These 11 Old School Kitchen Products Are Still The Best Around

As much as we love a shiny new air fryer or espresso machine with a touchscreen display, sometimes the best kitchen products are the simple, classic ones that have been doing their thing for decades (or even centuries). Old school kitchen products tend to be simpler and more durable — many of them have lifetime warranties, or last so long that they can be passed down to the next generation of home cooks. But which ones are the best?

Though some old-but-gold kitchen tools come with a pretty hefty initial investment (looking at you, KitchenAid stand mixer ), not all of them have to. From the luxe to the affordable, we’ve rounded up the best old school kitchen products with a little help from HuffPost editorial director and culinary school graduate, Kristen Aiken . Whether you’re on the lookout for your next pan, peeler or popcorn maker, these blasts from the past should last you long into the future.
