I still use a Ronson electric knife I gave Mom for Christmas 1966!
Although the hinge is broken and now heavily taped, I still store it in its original case. Cord, though a little stiff, has yet to crack.

I bought a new 2 piece crock-pot at a yard sale traveling thru Ohio 16 yrs ago and it’s still going strong.

Actual crock pots were used generations before the electric product was introduced

My Mom used a pressure cooker with this round thingy on top that spun around and rattled....used to scare me that it was going to explode!

My wife made croc just last night!

Had to replace mine a couple of years ago. Plastic handles on lid and cooker turned brittle and crumbled.
Often put together a pot roast or stew (beef or venison) while coffee is brewing in AM. Quick, easy and the house smells good all day.

My wife uses one of those constantly. Now We have to learn to use the Instapot.

I use the plastic bag liners for them so they don’t need cleaning

[caww]

I had one of those in Cinnamon red.......along with Copper colored frig and stove..... when raising my kids. Those were certainly the days of joy and goodness in this country.

Mine are developing. Getting harder to get the wife to fetch me food.

Our Instant Pot (IP) sent the old crock pot into basement storage. The IP is so much faster and versatile that I doubt the crock pot will ever be used again by us.

LOL - for sure!!
