Natron energy hr12/30/2023 Non-kitchen clothes wringer (new scored on Craig's list) & rapid washer although I had made one from a new plunger, 3 sad irons (flea markets). Good sized collection of cast iron but would like to own bread pans. Bought a bread bucket (for kneading) new but I don't use it as much as I thought I would. We also own a grain mill (new$200 +), meat grinder/sauage stuffer(tag sale). But I would also want a hand cranked radio.īesides my collection of egg beaters, I have a salad master which cuts veggies in a different thicknesses or crinkle cut (great for prepping bushels of carrots when I can), a squeezo for tomato sauce( gift from an elderly neighbor), coffee grinder(part of hubby's dowery), & an apple peeler(new). If we were completly off grid I wouldn't mind having a victrola with a set of records. My fav being a pink number which matches my 50's kitchen. Owning one would be redundant since I already own 5 or 6 hand crank beaters. His comment was that it hardly took any effort at all. He said he tried the hand cranked blender. I have never seen a dutch oven like you described, now of course I want one.ĭH was in Gander mountain this week wandering around Rochester on his day off. Pants stretchers & the james washer came off my list & a rapid washer put on which I did buy. Actually seeing some of the items on my wish list help me decide on thier value. Insulation provided by silicone hot pads laid on top & all the holes plugged with foil. It needed some teaking to actually heat up to 350 degrees. The last non-electric do-hicky I bought was a Colman's camp oven for baking on my woodstove from Wally World (I had a gift card). Now I have canner envy due to thier new bigger version which holds 30 I think but is well over $200. I hemmed & hawed but as hubby pointed out canning 200 jars every season woudl go alot quicker done 15 qt. Even researched having a local metal shop make one. This was after years of looking at other alternatives such as resturant/industerial grade soup pots. The last & really only expensive new homesteading tool that we bought was one of those big Amish canner's from Lehman's. If the non-electric applaince is for food we strip it & use food grade paint.Īs for buying new well beauty & need is in the eye of the buyer in this case. For instance I restored a 1930's ice box replacing the packed wood shaving inserts with insulation. That said we do try to tweak them abit with modern technology. I would have to say that for us, the majority of our non-electric appliances come 2nd hand so they are the real Macoy so to speak.
