My maternal grandmother had one of those meat grinders attached to the counter in her kitchen. I don't remember her using it, but it had a place in her kitchen. She might have used it for foods other than meat, but when my mom talks about the foods she remembers growing up, it's obvious that that meat grinder was used.

What kitchen tools did your mother or grandmother have? One of the tools I hear researchers reminisce about is the vintage meat grinder attached to the kitchen counter. Whether that is the tool you remember or something else like a cherry pitter, take some time to write what you remember and include photos. What do you remember from her kitchen?
Questions to answer in describing a kitchen tool include:
- What was the item?
- What did it look like? (add photos or online images)
- What was it used for?
- When did she use it? To prepare what foods?
- Is the time still in your family?
