LOVE IT! <br /><br />The line You spoke of got the wooden handles & branded only ECHO & then quickly moved to plastic handles. <br /><br />Then ECKO was bought out much later but Kitchamajig is still made & sold today. <br />Too bad we don't have many ppl interested in cooking all their meals at home much any more so not much call for all these grand utensils. Very sad.

It is too small to use for baking - but I keep bag-clips in it. You are right about the weight of things - a friend recently said she had to give up using her heavy Le Creuset as her wrists didn't have the strength for lifting anymore.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-9424904303515445142020-11-28T13:01:34.553+00:002020-11-28T13:01:34.553+00:00I love Pyrex - oven, microwave, dishwasher AND fre...I love Pyrex - oven, microwave, dishwasher AND freezer safe.

It has a very tight fitting lid, making it perfect for cooking rice, and is so light, something I'm appreciating more and more as I get older. I also have loaf tins inherited from my grandfather, who used to run a bakery, with long-lost brands of wholemeal bred stamped on the side, and fancy sponge tins with fluted edges that produce very decorative, scallop-edged cakes. They are so old they have a fantastic patina and never stick. And then there's my old metal fish slice which doubles as a cake server, so sharp it'll cut through most things. I've tried switching to plastic implements but it's just not the same. I wish I had someone as handy as your husband to refurbish it - after 70 years some of my implements are looking a bit the worse for wear.

The only possible retro kitchenware I have are two Pyrex mixing bowls; both were discarded by other people and picked up by my mother and I. I've found out that they are considered collectibles! But, I still use them all the time. Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.com
