    Hi I am Ann Reardon, How to Cook That is my youtube channel it is filled with crazy sweet creations made just for you. This week I am making a 200 year old dessert apple tart with strawberry ice-cream that has bugs in it to colour it red. It is amazing how they used to colour food in the older days and make ice-cream without a freezer! Can you imagine living in Victorian times making butter from cream every day? So much work to make one dessert. Join me for creative cakes, chocolate & desserts, new video every Friday.

    The plunger style churn is known as a “dash” churn 😊 which would usually take 3 (Imperial) gallons.
    The one you have is a small paddle churn - that one is probably oak, but by the 1950s a glass jar with a paddle set into the lid was most common for household and small commercial use as it could be easily sterilised abd you could see when it was ready.

      Even back then there were a big variety of sizes of eggs with there being a variety of chicken breeds (why recipes both then and now might say "small" or "large" eggs) as far as I'm aware its less the size that has changed than the frequency of laying (we produce way more eggs way more frequently)

    • @helenanilsson5666
      @helenanilsson5666 3 роки тому +45

      AFAIK, the size of chicken eggs tends to change by the age of the chicken as well. Baby hen's first egg will be small with relatively thick hard shell. Then as the hen grows older the eggs will be larger with thinner shells. A local egg farm that sells some of their eggs directly from an old barn sometimes offers the smallest eggs for free or a very reduced price, since they're too small even for the standard small size bought in stores.
      But the breed of the chicken is probably even more important in determining the egg size.

      @@helenanilsson5666 Another big factor is the hens diet. As someone who owns chickens, some things you feed them, can make the shells thicker, the yolks a different color, and more. The age also does matter like what you said, and of course the younger hens I own do lay smaller eggs. (In the present ofc, and not a long time ago) The breed is a giant factor to the eggs. The chickens that lay eggs for stores, are all bred to lay eggs really fast, and have a extremely short life span, because they don't want hens who have stopped laying. As for other breeds, they will lay less, but live longer and have bigger/smaller eggs.

      IIRC the blue part of the cheese isn't actually mold, but a chemical reaction between the cheese and copper pipes or something... okay nope, I was wrong and the blue IS from a strain of penicillin mould. The same sort of mould that covers camembert and brie cheese, and is also edible.
      I'll happily eat the cheese with the edible mould in it, but there's no way in hell I'm touching the cheese with the maggots in it (casu marzu).

      @@lilithcrow6675 I would not like either of those tbh. I was just trying to find out if the kopi luwak coffee is safe to drink (since the casu marzu cheese can be very unsafe), but apparently it's fine once the beans are processed? The cheese is basically fly poo, like the coffee beans are the poop of the palm civet (or other animals they get to eat the coffee fruit). Apparently horribly unethical and illegal in most places too.
      There's just no need for using palm civets or maggots in food production, we've got plenty of other ways to make things safely and legally. I guess some people like the thrill of the danger and price though.

    Watching you churn that cream into butter reminds me of when I was in 4th grade. My poor teacher had us all shaking jars of buttermilk trying to make butter. We all found out that day that buttermilk doesn't make butter. But we did have a lot of fun and wasted almost the entire day. Miss Vetter was my favorite teacher for many years. 😂😂😂😍

    I love these old recipes and I can’t believe you got a 150 year old butter churner AND restored it to full use! So cool!
