Philetus,
No, it's an electric frying pan with such a great temperature controller that you can braise an otherwise too-tough-to-eat beef shank in consommé in about 3.5 hours with the surface of the liquid never doing much more than trembling.

Most of these things are much older than 30 years, would say 1980s or 70s...

Roy,

That's the modern version - the original 35mm film cans were aluminum, with screw-on lids.

And speaking of lids....

#9 I still have this blender sitting on my kitchen counter, and it still works fine.

#12 Still have this, too, although I now also have one with a removable crock.

#27. This too, and I use it at least once a month.

Jeez...I have a lot of this stuff. I guess I'm officially old.
