PapaSop Sounds like my strange thing where I do not like to wash my coffee cups with soap if I can help it, just a through rinse. I know that sounds strange & unhygienic, but I have always been like that & as far as I know, never got sick over it. Of course I used one cup for over 30 years until Margaret broke it. I had another just like it for 10 before that & the same thing happened. Hopefully this one will be it.
calldoctoday This is my coffee cup, I have had it for over 35 years, it might get washed once a year, just rinsed or wiped out the rest of the time. I always worry that I will drop it sometime and break it. Notice the company on it, they are long gone and the brewery is now on the National register of historic places and only 30 miles from me. I visited it regularly to get free beer.

johnsbrewhouse When I was younger, my Grandma liked drinking Olympia in their little 6 oz cans. She said she could finish one before it got warm.

Drank some myself back in the day. Was cheaper than a 12pk of Coke.
One mug I have got chipped somehow, had to retire it, not to the trash, but to a display case. Just can’t get rid of a gift I guess, especially when it has meaning. -
I inherited two of these from my grandmother but this one is in good condition. They used these for steam canning back in the day. The original patent is 1907 and they were built for twenty some years. Certainly a depression era appliance. I’m excited to do some cooking on this on top of a wood burning stove. The bottom is copper and the body is a heavy tin with a double walled door.
Water can be added without opening it up via a funnel up top and the funnel will whistle when getting low on water. It can be used to can or steam food or just to create a stove top oven.

RafterW very nice I can’t wait to hear about your first cook on it.

RafterW Glad you have a venue where you can use. Have some fun with it.
