What are some actual BIFL kitchen items?
Pyrex, Anchor Hocking and Fireking, for glass bakeware. My Nordicware microwave popcorn popper probably is 20 years old. It's a square, conical shape interior. Wooden prep and cooking spatulas and spoons from an import market. Nothing fancy, they're often 3-5 to a bundle. I've got some which are 45 years old.

What's the oldest thing you still use daily that works like new?
**Oldest item without moving parts:** I'm a chef and a lot of my daily-use mixing bowls are from the 1940s-1960s. I don't know which one is the *oldest* oldest, but probably a Fire King mixing bowl from the late 30s. **Oldest item with moving parts:** I have my great-great grandmother's rolling pin, which I'm guessing is from somewhere between 1890-1910. I generally prefer to use a tapered French rolling pin, but her standard baker's pin still works just like it would've 100+ years ago. **Oldest electrical item:** Late 1990s KitchenAid Artisan mixer. It's a little more beat up than the other items, but I bought it refurbished so it was never going to be pristine. It's still better than any KitchenAid you can buy new. **Oldest Internet-capable item:** My 1st generation Kindle Paperwhite purchased in 2012 is still going strong.

What is your most unintentional BIFL item?
1. Plastic Moulinex salad spinner purchased for 50 cents at a thrift store 40 years ago. It was probably nearly 10 years old when I bought it. It’s ugly and loud, but it works! 2. Crock-Pot. 42 years old. Basic as can be. Doesn’t get much use these days, thanks to an Instant Pot. 3. KitchenAid 5 quart mixer. 42 years old. Built like a tank. (To be fair, this was a pretty intentional purchase, lol.) 4. Fire King Jadeite dishes. I purchased a large box of plates, saucers, cups, and bowls at a church jumble sale 45 years ago. Of course, they are older than that. I was just starting out in my first apartment, had very little money, and they were a bargain. I had no idea at the time that they were collectible. Used them daily until a couple of years ago when I began to worry about breaking them.

Etched Glass Measuring Cup Set
Yes, do this. All of my AH/Pyrex/Fire King have come from Goodwill. $2 is the going rate.
