      And as well you should, keep a sharp eye on oneself, being judged is never an issue being found short of what is expected can be an issue. The kitchen is no place for being short yours and your families health depends on clean and safe.

      But yeah, my mom is the same. Tried to convince me that I don't need one, since I live alone.

I remembered once going to a garage sale and trying to get my dad to buy a box of cookware that included some copper gadgets like these, copper pans, and copper pots for like 40 or 50 bucks and he said "we dont need that old garbage".

    I’m Mexican and we make a dish called Carnitas. We use a HUGE copper pot over a burner but once we’re done using it I clean it with hot soapy water. Then I dry it thoroughly and next I use Tapatio Hot Sauce all over the inside of the pot. It removes absolutely EVERYTHING! All you do is dab all over let it sit in the hot sauce for around 3-5 minutes and rinse away 🙂 The copper is so beautiful after the chili does it’s job. The copper looks almost pink after.

    • @amartini51
      @amartini51 3 роки тому +6

      Typical "hard" soap is fat and sodium hydroxide (lye), and maybe some salt to make it harder. If you use potassium hydroxide instead, you get soft soap, which is also good for washing clothes. Historically, you'd soak hardwood ash in water to get potassium hydroxide.

      I think at that time, the dairy maid may save some buttermilk after churn butter to relieve the chaffed hand due cleaning & hot water... or some girls maybe already use some cream on their hand every night. at that time, they already had some cream for skincare regime, so maid use cheap cream is maybe already establish

      Your hands get used to it. I work on a horse yard and I doubt much of our cleaning soaps have changed from Mrs C's day. My hands aren't soft, but they aren't bleeding either. They're also really clean from the saddle soap and hot water (no Covid here!).
