More tools for every job (Part 5)

OK this one is easy. I know what these tools do, though I admit, kneading dough is not anything I’ve done. Well maybe in home economic’s class decades ago. All have bakelite handles, making them just a bit more special. First is an angle food cake cutter, ( like yours tucked away in your misc. tool drawer); a dough blender; and the very handy spatula.  Everything came to me slowly at Saturday morning yard and estate sales for pennies. And to think, it all started with a flour sifter.

    I have all of these too. The only one I’ve ever actually used is the spatula. But for the most part, if I find something for a few dollars and it has a Bakelite handle it’s going home with me! Love all of these.

    My biggest surprise is finding these 60+ years old pieces in such great shape. I guess these young brides didn’t do all that much baking.
