Hello :) It's the weekend again and time for a good rummage around a car boot sale.
Today I am going to show you my little collection of old and modern kitchen equipment. I love finding basic kitchen tools at the bottom of a box or in amongst old pots and pans. Most of my collection was bought over the past 12 years from car boot sales.

I keep all my tools in a cast iron fondue pot. Choosing a weighty container prevents the whole lot toppling over.

AVictorian hand-held whisks. These were bought from the same lady and I think they are C1880/90. I obviously do not use them as they are rusty but I love them.

And another vintage hand-held whisk.

A few examples of other whisks. The wooden handled whisk (below) is from the 1970s and the smaller stainless steel version is modern.

This slatted spoon is a nice example of a serving spoon for scallops. It is only EPNS but it is very stylish.

I like salad/pickled onion forks. Here is a fork and a 1970's pronged plunger in stainless steel.

These are two variations on honey servers. The top one is called a honey 'twizzle' and the spoon is made for specifically resting on the edge of the jar.

These are olive servers both with drainage.

Two wooden tools. The large one is a pattern wheel for shortbread and the tiny wheel is an edging roller for pastry.

To prevent wooden tools from cracking, keep away from hot ovens or radiant heat.
Have a good time today. Look out for tiny mustard spoons, Tala icing sets and old scone cutters which bring back childhood memories of cooking with Mother.
Have fun!
