Just because something looks old doesn't necessarily mean it's out of style or doesn't work anymore. If you're a fan of the retro-inspired look, you know how addicting this trend can be, and we've been seeing vintage-looking gadgets everywhere recently. So if you're feeling like your kitchen could use a little update, don't go out and grab the newest and techiest thing; instead, look into some of this old-school gear. We shopped everything from a classic-looking popcorn maker to a state-of-the-art conventional oven that looks decades old. Shop some of our top picks that will give your kitchen a unique feel and get you in the mood to cook.
