Fridges and freezers can be smaller as our supermarkets large or small,are integrated with housing areas. We don’t have to buy weeks worth of food at the same time,we just pop to the shop if we need something.
Yes, the washing machine is often in the kitchen, although in these times - perhaps less and less. However, even though we have a dryer too which is wonderful - especially during the Winter or on rainy days, many of us still have a washing line outside in the garden where we hang out our washing (using wooden pegs) on dry or windy days throughout the year. There's something nice about the fresh air smell of laundry when dried on the line. It dries quickly too. Love from the UK
Remember our houses are small so a big fridge freezer is goting to take up a lot of space, also most stuff is within walking distance so doing an extra food shop generally isn't that time consuming or hard. Personally i shop pretty much everyday so my fridge freezer hardly gets used.
i have a washing machine in my kitchen. my old one would move itself when i put new flooring in. my kitchen has a toaster, blender, kettle and microwave. i do have oven and a hob too.
smaller houses because we are a tiny island the size of Ohio with 65 million ppl and our infrastructure and towns were designed several hundred to a thousand yrs ago so naturally we don’t have the room and this explains many many things including smaller cars and washing machines in kitchens etc..
I have US cups and spoons for any eventuality! Meh.. Michael Ruhlmann's Ratio book. Works on the principal that the items in your cake are different weights depending on the weather/storage/moisture. If you measure by weight as you cook, your cake will always be perfect.. Washing - I have a dehumidifier for cold days, otherwise that stuff is going out to dry - but my machine is so brilliant, it's all almost dry when it comes out of the machine! Just use a drying horse to dry on totally when needed... No dryer here!! That costs too much money!! The dehumidifier also deals with stopping mould in the house (my house is on the former line of a river, so yeah, it's damp) so that machine is fantastic. Girl, fridge in JA just hold a few slice of watermelon and nothing else - they just use up power!!! KMT.. A smaller fridge in a smaller space-- less wastage, use up what's there!
Those yorkies look great !! If I'm at home, the kettle gets used every 2 hours for a mug of tea ! Unless you live in a large house in the UK, your washing machine will be in the kitchen, because that's where the water and drainage is. We don't call it a STOVE. We call it a COOKER. That's a NORMAL sized fridge freezer !
The reason electric kettles are popular in the UK, but not so popular in the US.... other than the tea thing obviously.... is that all sockets in the UK are 240v, while in the US, those kitchen sockets are 120v, which means that they have around 1/2 the power... and so take more than twice as long.
Some time ago, I worked in an office block in England (security), every night a crew of Jamaican women would clean the offices, but what they would bring with them is chicken, not just any chicken, never tasted anything like it before and never found anything near to it when I retired, such is life.
Mash potato with Sunday roast? NO! Roast potato's. Peal the potato's then boil them until they are soft when you put a knife in them. (don't over boil them otherwise they will fall apart) Put them in a baking tray in the oven with parsnips that were prepared in the same way & roast them until golden brown & crispy. They will be crunchy on the outside & soft & fluffy on the inside........Yummie.
I rented a place in Spain, and the landlord and landlady ripped out the bidet (no one uses them anyway), and installed the washing machine using the already existing plumbing. It was a tiny flat, but not an inch of space was wasted.
Laundry in the kitchen makes no sense to me, and I've never seen it outside of Britain/Ireland. Personally, I wouldn't have the space for it there since my flat isn't that big; smaller homes makes for smarter solutions, and I think having to store some kitchen items outside of the kitchen because you have a washing machine there isn't one of them. For some reason, Britain doesn't permit electrics in the bathroom, but there is where we'd put the washer.

Island Girl, I'm gonna send you a couple packets of Yorkshire Pudding mixture so you can taste them at last! I think you would be able to use a muffin tin to make them?
Why send a packet of Yorkshire Pudding mixture, which tastes nothing like the real thing and would get you shot here in Yorkshire when there are only five ingredients in the recipe all of which are readily available in Alaska. 200 grams (about one cup) of all purpose flour, 3 eggs, 300ml of milk (around 1 1/4 cups) pinch of salt and oil or if available beef fat for cooking. Put flour and salt in a bowl then stir in the eggs one at a time, then slowly whisk in the milk until you have a batter with the consistency of cream. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins or preferably overnight. Heat your oven to 430F then add your oil to your tins and place in oven for 5 minutes. (the fat should be smoking). Add the batter to about 3/4 of the way up the tin and put in oven for about 30 mins until brown and risen. Really simple no need for the mix in a packet.
I bet she threw most of that fridge stuff away because it went out of date. The thing is in Britain because we live in close proximity of a Supermarket/Grocery store, we can get fresh produce on a daily basis or every two to three days, so we don’t have to buy in bulk like you do in America.
I've just spent half an hour watching a Jamaican in Alaska watch a Canadian in Kent explaining things that I already know all about.
Bwahahaha!! Yeh man! Londoner here, Jamaican parents. Her videos make me laugh so hard!! (I admit to speaking English and Jamaican..)
Yeah!!!🧐but it wasn’t bad🫶🏼
😂😂😂
She is very entertaining 😂
Our Island Girl laugh is so contagious and she has a beautiful energy to her that makes it impossible *not* to watch any and all of her videos ❤

I love measuring cups, a good thing to have in the kitchen.
My mother had a Butter dish back in the 1970’s to 2000. My Mum’s Mum had a Butter dish too.

I don't know ANYONE who doesn't have a kettle (or some people are installing instant boiling water on tap too...). Every hotel room has them.
Those Thatcher’s Ciders are what you Americans would call Hard Ciders. Each can has 4.8% alcohol.
You can also get Alcohol free ones as well.
I have a Coffee mug that I bought from my first job when I was 16, now I'm 47 and it's still like new.

English mustard is lovely used sparingly as it's hot
There is nothing better than a Cup of Tea in a *Bone China* cup or mug.

Mango chutney - hmmm, with samosas and onion bhajis, OK withthe "big crisps" (popadoms) too.
Most of us here in the UK are with you on the MUG of Tea 🤘

I guess that Americans don't actually bake, they buy stuff ready-made and filled with all kinds of chemicals.
Those 'muffin pans " are called CAKE TINS" !!
alot of things is small in the uk cos of the space
In US recipes they refer to a stick of butter What is a stick lol

UK houses have a standard power of 240v. This is why electric kettles boil so fast. It is also why electric sockets are not allowed in bathrooms.
