Today, you can buy all sorts of kitchenware and utensils from Ekco. Here are just a few of the hundreds of items available.
Bamboo Eight Piece Utensil Set
Bamboo is wonderful stuff. It is strong, ecological because it grows quickly and easily, and can be made into beautiful things. This set, which includes a container, a spaghetti server, two spoons, a slotted spoon, a spatula, a slotted spatula, and a set of tongs is no exception. The set is not only useful but it will make a decorative statement in your kitchen.
Vintage Hanging Kitchen Set
If you come across one of these, hang onto it! As the company turned toward the idea of kitchen utensils being ornamental as well as useful, hanging sets were intended to solve storage problems, keep the cook’s tools close to hand, and to serve as decorations. A set might include a wall rack, a slotted spoon, a large serving spoon, a pancake turner, a wire strainer, and a two-pronged fork. It is easy to re-create such an assembly from almost any department store today, and you just might find that the products are from Ekco.
Stainless Steel with a Floral Handle
Another style that Ekco produced was the stainless-steel utensils with floral handles. These included ladles, slotted spoons, regular spoons, flexible metal spatulas, and pancake turners. The floral designs often match enamel pots, which were also in vogue during the early to mid-1970s.
