Club aluminum set from 1989 I got for a wedding present. Just used the large pot to make mashed potatoes in.

Oh ffs, I was going to say the same thing, except I don’t have a dutch oven. I also have a nice collection of carbon steel knives inherited from my late father in law and a Donvier. I’ll add my Mouli rotary food grater and my copper Revere ware.

I only acquired a Mouli rotary food grater a month or so ago at an estate sale. Decided that at $3, still in original box, I’d give one a try. (But haven’t, yet.)

Analon chef’s pan. I could get by with this one pan, if I had to. You can make anything in it.

A Fire King glass 4 quart mixing bowl in jadeite color that I found at a garage sale for $1.00 about 10 years ago.

I’ve always wanted one of those!!!
I use mine a lot, probably purchased in the early eighties, maybe late seventies.

LOL over your line 2: Sunbeam T-22 toaster.
I moved my mother’s mid-Century Sunbeam toaster to the country. D-i-l and I were talking while she was making toast. She absently dropped in the bread while talking and abruptly stopped mid-phrase. “What just happened? What happened to my bread?” She could not believe what she had just not seen.
Like a few of us, 70+ and going strong.

That video is amazing.
So is that grand old toaster!
We have a large Guardian Service aluminum dutch oven (I think) that was my mother-in-law’s and was made in the 1950s. My wife uses it to make chicken soup and yams (for Thanksgiving). Otherwise it just sits in the cupboard over our ovens. Not sure why but I don’t think it conducts heat as well as our Le Cruesets.
It’s better at conduction than cast iron. Not even close. Those Guardian pieces are great. Don’t let the styling throw you off. The 3-segment inserts are classics.
It looks like it should be carried by a knight in armor.
After I watched it, I went and looked at the vintage Toastmaster I got at a vintage shop last month to see if I could figure out what year it is.
Those are a bunch of classics. I loved the Henckels carbon steel with wooden handles.
