Yep, my old crockpot failed :( disappointing because they tend to cook more evenly, but was told the newer ones cook hotter because 1) they work better and 2) it's safer. I've moved more towards the pressure cooker since both my old crockpots failed the testing kit.

Oh I by no means is the cast iron getting mothballed. It’ll still be used daily

why not both? all clad is a great BIFL option!

How do you recognize this as horse meat?

Italian beef? Osso buco? Ragu bolognese?

I knew him, Horatio! He may be (or not be) one for the ages but the crockpot is his legacy! 😂

My parents had that exact same one!

Thanks. These days I use a cast iron dutch oven since I retired and have the time.

Hey that's a nice looking roast of chuck right there 😤

Hahaha my last post was my alarm clock

People post photos of old alarm clocks a lot. I don't post mine, but I'm still using a plug-in digital clock radio that I received as a gift in 1978. It's been my daily alarm for almost 45 years.

The only things I have that are older are books. I have a lot of books I bought in the mid-1970s and at least a few that were my mother's.

Same.

I love my cast iron but am considering an All Clad pan

Hard for a well made crockpot to go bad. Just a heating element, a thermostat, and a mechanical dial. I have one older that yours.

Seiko automatic divers watch. 23 years and counting.

Based on the Reddit comments, the top three longest-lasting items are:

1. Cast iron pans: These pans are known for their durability and can last for decades, even over a century. They can be passed down through generations and still maintain their quality.
2. KitchenAid stand mixer: Many users have reported using their mixers for 20 years or more, with some even using their grandmother's mixers from the 1920s. The design has remained relatively unchanged, and the mixers are known for their reliability and longevity.
3. Leather items (e.g., belts, jackets, and bags): Leather products, when properly cared for, can last for many years. Users have reported using leather belts and jackets for over a decade, and some have even used leather bags for 30 years or more.

Swiss army knife I've had since I was a kid

Second place is probably my DeWalt cordless drill I've had for over 20 years (got new batteries later)

Third place is my car, 18 years, and no major problems yet (thank the gods)

I own a cast iron pan that was made before the U.S. Civil War. Gets used regularly.

Wow, from 1977! I can’t even get my beef to last a full week

Same. Mine was passed down from my grandfather, who got it as a wedding present. It’s the oldest thing I own and use it most mornings to cook eggs.

Wahl Balder clipper. Bought it about 20 years ago after got fed up with all other clippers failing on me. Been using at least twice a week to shave my head. That makes it around 2000 uses already.

taking the low hanging fruit here, but I use my cast iron pans just about everyday. They will last forever with care.

Fjallraven jacket, 23yrs old and still fine.

>You taking lightweight as somewhat flimsy is ignorant.

I accept that. Like I said, I don't know much about leather.

>And you keep mentioning back support. That's not a thing. Want back support? Buy a brace. Want a backpack? Get one.

Perhaps I've not been clear enough, let me explain. As far as I'm aware, the more "classic" Saddleback models have a thicker layer of leather where the back is, in order to support the inner contents and prevent deformations. This makes sense, since backpacks contain your things, and you don't usually want to feel them protruding against your back. This is what I meant by "back support".
