that’s amazing!! i am always afraid of asking for knives for my birthday and such.

Yea the batter is pretty sticky, it’s like nothing else!

These are solid, but you just can't beat the convenience of keyless chucks.

Same, she’s 91 and still going strong, we probably made 150 of them today 😂

I know all about it.

It has lasted this long because they have a 60W (or whatever) bulb running at 4W. You can do that just as easily with any new incandescent and also make it last hundreds of years. It will just be barely as bright as a candle just like the centennial light is.

The carbon filament garbage the article talks about has nothing to do with it.

If she’s Italian she’s probably making pizzelle’s. My Grandma is Italian and she makes them every year around this time.

I love your spoons. You really do need them to handle the resulting batter, it's not quite the same consistency as anything else in my experience. :)

My sister still uses the cast iron one our grandmother got from her mother, I think in the '40s.

My macs last the longest. It's your best option.

This is the recipe my Pittsburgher grandmother made every year that I still make. I think she got it from her mother. I found it after she passed in the box her pizzelle maker came in and keep it framed in my kitchen.

And she kept it in an immaculate state, if only I was this good to the things I own.

That is beautiful!

My grandmother used to make them by the pound when I was a kid. It's not Christmas without them.

Counterpoint - old (reliable) vacuums weighed a friggin ton. Grandma would call you up to come over and carry the vacuum upstairs so she could clean the top floor. As houses went multi-story, lighter vacuums became the hot item. They were made out of steel, now plastic.

They are even lighter now, because how else are you going to eat a bag of Cheetos when you vacuum. Consumers drive poor quality through buying behaviors, not manufacturers.

I can’t disagree with what you are saying about fixed angle and double bevel. If you need those things you either learn stones or buy multiple expensive electric sharpeners.

The Japanese double bevel 15* and VG10 is a fair compromise. I don’t feel like I gave up much with single bevel or different angles of sharp.

My post was specifically retorting the “removes to much metal” mind set that is so prevalent. You disagreed with me, then offered no words to support “removes to much metal”. You offer other good reasons why stones are better. Therefor I must disagree with your disagreement of my disagreement.

PS. But I’m still gona upvote ya.

I missed the part where you said they are sharpened once a year, lol

Good point. Though at this rate we’ll have these for most of our lives.

It looks very clean and well maintained. It’s mostly stainless steel. Why would it smell like anything?

I’m going to ask my friend for hers too, I’ll share it with you when I get it. See my comment above

I started off school with an HP laptop and switched to a cheap ASUS Chromebook after the HP started having issues. I did everything through Google's version of Microsoft office. The Chromebook was like $120 and I have never had an issue with it, even 8 years later.
