I found a hand powered mixer, a full sized aluminum grater that you don't have to hold and try and grate and an old wood handled potato masher. I was surprised to find one of the items, a potato masher, seemed to have a coating of lead! I heated the metal of the potato masher on over the flame on the oven and sure enough some of the metal on the masher dripped off on some steel! So watch out for that kind of stuff everyone.
