Old Cooking Tools Disappearing From Modern Kitchens

Cruet Servers

Perhaps not everyone had an extravagant set, but most households possessed some form of cruet servers. Before the vast array of store-bought sauces and dressings, oil and vinegar were often staples on the dining table. A set like this would have undoubtedly taken pride of place, adding a touch of sophistication and flavor to every meal.

Sugar Tongs

Tea parties and casual afternoon teas were once common occurrences. If you served sugar cubes, you would require tongs for a refined and practical serving experience. These elegant tongs ensured a clean transfer of cubes, reducing waste and adding a touch of elegance to any gathering.

Jar Openers

You don’t come across jar openers as often these days, and it’s unfortunate. They are incredibly handy tools (no pun intended). As we age, opening tightly sealed jars becomes more challenging. Thankfully, with this nifty device, you can adjust the clamps to fit any jar size and enjoy an easy grip handle for twisting. We still have one, and it remains one of our favorite gadgets in the kitchen.

Flour Sifters

While flour still comes in relatively large sacks, they used to be even larger in the past. Over time, all that flour would become compacted. Running flour through a sifter would aerate it, making it lighter and easier to mix. It was the perfect tool for making bread in those vintage toasters!

With countless kitchen gadgets on the market today, there are still some hand-powered ones. However, they are often no match for the functionality and charm of their old-fashioned counterparts. Cooking today is not quite the same as it was 70 years ago, and our kitchen tools reflect that change. What old kitchen tools do you remember seeing or using?
