Used cookware (Valencia Avenue, Sunnyvale)
Collection of five pieces of cookware (two for cooking and three for alternative uses): —The pot with the top edge curved inward is a vintage Guardian Service Cookware hammered aluminum pot, likely produced between the 1930s and 1950s. It doesn’t have a non-stick cooking surface. It is still usable for cooking. * Material: Durable, heavy-duty cast aluminum with a distinctive hammered texture on the exterior. * Design: Originally featured unique glass or aluminum lids and was often marketed door-to-door. * Features: Compatible with both electric and gas stovetops, featuring a signature handle design. —Calphalon two-quart, non-stick round saucepan with flat bottom and vertical side, one long straight handle, and one short grip handle. Dried oil residue but no wear on the cooking surface on the inside. It is still usable for cooking. The other cookware is non-stick, but the cooking surface is partially worn, making it not as safe to cook with. This includes: —One-quart and two-quart Calphalon cooking pot set, each with a with long handle and matching shapes (vertical sides). Wear of non-stick surface on both. —Cuisinart 5-quart, bowl-shaped cooking pot with two grip handles. Wear on the non-stick surface on the bottom inside. Since the one-quart and two-quart Calphalon cooking pot set, and the Cuisinart 5-quart, bowl-shaped cooking pot have worn non-stick cooking surfaces, you could find other uses for them. —The double-handled bowl could be used as a planter, as a pet or bird feeder or water bowl, as a countertop bowl for onions or fruit, or it could be filled with decorative marbles. —The matching cooking pots could be used as pet or bird feeders, to hold votive candles, to store items on a countertop or desktop, or could even be used to flatten dough for baking (since the outside surface is not non-stick) or to flatten putty for an art project. They could be used to mix paint. They could be used to pour water on a surface that needs to be cleaned.
