Inexpensive Kitchen Gadgets
A kitchen utensil is a handheld, typically small tool or utensil that is used in the kitchen, for food-related functions. A cooking utensil is a utensil used in the kitchen for cooking. Other names for the same thing, or subsets thereof, derive from the word “ware”, and describe kitchen utensils from a merchandising (and functional) point of view: kitchenware, wares for the kitchen; Ovenware and Bakeware, kitchen utensils that are for use inside ovens and for baking; cookware, merchandise used for cooking; and so forth.
Ownership and types of kitchen utensils varied from household to household. Records survive of inventories of kitchen utensils from London in the 14th century, in particular the records of possessions given in the coroner’s rolls. Very few such people owned any kitchen utensils at all. In fact, only seven convicted felons are recorded as having any. One such, a murderer from 1339, is recorded as possessing only the one kitchen utensil: a brass pot (one of the commonest such kitchen utensils listed in the records) valued at three shillings. Similarly, in Minnesota in the second half of the 19th century, John North is recorded as having himself made “a real nice rolling pin, and a pudding stick” for his wife; one soldier is recorded as having a Civil War bayonet refashioned, by a blacksmith, into a bread knife; whereas an immigrant Swedish family is recorded as having brought with them “solid silver knives, forks, and spoons.
A growth in the range of kitchen utensils available can be traced through the growth in the range of utensils recommended to the aspiring householder in cookbooks as the century progressed. Earlier in the century, in 1828, Frances Byerley Parkes (Parkes 1828) had recommended a smaller array of utensils. By 1858, Elizabeth H. Putnam, in Mrs Putnam’s Receipt Book and Young Housekeeper’s Assistant, wrote with the assumption that her readers would have the “usual quantity of utensils”, to which she added a list of necessary items.
