of vintage used Boomer appliances and stuff. It's all top notch made in USA goodness too.

I picked up this 1940s GE triple whip mixer too. It's going on 80 years old and it still works! I have several Sunbeam and Kitchenaid mixers. Shit is better than modern junk too.

>>14205331
that fryer is making a face with an open mouth and eyes shut

It looks like I recovered most of the oil, which tells me we were frying at the proper temp. It doesn't look scorched either. I spilled a little bit on the stovetop, and there is a bit left in the cast iron and in the filter basket as well. I usually use peanut oil but I didn't have enough to be sure I had the fryer filled to the minimum level. There are no hash marks inside for minimum and maximum, so I wanted to be sure I used enough. I figure for the 50s an entire bottle was probably standard. This was 48 ounces and the oil was about 3 or so inches deep inside the fryer.

Based. That thing is probably better quality than anything on the market today and it survived 70 years instead of 5 like modern shit. Worlds going to hell.

>inb4 zoomers bitch at me

Fuck you fags gen 1 Pokémon were better too.

>>14205903
Cannot unsee.

Cleanup was pretty easy. You can't submerge the unit so some care must be taken with cleanup. Wiped out the crumbs and excess oil that remained with a paper towel, then rinsed the inside under hot water. A soapy sponge and a few rinses for the inside. A wipe down with a sponge on the outside then a towel dry. Took a couple of minutes. Pretty easy maintenance.

>>14205925
This fryer probably outlived everyone that worked at the plant where it was made. They'd probably be a minimum of 85 years old right now. It wasn't made in a communist sweatshop with child labor either.

The handle attaches/detaches from the basket with a really simple and effective design, so it can be stored inside the fryer.

It has a glass lid. I also like the fact that it isn't non-stick coated like many of the modern fryers. I am looking forward to frying again. I want to make mini cake doughnuts with cinnamon and powdered sugar.

>>14205408
Great feature

I couldn't really capture it well but the handles are Bakelite. Same thing my old utensils in the wire basket are made out of, and what they made old AK47 magazines out of originally.

Displays well next to my old popcorn makers. That mixer in the corner is an old Sunbeam Mixmaster Model 3 from the 1930s and it still works. It has Jadeite bowls. It's about 85 years old.

>>14205376
>>14205831
I like the look of your kitchen, the only thing you could be doing better is having a 70s color gas range.

nice fryer but those tendies look like shit. they're chicken cutlets at best,

>>14206050
Thanks. I've been wanting to pick up a vintage range for a while now, and install tile countertops. I may be able to get away with granite and still have the classic vibe though. I really like granite. A vintage refrigerator is a dream, the really nice ones go for thousands. Maybe I'll get lucky someday...

I have been stalking Habitat for Humanity for paint to redo the kitchen. But I may have to break down and spend a few hundred at Kelly Moore or Sherwin Williams for the walls. I am thinking mint green with maybe red trim, or hunter green. Not sure yet. I have picked up some orange and purple from Humanity and a couple other vibrant primary colors for trims and cabinets. I collect old Pyrex too. The old lady and I found this old hutch at the local thrift for $15.

>>14206064

>>14205863
All that cool gear yet you have a shitty coil stovetop, a damn shame.

>>14205408
>those bakelite utensils
>that can opener

>>14206064
They're Tyson brand from Costco. You can do much worse. I really like the Panko vs the typical tendie breading. I want to make some homemade Nashville Chicken sandwiches though. But for a quick din din the Tyson are alright. They did come out much better in the fryer than they usually do in my fry pot on top of the range though. Fryers are definitely worth the cost, time and trouble. I'm glad I didn't break down and get a FryDaddy or Cuisinart or something and ran into this old vintage fryer. The thermostat seems to work fine, and it seems to have enough wattage to maintain proper frying temps.

>>14206140
I know. I'd have to run a gas line to have a gas stove. I'd like to keep an electric oven and add an in-counter gas range. It would end up being a full remodel for my ideal setup.

>>14206141
The can opener is also a knife sharpener. I am missing the magnetic arm that picks up the lid of the tin can though. The old lady's best friend has all the original appliances in her kitchen from the 50s that her grandma left her with the house. She has the older version of that Sunbeam can opener in Turquoise that's even cooler. Pic related. And it still works. You can't even buy a hand operated can opener anymore that will last 5 or 10 years, let alone 2 or 3 generations.

>>14205331

This sucks. Oil and crumbs go all over and inside the coils.

>>14206111
My mother's ex in-laws happened to have a beautiful vintage home. Their kitchen was an avocado green on the darker end of the spectrum. Counters, walls, I believe even the oven matched it. It was a 70s dream, I wish I could show you pics :(

>>14208965
>>14210119
My old lady's best friend has a countertop range with the super fat coils and in wall ovens. They are turquoise and trimmed in gold. This stove is kinda cool, but I'm not really into the browns.
https://letgo.onelink.me/O2PG/66e35ffd

Ideally I'd have Avocado and reds, maybe some orange. I really like the idea of the walls and trim having green shades and the appliances and maybe cabinets and stuff being fruit colored. Makes me happy to think about.

>>14209708
I love that movie, I watched it twice the first time I saw it.
>>14210051
Glad you guys enjoyed it, thanks a lot.

There are some cool Faceburg groups if you search Vintage Mixers, and etc related to that kinda thing. There seems to be a community around preserving and restoring old appliances and mid century aficionados have been around for a while. I wish I had the budget to make the whole house retro and drive an old 65 Lincoln Continental or something cool like that.

Excellent thread OP, I really like your stuff, maybe if you get crafty and learn a bit about /diy/esque things perhaps you could buy some more worn down appliances and restore them to their former glory (careful with the things you could use to clean/paint them, heh).

Have a good day.

Good thread. I would really like to see it do some fries.

OP, PLEASE continue making threads, and thank you so much for this one.

I like old stuff, it was built better obviously because it still works, it looks cooler, and like I said earlier itt I like old hot plates and this fryer because they aren't coated with non-stick. I have an old electric waffle iron from the 1920s that is cast and requires seasoning like an old cast iron skillet to be non-stick. This broad and her old man have gone a step further, but they give off a hipster vibe and dude is walking in the wrong side of her because he's a pleb. You're supposed to walk on the street side of your lady just in case a runaway carriage or something enters the sidewalk. You need to protect the missus like a true gentleman.

I've gained 20 pounds or so since the quarantine. But I'm a steel worker and I normally can consume my 5000 calories a day or whatever and burn it all off working in a metal shop without A/C in the deep South. Keeps me fit as fuck. I also make things for my kitchen and home at work. Like my ~8" carbon steel bacon press that covers the entire cooking surface of my large cast iron skillet.(pic related, on the right rear burner) >>14205909
And my pizza steel etc. The old lady is fine, we're both getting old but can still smash so w/e. We don't have roommates, it's just the two of us. We also shoot guns, raise our animals, and stalk the thrift stores. She was a volunteer for a while at our local Christian thrift store that runs a girl's camp to keep at risk girls from becoming degenerate. We live in a small town where everyone knows everyone. My brother in law is on the city council, my sister is a local business leader, and mom used to run the doughnut shop with pop. It's pretty kino.

>>14212549
>they're like 30 but poor so they buy all of their stuff at secondhand stores
She works for the state and I'm a blue collar tradie. I think we cleared about $82k last year. But the cost of living here is next to nothing. Gas is like $1.40 a gallon and electricty is like $0.10 a kilowatt. We pay $450 a month for our old 2 bedroom Mill house on about 3/4 acre. Life was worse when I made $43 an hour plus benefits back in California in my union job. I have more freedom living how I do now in small town America than the Bay Area paying a $4200 mortgage. Fuck all that.

>>14212583
>Don't you need to watch out for asbestos with appliances like these? Anything that has insulation could contain it.
The fryer isn't really insulated. You are exposed to more asbestos washing the wheels on your car than using old stuff as intended. The mixers are even lubed with food safe grease because they did consider those things back in the olden days. A lot of homes have lead an asbestos. Anything built before the 70s/80s pretty much had asbestos in them. As long as you don't cut/disturb it you're fine. And my father in law is like 85 years old and he grew up with all this junk in the house and I did too really and we're fine. China still sells us toxic/dangerous shit today that gets recalled all the time. I don't worry about it.

>>14213744
I've been meaning to bake a double chocolate cake for a while now. I use my old Kitchenaid 4c for the batter and my Sunbeam Model 12 for the buttercream frosting. That could be a thread.

They had artillery shells for hundreds of years before WWII but it was an American invention called the Mark 53 proximity fuse that made it so deviating and effective.

>>14213896
It is, my father in law pulled it out of his garage during a remodel and gave it to us. You can tell by the pulls that it is pre 1960s. Also from the slotted screws on the hardware. It's probably from 20s or 30s judging from the art deco style pulls and hinges.

>>14214047
Hers had identical handles. Definitely installed somewhere about 1930.

>5000 calories a day is an olympic athelete during training. you definitely don't expend that much sweating your fat ass in the warehouse
I have maintained the same weight for the past 25 years, Anon. Have you ever worked in a metal shop before, or a cotton mill etc? It isn't an 8 hour day either, minimum 10 hour shifts. Last year I was working 60 hour weeks. I calculated how much carbon steel I lift in a single day as well, 3000 pounds is an average depending on what job I'm on. 90+ degrees in South Carolina swamp-ass heat which is like 90% humidity. And working in production you run all day. I can eat pretty much whatever I want. I'd typically start they day with a large bowl of raisin bran and a banana, or a chicken biscuit, a large bowl of chicken with rice and beans topped with cheese and sour cream/Chipotle ranch for lunch, and then a large supper. Plus I usually bake a cake and take a slice to work for 9:30 break or eat some candy and maybe another banana to keep my sugar up between breakfast and lunch. I drink either coke or southern sweet tea all day.

Here we are on our way to church. I don't think I'm doing too bad for 40.

I like old rock & roll like Johnny Burnett who was in the same vein as Elvis but a bit more lewd, and newer stuff like Bryan Setzer, but not really. Her favorite band is Tool, which I have seen 3 times live but grew out of 20 years ago. She has developed an appreciation for some of the old timey music I have introduced her to. She likes The Devil Makes Three which is sort of a punk-grass/carnival/jazz music group from Santa Cruz that I used to follow. And
I like pretty much anything Rhiannon Giddens is attached to like the Carolina Chocolate Drops.

youve piqued my interest fellow SC bro, what region you in? Midlands here. Your kitchen looks real neat, and it seems like you do honest work. Not as much industry around here as there used to be, but its still more than a lot of other places. Theres a couple textile mills around here that closed down long ago.
Any suggestions on places for cool vintage shit, kitchen or otherwise? Favorite places to eat?

>>14216320
I'm in the upstate. I've lived in Greenville, Anderson, and am currently in Pickens county. I worked at Milliken for about 4 years at the finishing plant before I got sick of swing shift and went back to welding and metal finishing.

You can't beat the prices for vintage shit at your local thrift store or maybe a yard sale, but you have to go often to get the good stuff before someone else snaps it up. The jockey lot/flea market is pretty good too. Goodwill seems to get the most stuff, and much of their very best stuff they put online at auction. Check their website. It was much better before the shutdown though. Estate auctions are also pretty good, my father in law likes to go to those.

I don't eat out much anymore but there is a Mexican place in Greenville called Los Meras Tortas that has great Al Pastor. I get the California Burrito Al Pastor. Other than that we would pretty much just pick up Chick-fil-A or Taco Bell. The best food we eat is what I cook at home.

Here are a couple of cook-a-longs I have posted recently.

>>14216742
>what's the point of something like this if you already have a stove and pots?
This fryer has a thermostat which regulates the heat better than I can manually, which means a higher quality and a more consistent product. If you go into a commercial kitchen you will rarely see a professional use a pot to deep fry, you will see a commercial fryer. Commercial fryers can be several thousands of dollars and they wouldn't exist if deep frying in a pot on top of a stove was simple, and as consistent as a frying machine.

>>14216856
>This fryer has a thermostat which regulates the heat better than I can manually
doubt it. especially if you have a modern thermometer or temp gun. commercial kitchens use commercial fryers because it makes sense in that context. it doesn't make sense to use this rinky dink contraption that just takes up space and is harder to clean/handle than a simple pot or wok. lmao @ clumsily pouring oil out of it into a pan and then into a cup and then into a plastic bottle - WEAK

>>14216896
>doubt it
>I like to speak with authority about things that I've never actually done
I like the aesthetics of a kitchen full of mid century gadgets. I would have still filtered the cooking oil for reuse even if I had used a pot. This is fun for me, and not only did the cast iron act as a heat sink and sped up the process of cooling down the oil, but it gave me the opportunity to add another layer of seasoning to my favorite skillet. Commercial fryers "make sense" because they offer consistency, which a home fryer like mine does as well.
Thanks for the bump, frien!

Look into Gorenje fridges. They have some vintage looking fridges in their line.

Bump for based OC.

Making an early dinner. More tendies and some tater tots.

I started with 2 tendies but it seemed like I had enough room for all 4 so I added the other 2 moments later.

I used my tongs to move them around and flip them a couple of times during the fry to try and keep them cooking evenly.

Fully submerge tendies.

Bumped up the heat from 350 to 375 for the tots.

>cotton braided 2 prong cord
I know it sucks to lose that vintage virgin factor, but there's a reason all modern appliances use three prong plugs. In the likely chance your appliance shorts internally somehow, it'll ground out and trip a breaker instead of being a 110 volt bug zapper waiting for you to touch it.
This is also why you use GFCI outlets near water sources throughout the house. This used to burn down tons of homes, and kitchen fires have always been the leading cause of house fires.

>>14212583

Also abso-fucking-lutely
Cancer rates increased as Americans began using plastic shit in their cooking.
Every other aspect of our lives has gotten healthier, yet cancer rates continue to increase.

>>14220342
Yeah it's a bummer because the cord looks brand new. I wonder if there is enough room to fish a ground wire through that insulation and save the cord while replacing only the prong?

Cleanup was much easier this time. I was able to ladle about half the oil off the top before needing to filter, as the crumbs had settled mostly at the bottom.

I could then scoop out all but maybe the last tablespoon of oil, then I poured that into my filter. Much easier. Then a wipe down with a paper towel. The machine was still warm so I ran some piping hot water into the cooker and will let it finish cooling down before sponging and rinsing and putting it away.

Total cleanup is about 10 minutes.

>>14220289
Looks great, OP.

OP please try fries in this. I’m really interested to see how they turn out.

>>14220378
I've seen it done.
Use high flexibility stranded copper, ground to the body of the device and to the third prong.
Typically a decent idea to multi meter the circuits to check for shorts whenever you get a new device.

try frying them at 325 for 4 to 8 minutes, don't let them brown. Then cool them on a rack/sheet pan for 30 minutes, then fry them again at 375 (or higher if you can) until they're golden brown.

cut them 1cm by 1cm for best results!

I may try this. Tyson give instruction to cook at 350 for 9 minutes. What I really want to try is making my own Nashville Chicken Sandwiches. The frozen tendies are great for convenience and they are less than $3 a pound, but I'd like to try making spicy chicken sandwichea from scratch.

if it's a tyson recipe for potatoes, it's not going to be as good as if you cook them at a low temp then a high temp. The belgians are autistic about it and have perfected the art of good fried potatoes. Give it a shot.

Also making fried chicken from scratch is a messy endeavor, but it's worth it. If you use a wet marinade like buttermilk, make sure you drip off most of the excess before dredging it in flour! Good luck anon, post pics if you try it out.

that's really nice for you, i'm using a basic OBH nordica deep fryer. personally i think a deep fryer is the way to go for home deep frying (even if you do it rarely). it'll save up on trouble and time so much and there is practically no mess from it. also it doesn't matter if the heat drops down, it'll go back up in a minute or so.

>>14224506
Is it vintage? This thread is about vintage kitchen appliances.

>>14225024
no, it's not vintage. also you didn't say this thread was about "vintage kitchen appliances".

>>14225132
I'm not the OP, but if you'd actually read the thread that would be obvious and you wouldn't have made an embarrassment of yourself again.

>>14223075
I'm going to try the double fry method today. I just got back from the grocer with some taters and fish fillets. I'm going to make fish & chips for din din. I stopped by the local thrift on the way and found this turquoise Pyrex 575b Space Saver casserole for $3. I'm going to head over to their sister store in Pickens to see if I can find the lid because they often split shipments between them, and the donators most certainly owned more Pyrex.

>>14224506
Deep frying yields much better results. I am very pleased with my purchase. I would recommend everyone who likes tendies to get a deep fryer.

Apologies. I wasn't being serious. I just wanted an excuse to bump the thread while waiting for OP and I don't like saying just 'bump'. I should've picked a post that required me to be less confrontational though. Sorry again.

Bump for OP's latest fryer adventures.

Sorry for the delay guys. I found a pair of tool cabinets that I really needed for $100 and had to make a couple of trips back and forth to transport them before the thrift store closed. Now I can get my tools properly stowed, the old lady has been on my ass to organize the craft room which is a total clusterfuck. They're both made in USA. One is an old Anderson Hickey Co and the other is a Sandusky.

>>14226571
You have such based shopping skills, OP. Very nice.

I also picked up an old Sunbeam Coffeemaster percolator model AP8A for $7 working in great shape, and a Wear
-Ever No 968 percolator without the pump for $4, but I plan on using it as a kettle for Kent Rollins style cowboy coffee and won't need the pump. And I got a partial set of vintage Corelle Spring Blossom which I have been keeping an eye out for. I already have a complete set of the Butterfly Gold, and this is another set I plan on completing along with a set of Old Town Blue. It's been a busy day, it seems like the local thrifts are starting to come back to life after the shutdown.

>>14226639
Amazing finds. That kettle-looking one is some beautiful design.

>>14226571
we used these at school

>EMPTY
yes it is thank you paper sign

Washed the taters and removed the eyes. I like the skins though so I didn't peel them.

With my antique Presto French Fry Cutter the trick seems to be getting the tater centered and the cutter seated, then slam that sucker hard against your cutting board to cut through your potatoes.

Bam!

>>14227156
Shhiiitt. I'd worry about that thing taking my fingers off.

Works pretty good. I have been keeping my eye out for a mechanical fry cutter though, preferably one with at least 2 or 3 blade inserts for different sizes fries and whatnot.

>>14227175
It could be something to watch out for, but it is just a wire cutter similar to a cheese cutter. My hands are pretty tough though from shop work, but a lady may want to be extra careful.

We got our fries washed until the cold water no longer came out milky, to remove the starch. Now we are going to cover them with ice water and lime juice then let them sit for a half an hour or so in the fridge. The citric acid is supposed to keep the potatoes from oxidizing and turning brown while they soak.

I was about to say; “make some fires, man!”

When I was a little kid, my mom would make what she called “Belgian fries” (thick cut fries) while dad ran the BBQ, but she used a big ass witch kettle on the basement stove to fry them, so as not to heat up the house in the summer.

They were fuck’n awesome!

>>14227226
Why do we soak them?

>>14227226
Looks so cool anyway. I really dig all your vintage looking utensils too. Good tip on the fries re citric acid. I'll remember this.

>>14227236
That's a smart lady. I do like that style of fries. I believe the style I am making now would typically be called "steak fries". Probably because thick fries with the skins on them are typically served with steak at our steakhouses.
>>14227238
The recipe I am following says it keeps the outside from browning too quickly before the center of the fries cook. I will also be double frying them first at a lower heat(325°) then at 375° after they have set for about 15 minutes.
>>14227259
Thanks. I try to pick up all the little odds and ends like this when I rummage through the bins at the local thrift. I doubt I paid more than a dollar for any single utensil.

Juicing my lime.

Now they get covered and go into the fridge. It will be a minute before we start to fry.

Great thread and high quality images, OP. Well looking forward to seeing how the fries turn out especially.

>>14222933
>They don't know how good they had it tbqhf.

Seriously true!

Drying out the fries after the soak.

You can see the difference between the fries that soaked and the discarded bits that didn't.

Why are you making this such a big production? They’re fries, just slice ‘em and deep fry ‘em.

Recipe says to line the bottom of the basket but not to fry too many at once or your oil temp will drop too much.

>>14227671
Am monitoring on this. Also, looking at the great condition of this fryer - you have to wonder about the person who kept it like this all those years. Maybe they never used it much, or maybe they used it a lot and took really good care of it. I love that kind of history to these things. It's not just some gadget you buy and don't think of more than what it does. It's got a whole human story behind it, and now a new human story starting. Really cool.

The first fry is done. They seemed to start to float in the oil at about 6 minutes and started to show that golden brown color. Now we let them set for 15 minutes before bumping up the heat to 375 and fun thing them off in 2-3 minutes.

>>14227323
Thanks, I'm trying to decide whether or not to finish the fries first or do the fish then the fries because the fries will cook faster and at a higher temp. I will probably do the fish first so I can eat the fries hot out of the fryer and not have to place them in the oven to stay warm.

>>14227646
>why post a lot of pictures on an imageboard

>>14227700
There was a tiny bit of time of oil residue at the rolled lip on the top of the fry basket. I am thinking it was barely used, maybe a wedding present that spent most of its time in the box in a cabinet. The cotton cord is like new.

>>14227778

I mean, what’s up with the lime juice and ice cubes, etc?

They’re fries, just fry ‘em.

>>14227729

I’d eat the fuck out of those, with some 50/50 ketchup and BBQ sauce.

>>14228018
Perfect color on those fries.

>>14227803
The old lady made us fry sauce, 50/50 ketchup and mayo. I seasoned the fries with Seasoning Salt, which I think is what Bojangles uses on their fries which are my favorite.
>>14227881
They were still a little limp. They do look good though. They started to float in the oil, and they never really sank into the oil on the 2nd fry.

>>14227996
Thanks man. It's pretty rad, machines like this one were made before that whole "planned obsolescence" became a thing. It's not as profitable to build and sell a durable good that will last a lifetime or more.
>>14228000
Thanks, I really like the old borosilicate Corning/Pyrex Restaurant Ware I have been using. Also known as Milk Glass. It's what a lot of Restaurants used when I was a kid before everyone switched to stoneware.

>>14228000
It was really good by the way. I fried them in two batches and the 2nd batch I kept in for 4 minutes instead of 3 like the first and they were perfectly crisp. I was afraid I'd burn them or dry them out but they cooked just right.

>>14228005

I have been wanting to paint for a long time. My mom painted the kitchen years ago and her theme was red and yellow. It looked better with her red handled antique utensils and red and white antique Enamel Ware pots and pans on display. But I want mint green walls for the base of my color scheme. The old lady and I are going to the new Habitat for Humanity in Greenville tomorrow that her friend works at. Maybe we'll get lucky and find some paint for cheap. I have a DeVilbiss pain sprayer setup.

>>14228105

I'm old enough to remember when this was considered unfashionable. My mother had a set with orange flowers as I remember. I remember that same sort of highly stylized design.

Do you cook vintage too, OP? Any unusual dishes you and your lady like to try?

Idk if ck does a best of 2020 thread at eoy but this should be on it

>>14228172

That sounds like maybe Fire King Restaurant Ware, or if in Europe French Acropal. Pic related.

Probably the most traditional meal I make is either a London Broil or Yankee Pot Roast. We don't really get into the strange Jello concoctions like they popularized in the 50s and 60s. My mom makes a good Jello Ice Cream Salad that was my grandmother's recipe around the holidays.

>>14228221
Not as intricate as that. More like the design in >>14226639 but larger. It's hard to remember specifically but I'd know it if I saw it. She also used to have a lot of that colored glass. Tableware but also little objects around the house. I see that stuff occasionally in vintage shops and always want to buy it just because of the feel of those memories.

>>14228286
Those jello concoctions look revolting. Only thing I remember my mom doing was stuff like avocado ritz and baked Alaska. Pretty cool. That pot roast looks epic.

>>14228155
I'll have my fingers crossed for you

>>14228081
>>14228105
They look amazing. I don't like those super hard fries anyway. I like them crispy but still able to absorb a little vinegar or sauce.

Man, I hope I come across one of these fryers one day. Yours looks in mint condition so probably hard to find but 70 years and it can still do this is quite something.

This has to be the best thread that /ck/ has seen in a longtime

This thread should never end until limit is reached.

As other anons pointed out I find the whole thing hilarious that 70+ years later these things are still trucking. Meanwhile unfortunate third world countries have become dumping grounds for a mountain of discarded chinkshit that works for maybe a little over a year before becoming broken and irreparable.

>>14228976
It's funny how environmentalists never point that out. And they never seem to point the finger at China who doesn't give a fuck about the environment and is the largest polluter by far. What's supposed to happen when China rises and has a expanding middle class that is larger and pollutes more than America and Europe ever could?

>>14229233
Truth.

>>14228976
I wonder how common the phrase "They don't build 'em like they used to." is nowadays.
I feel like durability probably took a nose dive when we started outsourcing our materials and production lines to unreliable countries.

For me it's Yuban.

Good morning /ck/, I went straight for the old Sunbeam Coffeemaster and finished cleaning her up. I need a cup 'o joe first thing to get me rolling into some eggs and toast, then off to Greenville for some rummaging(or grovelling as my mom likes to call it). The old lady has an itinerary all laid out.

Coffee came out great.

And our eggs over easy were fine too.

>>14230272
This looks awesome. Is it a kind of coffee maker? Sorry, if dumb question, I am not used to coffee makers.

>>14230420

>This looks awesome. Is it a kind of coffee maker? Sorry, if dumb question, I am not used to coffee makers.
Yes sir, that's a Sunbeam Coffeemaster percolator. They were first produced in 1938. It makes a great cup of coffee. It works on a vacuum design. I could upload pictures of the internals when I get home. I found some cool things today at the thrift store as well.
>>>14230420 #
>Ideal egg. I don't usually like over easy but I would definitely eat that.
Thanks. With toast I prefer over easy... to maybe over medium. I prefer fried on a breakfast sandwich and scrambled in a burrito.

>>14230272
whats the capacity on that thing? looks very nice. Ive got a stovetop sort, makes enough to fill my husbands thermos and for us to both have a cup in the morning, so its hard to pass up that amount.

It's 8 cups if I remember correctly. They did make a higher capacity model though. The C20, C30, and C50 models had a 10 cup capacity I think.

>>14232372
You stupid fuck. The postwar '50s was when a blue collar worker could make enough to afford a house.

>>14231859
Shit. So, it's still percolating coffee??! Like... 80 years later?!

Wow. Fuck me.

I would love to see AvE take apart one of these things. I bet he'd be blown away.

Today's haul.

That red Pyrex Hostess dish with the red lid in at center-left is probably my favorite find, along with the West Bend electric bean pot and the popcorn snack set center-right.

>>14233487
What a haul. Explain it to us, please, OP. What is the bowl to the right? Is it a trifle bowl? Looks fucking amazing....

My old lady is going to make Boiled Peanuts in the old brown 50s stoneware West Bend Bean Pot soon. The Pop Corn set we will use all the time since we make stovetop popcorn with butter regularly. I also picked up a spare pitcher for my Oster blender which will come in handy when I have to blend multiple separate things for recipes as well as being spare parts, and on top of the pitcher is the Milk Shake whipping blade my old lady found in a bin which cost us $0.50. I almost ordered one of these off of eBay which run $10-20 online. I'm pretty stoked. Looking forward to boiled Peanuts tbqhf.

Ohhhh. It's a popcorn bowl with little poprcorn dishes. Fuck, I didn't even realize such a thing existed. How based.

>>14233500
I think you're referring to the vintage Popcorn snack set. Oh, and behind that is a Lansky ceramic knife sharpener kit. I have a set of Lansky stones, but this will allow me to get my knives razor sharp. I also like the Nordic Ware Train cake pan and that french fry scoop like they use at McDonald's center-front. Oh, and I found a Sonic jewelry and gem cleaner for the wife. There are a lot of cool little utensils too. A KitchenAid garlic press. A garlic cloves magic peeler. I'm going to have a lot of fun trying all this stuff out.
>>14233529

>>14233555
Hah. OP. You're so fucking based and class. I just want to come to the US and hang out with you, man. I bet you'd know all the best places to eat and hang out, too. We could go to a gig and all after.

Seriously fucking impressive.

>>14233565
Are the 2nd hand shops any good in your area Anon? It's a lot of fun searching for cool kitchen stuff and the like. I got a heavy duty Dexter hamburger flipper and that OXO spring steel Turner for less than a buck each. I almost bought the OXO on Amazon for $9, and the Dexter is almost $30. The blade is paper thin and super flexible. It will be perfect for eggs over easy and maybe crepes.

I'm cleaning out my late grandmother's house in Michigan right now, and finding a lot of old stuff like this. I'd keep it if I or my parents had the space to store it all, but right now it looks like most of it is going in the donation bin. Hopefully it'll make it to someone like OP who'll give it another 50+ years of use.

>>14233663
Sorry for your loss senpai. Keep all the old borosilicate colored Pyrex if she has any, Anon. It's worth some money and looks cool as fuck.

>>14233684
Also.
Some vintage utensils, the Japanese Bakelite spoons forks and knives are pretty cool, and since it's mostly just the wife and I for dinner I don't mind the incomplete set. The red handled Quikut chopper thing is a bit of a mystery. I'm not sure what it is specifically designed for. I haven't been able to find an exact match for it online.

>>14233684
I love borosilicate Pyrex. Best shit ever.

The Oster Milk Shake blade. I'm tempted to try it out tonight but it's after midnight and I'll probably wait until the morning.

>>14233649
There probably are but I wouldn’t even know how to begin looking for stuff like this, let alone how to use it. I think what impresses me most is not just that you find it, but that you seem to have use for it before you even do. As I say: you’re a class act. Great thread. A real pleasure to have followed.

Did you guys know that old Mason jars will fit into a Oster brand blender? I wanted to try that milk shake attachment first thing in the morning.

>>14214327
Please adopt me :(

>>14235645
Get in line, Anonymous.

>>14235564
It came with the standard chopping blade on the left. The milk shake blade on the right is a factory accessory that you can buy online. The milk shake blade is for whipping and adding air to stuff like shakes or making whipped cream and stuff. The standard chopping blade is sort of a do-it-all blade that comes on all blenders stock. The milk shake blade was most likely bought separately from the blender, I have never seen an Oster brand blender come with that blade.

>>14233555
what exactly might you do with a fast food fry scoop?

>>14236562
Aside from using it for my own fries and doughnuts, my mom used to run Carolina Cream in Easley until the owner retired, and my sister wants to open up the business again and purchase the name from the owner. First step is a mobile Doughnut trailer sort of like a catering truck but for doughnuts. There is one currently for sale in Tennessee iirc all set up for $18k. The scoop is what we use to put mini fried Doughnuts into the paper bags before they're tossed with powdered/cinnamon sugar and sold to the clientele. So it will get used.

I went back to Easley to pick up a bookshelf I was kicking the tires in the day before yesterday and I found more treasure! A lightly used General Electric model D1BL12 in avocado green!

>>14236798
The pitcher is oval and has a starburst on the top! It seems rare, I can't find another like it for sale online yet. I did find two slightly older 2-speed models with a chrome base and the exact same oval pitcher with green handle for $92 and $104 respectively.

> based OP is so based he even makes webms for us
You are such a boss. Thanks, OP.

FedEx dropped off a Waring Model 12DM19 "Professional" Drink Mixer. I got this at auction. It works very well, made a better Milkshake than the one I made this morning. Came out much thicker exactly like a local malt shop or Baskin Robbins etc. I think the steel cup keeps the ice cream from getting too warm and melting. While mixing, ice started forming on the outside of the cup. It's made in USA as well, and has the metal mixing blade and not the plastic one the cheaper models have.

>>14238017
>How old is this blender? That's comparative to most you'd buy today
I haven't found much info on it yet but an educated guess puts it mid 60s. It was first produced as a 2-speed model with the same pitcher but a shorter chrome base in the 50s, then a 3-speed which was green like mine, and mine is the next iteration with a beefier 7-speed motor moving into the more modern realm of performance. It's listed as 650 watts, but wattage isn't everything in regards to performance. I'll use it for regular jobs and use my Vitamix 4000 for things I need obliterated.

Use peanut oil OP. Any other oil is plebeian. If you ever use olive oil then that’s a huge flex

pretty neat stuff, only thing I have that old (and I don't think its nearly as old as some of the things you have) is a universal mixer which could be set up as a meat grinder and a bunch of other things which are lost somewhere, but thats probably only from the 70s or 80s judging by the look of it.

So, 50 years old and the motor's still that quality. They really do not make them any more like they used to. American engineering at its best.

I'm thinking with the name your sister wants to get, that ice cream/malt shop kind of makes a lot of sense. With your style and eye for detail and what seems like your family's experience in this area, I feel you're onto a winner. I'd definitely make a trip just to eat there.

>>14239604
I have peanut oil which is my go-to for frying but I am getting low and was worried that I didn't have enough to fill the fryer to the minimum fill level. There isn't a hash mark on the inside so I poured in an entire bottle of corn oil just to be safe. I'm thinking it could take 2 quarts and would probably work best at maximum capacity which would help keep the oil temps from dropping too quickly after adding a batch of tendies or fries etc.
>>14239677
Bosch Universal is pretty based. Models like the one you posted still auction for ~$100 or more if you have the attachments. I've been keeping my eye out for one to use for pizza dough and shredding chicken. The new ones sell for kike $500.

>>14240537
the only attachment I still have is the dough hook, probably because its the thing my mother most used, and its what I use most also, I wish I could make bigger batches with it (I normally need to make 20+ even on a normal day and 50 for birthdays) but other than that its great since I am nearly crippled and kneeding dough was a death sentence for me.

Most of it I found at local thrift stores or at the Goodwill. Some of it I bought at online auctions. I am fortunate to live in the deep South and there are a lot of local Christian charity thrift stores. It seems like there aren't as many pickers here and people are poorer so they seem to keep their useful stuff a little longer and maybe take care of it better than in California where I grew up. Most people seem to be browsing the shops for newer stuff and kids stuff and clothes, once in a while I'll run into another person hunting vintage items(probably to flip for a profit) but they seem rare. The appliances I picked up for maybe $2.50- $25 depending if it was at a local thrift or at an online auction. The most I ever paid for a single item was a Vitamix 4000 at $75 online earlier in the week. I am still waiting for it to be shipped though. I picked up a blue 90s Kitchenaid Ultra Power 300w tilt head mixer a few of weeks ago for $40 off of OfferUp or LetGo, I've been using it for tougher stuff like chocolate chip cookies which I used to mix by hand. Most utensils I paid under $1 for, the Dexter hamburger flipper was $0.50 if I remember correctly, they go for nearly $30 on Amazon. The Wheaton popcorn dish set was $4.50, the red Pyrex Hostess dish was $3, the West Bend bean pot with warmer was $13, the Nordic Ware train cake pan was $6, the French fry scoop was $1.77, the green leaf place mat set was $4, and we also got a couple of old quilts not pictured for $8 each. All said and done we spent maybe $100 on an all day outing and had a lot of fun. We probably picked up at least $500 worth of stuff if we were to flip it online or if we would have purchased it ourselves online. Including a book case that also isn't pictured that I got for $25. The day cost us less than maybe 3 trips to the movie theater and was more rewarding.

Lady made eggs. I made cowboy coffee on the new kettle.

>ITT: OP's grandma died last week or something
It's been about 2 years since my last surviving granny died, unfortunately they were both out in California and I hadn't seen either in several years. I had just talked to my dad's mom about a month before she died and we had a good talk. I had just been saved by the Grace of God and she cried as she told me that she had been praying for me since I was born. I have no doubts that she's waiting to greet me in the great bye and bye. I also look forward to meeting Johnny Cash.

>So, 50 years old and the motor's still that quality. They really do not make them any more like they used to. American engineering at its best.
I cleaned up around the buttons and aside from a couple dings in the paint here and there it is like brand new. Motor runs strong. I have been wanting an avocado green blender for years now and I was fortunate enough to happen by probably the most desirable model ever made. It really has a great style. I found an old GE commercial about the previous model on YouTube.

>> donut shop and ice cream
>I'm thinking with the name your sister wants to get, that ice cream/malt shop kind of makes a lot of sense. With your style and eye for detail and what seems like your family's experience in this area, I feel you're onto a winner. I'd definitely make a trip just to eat there.
It's going to happen. As mentioned mom had already been running the doughnut business in Easley for about a decade before the owner retired, and my sister already has a thriving local business. And there isn't another doughnut shop for miles and the nearest is a Dunkin Donuts about 10 miles away which is pretty meh tier. We just have to make it happen.

I have heard the Bosch is a workhorse. I want one specifically for dough. I used to be the doughboy at a local pizza shop(Mountain Mikes) when I was a kid and even the industrial Hobart mixers suck for dough and I'd still need to knead the ~50 pound doughballs by hand. I'd make sometimes 11 batches a day, it was incredible. My forearms were ripped after a year of that 5 days a week. Your dinner rolls look perfect Anon, do you cater or run a bakery or something?

>>14240723
no I only cook at home, but I have been baking for close to a decade now, started in my teens, doing catering is a dream for me but for health reasons I couldn't do it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9le93pztbU&t=1s
here is the recipe I used for the rolls, pic related is hamburger buns I made with a recipe from the same guy.

>>14240734
Your buns your great, thanks for the link Ill have to try those Japanese style buns for hamburgers. I'm not satisfied with the Sara Lee I have been picking up at the grocery store. They are decent but basically McDonald's tier. Pic related, my lunch.

Sorry to hear about your health issues, Anon. It's good to see that you're still able to bake.

>>14240653
Fucking great looking eggs. Are they over-easy? If so, what's her method? Feel like sharing?/

>>14241035
They're over easy.
She uses a small non-stick pan about 5 inches(125mm) across with a pat of butter, she fries one at a time. Then turns them with a silicon spatula.

Sorry for the late response we have been deep cleaning and rearranging the house to locate the new bookshelf and some of the other stuff we bought. I am trying to find all the cookbooks I stashed away in boxes, and of course the most important ones elude me. I have a couple of textbooks which go more in depth in regards to techniques than simply having recipes. Pic related.

Can you resize your pics next time

>>14242561
Is that the 1969 Betty Crocker Cookbook? Patrician taste.

>>14242629
Yes it is, it's also full of clippings and notes from my mom.

>>14220289
This is a comfy ass frendo

I'll literally spend time making pie dough form scratch and individually fill and wrap like 25 empanadas, but for some reason straining oil so I can re-use it is just way too much effort for me.

And I wish it wasn't because I hate wasting oil.

>>14227729
Oh yes, this is what daddy likes.

>>14228286
I love cooking stuff for my family, but my brother and sister in law wouldn't touch anything on the left side of that plate.

It's fucking infuriating. If they were like 7 I'd understand, but the fuckers are lik 26 and 17. If veggies have been cooked in butter and meat juice and even then you won't eat them, what in the fucking hell is wrong with you?

>>14238025
>and have magical thinking regarding how food cooks.

Boomers are fucking retarded when it comes to many things, but holy fuck do so many Millennials and Zoomers seem to take the cake when it comes to not knowing how the fuck to cook.

Yeah Susan might be technologically illiterate, but at least that bitch knows more than 3 goddamn recipes to make.

>>14240703
Oh shit no There's no way in hell I'm trusting 2 fucking cabin door hinges to hold up that big ass cast iron on the left, let alone the 3 ones on the right.

This is an accident just waiting to happen.

>>14242745
It was pretty good senpai.
>>14242754
It's worth it, especially if you're using peanut oil. Frying oil is supposed to yield better results the more you use it as it breaks down. I have also found that if you use peanut oil you can put it in the fridge and all the contaminants seem to separate to the bottom of the container as the oil solidifies.
>>14242776
I have been waiting for meat to go on sale so I can make another pot roast. Stupid Covid is keeping prices high. I love me some pot roast and veggies with sliced french bread buttered with Pat's of cold butter. Super comfy senpai.
>>14242794
I don't get it. The fast food places are more packed than ever and they have no worries about eating a Big coRona Burger. The old lady and I finally broke down and got Chick-fil-A after a while day of thrifting, we were too tired to cook and hadn't had takeout for months, since the virus strated to spread.
>>14242800
I've had that setup for years and it's fine. The big piaya pan is maybe 10 pounds because it's new shit, but my vintage cast irons aren't that heavy. They are made with better/denser iron with less contaminants which is thinner than the modern Lodge and cheap Chinese shit. And those hinges are old school American made overbuilt bronze and the cabinets are legit plywood. They're not going anywhere in my lifetime.

NC >SC and nine and mattman are faggots

>>14243028
>NC >SC
Visually speaking, NC is prettier. SC has much better laws and less government bullshit regulations.

I don't listen to the radio Carolinabro.
