Cooking Equip

[foamheart]

Don't ya just love when you find something you put up long ago and forgot about? Whenever I go rumaging in one of the barns or garages I find stuff that I either didn't know I had or that I put up so long ago I forgot. I found the old Westinghouse roaster like that, I found 2 jambalaya pots and one, HUGE gumbo pot (the kind the Navy would take pride in if there was no steam kettles), what I'll call a cracklin cooker cast iron pot, etc etc etc......

Yesterday in passing I saw a glint of something and wondered what it was. So i dug it out.

Nothing special, obviously not expensive, but I am thinking about now doing a fish fry so I can use it....LOL

I cleaned it and oiled it and checked all the parts and it worked as good as the day I got it. I now need to find a Boy Scout troop, a Church Group, or a tailgate party to need it. LOL

Its like long ago I hid these little things in the outbuildings where I'd find 'em later and be all amused playing with 'em.

I realized why it was out there, I mean there is no room in the house and the garage kitchen is full, and that sucker is getting heavier than it used to be.

Just thought I share.  Hope ya have a good Thursday.

Friend owns a pretty sucessful bar and resturant down the road and when I was a kid was helping in the kitchen working on something that was broke, I saw one nailed to the wall, with a HUGE plastic bucket under it. I always wondered about their fresh french fries on all their fried platters. Mr. Jimmy told me I could have it. He bought it thinking it would be a time saver but it didn't help cause you had to work your butt off the get a bucket full.

His was long with twice the stroke. Its should have been easy as butter. I went over and messed with it a bit, took it down and oiled the bronze wear bearing good and put it back up. Told Mr. Jimmy he might try it again.

Month or so later I went in with a date for supper and he picked up the tab. He always picked up the tab and was a fine man to me. Folks say he still had one of his first two pennies he made in business when he died, but he was always a great friend to me.

OH.... When I put his tater cutter back up after lubrication, I turned it around so you pulled the handle down instead of pushing up.... Never said a word about that though.
