The rebirth of 1970’s kitchen gadgets
April 28, 2013 by LindsayAccording the The Guardian, 1970s kitchen gadgets are making a comeback. And we must say, when they started listing the gadgets, we had to agree they’re right. Among the ones they list are:
- Sodastream – Jamie Oliver’s recent tribute (along with Lorraine Pascale’s), created an 85% sales increase for this gadget which allows you to easily add carbonation and flavors to water to make homemade sodas (Jamie made sparkling wine).
- Standmixers
- Breadmakers
- Steamers
- Hostess Trollies
They also listed a “teasmade” which seems to be a nifty little bedside device with an alarm clock and electric water heater that allows you to enjoy your first cup of tea before getting out of bed.
While we were contemplating this list, another one occurred to us – the Vitamix. Commercials for the Vitamix were ubiquitous in the 60’s and 70’s and they’ve made a comeback with the new emphasis on smoothies and health food.
So are there any retro appliances that you’ve rediscovered? To quote that illustrious philosopher, Yoggi Berra, it’s déjà vu all over again.
