Those aluminum ice cube trays were a challenge to operate, especially as a little kid. Even if you could pull the lever up, whatever ice fragments didn't stick to the metal typically went FLYING all over the kitchen. Plastic trays were a significant improvement. Although the early models were more brittle than those we use today and often had to be replaced every few weeks.
Along with many other things, I still have two that came from my grandmother’s house that she bought new. Lol I actually like using them for whatever reason!
My parents didn’t have a lot of money so our kitchen was simple but still warm and inviting. I still have my parents’ GE percolator from 1960….makes the best coffee you’ll ever drink. I use it most every morning ☕️! Name me one modern appliance that can last 64 years and still work as good as it did when new. There aren’t any!
When he said you just pull,back the handle and it releases the ice cubes 🧊, I said…maybe, if your hand didn’t get stuck on the metal handle or the tray. We had a wonderful childhood.
_my parents’ GE percolator from 1960….makes the best coffee you’ll ever drink. I use it most every morning! Name me one modern appliance that can last 64 years and still work as good as it did_ I 100% agree with your point here. Now-a-days, they're "saving the planet" by throwing everything into a land fill after 2 years. I want things that LAST.
I love Recollection Road videos! Videos like this fill me with happiness and sadness at the same time, in equal parts... I suppose those two add up to a longing. A longing for simpler times that I remember so fondly.
I'm 80, and if I could time-travel I would take refuge back in this bright era. However, knowing that we can't do that I think I will just trust God instead that He will see us who trust Him through these dark times to a brighter future.
give me a 40s or 50s kitchen any day!!!!! the 50s kitchen i grew up in had linoleum counter tops that matched the floor. durable!! that small kitchen holds memories of Christmas cookie baking/decorating, delicious meals made by mom, Thanksgiving turkeys roasted and ever so much more!
I have my parents' corning ware set and use it a lot. My kids did, also. Now my grandkids will when they get older. I love you mom and dad. Miss you so much. 😢 😪
I bought some tupperware fairly late, in perhaps the 90s. It's WONDERFUL stuff, such high quality ... when I die, this stuff will still be around Of course, my mom had Tupperware in the '60s, but I believe even then it was "expensive." (we were _not_ "well healed").
@@MVINCENT-e3t Being a young fellow back then it sure was exciting. Mom would have the entire living room decorated with treats, tea, coffee, and wedge sandwiches, and the women would dress as if they were going to a local dance. It was such a great time, and it didn't hurt that when everyone went home I would get my choice of what was left of the treats, and sandwiches. 😀
I still have pyrex, corning ware and tupperware from my grandmother. They had one of those tables with the aluminum wrapped around edges and had aluminum and vinyl chairs. Stuck to them in summer since they didnt have air conditioning.
I'm 66 but looking at these kitchens on this video really brings back memories. Every relatives house I visited and had barbecues or holiday gatherings at had a phone on the wall. Containers labeled to make pies, cakes, or cookies. Looking back them kitchens were very colorful back then.
The movie "Julia, Julie" was actually pretty good. AND, when I got to the Smithsonian in Washington DC, they actually had Julia's kitchen set on display for us to see.
No, it doesn't. We have cherry wood cabinets in our kitchen. Wooden furniture is earthy and helps us stay connected with nature while we're indoors. So do live houseplants.
I have that blue and chrome bread box and canisters. I have several hand mixers. Patented between the 20s and 50s. I only have two copper molds. I have a few German and American rivets. Use them during the holidays. I painted my cabinets that 40s cream and green. I love it. I love avocado green though.
My grandparents’ 1950s kitchen was a bright turquoise w green accents. I still remember the stained glass Coca Cola glasses. I inherited their kitchen table. My grandfather had gotten a marble slab from a soda fountain. They were replacing the marble with the new metal edged Formica/linoleum and my grandma designed a wooden base for the marble. Still has the bright turquoise utensil divider in the drawer. Love the video!
My husband & I stayed with friends in FLA in the 80s. It was Thanksgiving & I prepared the dinner (they were all batchelor brothers) I pulled out the cutting/bread board under the kitchen counter & they were astonished. "We never even knew that was there" one exclaimed. 😄
I remember the small Welbilt cooker, the white metal kitchen cabinets, the formica and steel table and matching padded chairs, and the canisters in brushed steel with black bakelite lids. The lids had "flour", "sugar", "tea", etc. in raised white letters, and the canisters were of different sizes. About the cooker - Mom could manage to fit a 24 pound turkey in the oven! Oh yeah, six iron trivets hanging on the wall. I wish I could have those trivets!
I love the decor of 1950s and 60s kitchens. I don't remember watching Julia Child in those days (I don't even recall knowing who she was until at least the early-to-mid 1970s), but I do remember watching the Galloping Gourmet (Graham Kerr) with my mom on weekdays in the early afternoon.
I know that Julia Child recently passed way. But what ever happened to Graham Kerr? Is he still around? Seems the Galloping Gourmet show lost its popularity in recent years. Probably because people were becoming more health conscious and began to reject the kind of dishes he did on his shows.
I love those butter moulds, and for the first time in my life I saw, just the other day, in the grocery store a pre-shaped butter mould in the form of a turkey! A great idea for somebody's Thanksgiving table.🦃💜 P.S. I still covet Samantha's stove / oven!
My dads parents house had the Aluminum diner set IN the kitchen proper. The linoleum floor had a gold base with black, red, and orange spots. Oh, those Tupperware parties. Yup, we had those pull trigger ice trays. We used them for years and years. Oh my Goodness. That (first) knotty pine photo, YES, my Grammy's kitchen looked just like that with the sink looking out over the driveway and the empty lot next door. But she had one of those pull out stoves, with the oven overhead. You could pull the cook top out to get to more burners. Grammy had one phone at the bottom of the staircase going up to the bedrooms. She had this piece of furniture that had a table top for the phone, a drawer for her phone and address books, and there was a seat to sit on while you used the phone. (When we moved to Florida) we always had a Yellow/.Gold wall phone in the kitchen. And I had a black rotary in my bedroom, long before cordless phones came in many years later. Do you remember when Julia was cooking a Roast, and she had it on a platter, and as she swung around with it in her hands, it FELL off of the platter, and ONTO the Floor. And then she says, "Remember. it's only YOU in the Kitchen !!" Do you know that I have 2 boxes of POP TARTS in my kitchen cabinet right now !!! he he he he
@@lindabyrtus857 In the Perfect Julia Child voice ... "Remember, it's only YOU in the kitchen !!" A housewife's greatest nightmare, dropping a roast she slaved over cooking, onto the floor !!
I still have the aluminum ice cube trays in my freezer. I have my grandmother's Tupperware and melamine dishes. I love my 40s pyrex especially the primary colors. I bought the 4 piece set for less than $20 during lockdown. 😊
When you see the row of Pyrex bowls on their own special display shelf in the first apartment kitchen of I l Love Lucy, it's actually the original primary colors set! When they moved to the next place they were all stacked inside each other on top of the refrigerator. Jell-O molds also had hooks on them to display on the wall as well! There used to be a common expression on question style game shows "Is it bigger than a bread box?" Haha!
I remember a couple more items that were meant to be decorative that went along with the cannisters. Those would be Cookie Jars and Salt and Pepper Shakers
We had the gold steel cabinets that mom refinished with a wood grain paint kit. She did a large oak buffet, table and chairs to match. When dad got home from work we knew to be washed up and ready for dinner!
11:35 My good friend, her 90-year-old mother lives in the SAME HOUSE she lived in since she was a girl ... and yes, she has a black phone with a DIAL hung on the wall in the "service porch" adjacent to the kitchen, TO THIS DAY. (I was there yesterday)
I was born in 1965 so my favorite was our snack bar! Our icebox was a green color and our oven was in the wall next to the door coming in from the kitchen. I guess I have lots of favorites like the Tupperware Mom always bought. And oh how I wish I could get some of what we used to have! Our kitchen and dining room were wood paneling and I miss that. Well the front room and hall was wood paneling too! Thanks for the memories!
0:45 "The 1950s saw an explosion of new home owners ..." My parents being one of them. They bought a 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a 2 car garage, and a nice back yard for $16,500.
I’m in the planning stage of redoing the kitchen of a new home to that 1950s-60s diner style thanks to Big Chill retro appliances. Kitchens designs now all look the same with no personality and originality.
I never saw one either. We would always buy our molded butter premade from the grocery. Turkey for Thanksgiving, tree for Christmas and a rabbit for Easter.
I grew up in the 60’s - 70’s and we had the aluminum ice trays. Mom still has them in her garage. 8:55 We had the built in oven with the broiler below, it was brown. 11:39 Grandmas phone, but in green.
The old linoleum floors needed to be waxed occasionally. Especially before the holidays. We kids were banished from the kitchen until the floor was dry.
I’m from the 70s, but most of those items were still hanging around the kitchen. Those aluminum ice trays terrified me. They were hard to pull because they were frozen with condensation. When they did release, ice was flung all over. If you ran it under warm water, your skin would stick to it. The metal had wicked sharp edges. At dinner time i would always beg off that it was stuck.
I hated those ice cube trays. They shattered more ice than having a good cube come out. I am upset that my sister took my mom's Tupperware insulated glasses. She is still using them 60 years after they were purchase.
The bottle opener for bottles and jars from 1956 back! Starting in 1957,twist off caps were being phased in right through the early 1970’s with soda bottles getting twist off caps in the early 1970’s and 99% of food and juice jars having twist off caps by 1970. This made bottle openers obsolete.
Formica became very meh by the 90s as it looked dated. I had one when I was growing up but my dad changed it to that fake marble stuff which is ok but it is what it is. We also changed our cabinets too as the old ones were waterlogged and rotting by the time we took them out. Linoleum was on the floor but cheap stuff, we tiled it twice as the first time somebody didn’t do it right and we did it the second time as a project ourselves. It turned it much better the second time around. We also replumbed most of the wall. A lot of work but we like the look so far.
Can you imagine kids today having to share the only phone in the house... especially when it was a wallphone hanging in the kitchen where everyone could hear? Hard enough for a 15-year-old boy calling a girl for a first date without the whole family listening.
As I'm watching this, I have an old metal tea cart which was in the kitchen when I was a kid. I use it to hold my printer, scanner, and router. It might be as old as I am (1965) if not older. 11:00 My parents had a Corningware coffee pot which was eventually recalled because the epoxy holding it together degraded from the heat.
I only knew 2 people in the 70s who actually owned a microwave. And it was the 70s before you actually started to see harvest gold and avacodo. First time seeing an iron trivit as well.
Today, designers have decreed all kitchens and cabinets shall be painted white with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances. There shall be no color!
3:30 Those teal on white Pyrex bakeware ... those were GREAT and were made to last FOREVER. I still have some of Pyrex from my dear departed mom ... it's 60+ years old and as good as the day it was made. I wonder what products made today will be as good in the year 2080??

4:47 That stupid ice tray with the handle to pull up ... OMG, those were awful.
And yes, we had them in the late '50s and up to middle '60s.
3:30 Those teal on white Pyrex bakeware ... those were GREAT and were made to last FOREVER.
I still have some of Pyrex from my dear departed mom ... it's 60+ years old and as good as the day it was made.
I wonder what products made today will be as good in the year 2080??
Oh boy, oh boy, a nice Jello and ham salad, what no tuna? 😬
Tupperware should have admitted defeat and just made all their bowls spaghetti stain colors.
Is that June Cleaver?
8:12 Doris Day.
I was deprived no fancy butter
I never worried about it. I just used the butter and enjoyed the taste of it fancy or not.
Does this channel have a moderator?
Not that I've noticed over couple years. Good question 😊
Kitchens were always too small. Eating areas were cramped in every house I was in.
We say aluminum! British says a-lu-min-i-um! Hmmmm 🤔
Not a fan of Jello 😂.
When I was a kid our kitchen was yellow walls, blonded birch cupboards, formica with chrome edge counters and pink wall tile backsplashes and a pale pink tiled floor.... awful
Checkerboard Linoleum durable and made mostly from asbestos.
still around without asbestos. i thought it was early vinyl tiles that had the asbestos. Linoleum was made from linseed oil.
@@lovly2cu725Yep. Linoleum is far better and safer than vinyl.
The Flair range was Sam's choice on Bewitched, as mentioned by the narrator right after I posted this. 😂
Tupperware went bankrupt a month ago.
I HATE Formica!!! And, electric ranges! Horrible to cook on!
I would never have an electric stove or water heater or clothes dryer. I want gas for every one of those appliances.
I now use Ghee clarified butter.
I can’t imagine a jello mold with fish in it. 😱
I guess you thought abusing Jello would appeal to everyone and show how cool you are. It doesn’t.
