Delia is still using a frying pan that's 43 years old.

Can you beat that?

I have two white, opaque Pyrex dishes that I've had since we were married 36 years ago. The flower design on the side has faded but I still use them on a daily basis.

I have a slow cooker in good working order 32 years old.

I can beat Delia's frying pan no problem! I'm still using the metal egg coddler(complete with original lid) that my mother got as a wedding present,59 years ago in 1955!

I've a husband who is 57 years old, full of propane and nearly house-trained after a few decades of being kept in the house.
My husband does not have a flower design though.

[ummmm]

I have my nans peeler which she's had for a long as I can remember. They call them 'speed peelers' nowadays. I'm 40 so this peeler has to be at least 35 years old. I have 4 other peeler but none are a patch on this.

[Tilly2]

Fancy liking your OH to a utensil, Alba! Do you put him in the cupboard after use?

[shaneystar2]

I'm using the cutlery my late in laws were given as an engagement present in 1938 .Still got my Mum's old enamel bread bin which must be seventy odd years old .

[mccfluff]

My egg cups are part of a dinner service that was a wedding present some 80 odd years ago. The vast majority of the service is in the loft but they are the only egg cups I have and get frequent use.

[Tilly2]

Shaney, I think that frying pan is based on Delia's 43 year old one. You would think she had enough money, wouldn't you?

[Jeza]

I have a Clarice Clift tea set that belonged to my mother. I don't use it though which is why it is still in good nick. I don't remember her using it either Dad said it was too loud. I'm sure she said she bought it in Woolworth's a few pieces each week.

[ethandron]

I still have, and use, my late mums loose bottom cake tins which she received as a wedding present in 1938. My niece recently used them when she baked her own wedding cake.

[Tilly2]

is it the crocus design, Jeza?

[Jeza]

I can't remember the design Tilly. It's been in the loft since Mum died in 1988 and before that her loft.

[Tilly2]

That tea set is worth a lot of money, Jeza.

[tiggerblue10]

I have a pair of small scissors that belonged to my granddad. They are the only scissors I can cut my nails with. They must be at least 40 years old.

Eccles cake - crikey , how old are you ?

[jno]

I still have the cooking pot in which my great great great grandfather was boiled up by cannibals. I haven't the heart to clean it, but I still pop a long pig in it occasionally.
