I love kitchen appliances. KitchenAid mixers are my favorite. I mean, they come in so many beautiful colors! I happen to have my Grandma’s which is 30+ years old. Yea, you heard me, 30 + years old! They don’t break. There are so many different types of appliances these days that it would be easy to fill an entire closet and still not have every gadget.
While searching through all of Grandma’s treasures, she showed me many different appliances from back in the day. They are quite different than the new and “improved” ones that we have. Although, I found it quite interesting that all of them were made of metal and glass while the majority of our’s today are made of plastic. Hmmm……I think I prefer the metal and glass!
Here are a few favorites that I found….

On the left you have the Kenmore Electric Mixer. This is just a small mixer that took the place of the hand cranked ones. In the center you have the General Electric Mixer. This is the big daddy….and let me tell you….it is h e a v y! And finally, the one on the far right is the Gem Dandy Electric Churn. Who doesn’t love a name like Gem Dandy?

All of these are electric and were the thing to have in your kitchen! Do you remember seeing any of these in your mom or grandma’s kitchen? Or maybe you have some of your own? If so, please share!
