Can remember a family who lived across the street from us , must have been the mid/late 50s when cheap plastic products first came on the market , the Mother decided to make a potato pie. In those days the white enamel washing-up basin (used in a slop stone) served a duel purpose as a cooking utensil for pratie pie/hot pot .
needless to say the 'new' plastic washing up bowl did not withstand use in the oven and the fire brigade made a visit much to the merriment of the local kids .
