17. Meat Tenderizer
Vintage meat mallets like this one look more like something from a horror film than the tenderizers we know today.
18. Aluminum Ice Trays
Before everything came in plastic, Grandma froze water in one of these metal contraptions with levers for easy ice removal.

Much like a pencil sharpener, grinders like this one from the ’30s clamped onto the counter and could be cranked to churn out ground spices.
20. Pot Strainer
These little gadgets sat atop pots to make it easier to drain water.
21. Potato Mashers
You don’t see these in most modern-day kitchens.
22. Vintage Pyrex Casserole Dish
Every Grandma had at least one of these. (Heck, we still have a whole collection!)
23. Soda Syphon
Basically the SodaStream of the ’60s.
24. Slicer
This handheld utensil features 11 sharp metal blades—to conveniently slice things like eggs and cheese, of course.
25. Baking Mold
Vintage baking molds like this looked a lot like a waffle iron—only for cookies.
