Now that stainless steel is all the rage I have even more appreciation for the vintage aluminum containers in our kitchen. Inherited from my mother-in-law, we use the cake pan to store bread and the canister for coffee grounds (not sure what that was for originally). The aluminum adds a retro metallic note to the kitchen but isn't as shiny and harsh as stainless: it's stainless steel's more modest cousin. And it reminds me of the ice-cold aluminum tumblers my Southern Ohio grandmother used to serve lemonade in during our summer vacation visits.
