OLDEN TIMES
POTS & SKITTLES
SHEETS WARMER PAN
The pots and kettles,
skittles and frying pans, stood on 'legs', so that they could be
placed
on the hot coals of the
fireplace used as the kitchen stove. Later someone came up with what
they
called a 'toast rack' which
stood on it's own little spindle legs, a kitchen luxury that sat
near the fire.
Also found in the kitchen
was a shallow brass pan, about a foot in diameter, with a pierced
cover. To use it, one would
fill it with hot coals from the fire and thrust it between the icy
cold bed
sheet before jumping in bed.
