Kitchen appliances from the PRL period came mainly from Polish production. Housewives were proud owners of pans, Predom mixers and "Ewa" cookers by Wrozamet. The meat was minced with an indestructible hand grinder, and a peculiarly shaped pan was used to make the sweets.

It is still used in many homes today. I have this machine till today. There is a joke that the only element that can be damaged when using such a razor is the table to which it is attached. My mother always told my father, when you screw, put a cloth under it, because holes will be made in the table. In the home kitchen, the meat grinder was also used to grind other products: cottage cheese (e.g. for cheesecakes), poppy seeds (e.g. for poppy seeds cake called makowiec), cooked vegetables, etc. Until now, it has been used - after using appropriate overlays - to form shortbread cookies, which then it was also made of greaves, i.e. melted pork fat.
