hanikrummi hundursvin hmm ya learn something new everyday. What do you usually use it for? Sweets or do you make meat pies and such like on the channel?
Bravo Brian, and the blacksmith...and everyone😊👌👏. I am going to try a vegan 🌱 version of the baked beans👍. Editing to say the pear tart looked amazing too👌😋
Jon is proof that personality and knowledge can make anything interesting. I hated history in school, and I never studied American history, not being American, but I love this channel.
Back in school we had two really great and one really dull history teachers. Most aren't this lucky I guess. The funnest one tended to explain by gesturing, and since I'm dutch she ended up skating through the halls holding a broom as if its a firearm... (there was a dutch battle vs the Spanish where we ice-skate-shot them to bits and since that day the Spanish kept like 300 ice skates on hand lol)
I hated history in school too. Names and dates are impossible for me to remember. But how people actually lived, I really enjoy. And I’m Australian, so I also didn’t learn much American history, but I love channels like this. Another favourite channels are English Heritage and Absolute History.
I have to think that as we make a big deal about this oven, many people around the world are having a good chuckle. I 've seen videos of many people in other lands doing the same thing daily without batting an eye.
I love how the blacksmith guy just showed up with a handmade trivet, insanely cool! Hey, I'd like a couple of coat hooks, for my closet and a pancake griddle while your at it, can I pick them up in about an hour please? 🤣
hmm how did that work? would a Smith who made those things just have a selection of premade things in a storefront and you just go and buy them? or would it all be custom order?
@@Zach-h2l On the frontier it would be custom. Brandon the Blacksmith would also be building his homestead and wouldn't have taken the time to make things to sit in a storefront. In a village or town, the blacksmith would have time to pre-make common items.
In Germany there is this very old recipe called "Flammkuchen" which is basicall a very thin unleavened dough topped with creme fraiche, bacon and onions. Traditionally it was the first kind of thing you would bake in an oven just like the one John used. The Flammkuchen needs very high heat to make the thinly spread dough crispy and the onions just translucent so the really high temperature once the oven has been mopped is perfect for it. Once it cooled down you would switch to bread and pies.
@@billmiller4972 Definitely and they are truly fast food - the dough is easy peasy (no fermentation) and they only take a couple of minutes in a very hot oven.
Veronica Vatter yup, that’s a grater they sell for sure. Stephen Frizzell was asking about the earthenware jar that has the word “nutmeg” glazed onto the side and the underside of the lid has a grater built into it. I hope they do sell that! That would be really cool!
All old ovens did most of the time. There are very few things that bake with the fire still in, one of them being pizza, and if the oven is at the right temperature it bakes for only 2 minutes, you can see how that would be way too hot for most things
The place is looking more and more like a real 18th century homestead every week. All the people gathering around really fill the scene out nice. Have a good 18th century day. You will be ready to host your own 18th century event any day now.
You do an incredibly difficult and important task, and that’s to talk about common people and their day-to-day. I know how much work and research goes into finding out the monotonous aspects of common folk, and I hope all your fans appreciate how rare and difficult this all is, as well as the objectivity that goes into depicting American history without the filter of modern drama which we’ve attached to the past. I’m really grateful for the information you guys put out, it’s not a romantic or idealized version of history, it’s just what an average person like us watching would live as and that’s a delight to learn about in such an accessible format.
I thought that what they were doing. As it keeps growing and more people help along with the channel generating more revenue. I don't know how long that sort of thing takes but I could see the announcement in like 10 years (totally would go btw)
@@kozmikhero6749 Until there are sponsor integrations, the revenue from the channel is not as significant, alas. But the project is backed up by the chap's main business, which is the only reason why it is all possible.
@@StrangerHappened I don't know, but I had imagined this project was actually a part of the main business somehow, like it would be revenue generating beyond just RU-vid content and patreon
@@StrangerHappened Part of the point of this channel is (or was) to promote their store. So even if the direct revenue from the channel isn't much, I'd imagine it's still giving them a nice boost.
Oh my gosh! I learned to cook on an antique wood stove and we had to gauge the temp by how long we could hold our arm in the oven! I've never seen anyone else do this
How are you doing today Brigit ? Its really nice having you on here .. I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many levels. Trust, communication, loving, honoring, understanding, patience and respecting your partner. So crucial to provide balance. This is what creates such great chemistry between two people that are committed to one another.
I just found this channel a couple weeks ago but i've been watching the catalog backwards and it amazes me how much the quality of the production has grown over time. I mean... You have a homestead, a blacksmith, a giant oven.... Please don't stop. Greetings from Portugal
Wow! Watching them build an entire 18th century homestead from nothing has been amazing to watch. The amount of work, detail and craftsmanship that was put into this project for us to watch and learn is so amazing and I am so appreciative! I love Townsends!
This kind of backing with a preheated oven is very traditional in our countryside of germany. Here the oven is called "Backes", some milles from here ther is one still in operation every friday.
No better topic for a fine autumn day that this clay oven baked dinner! Brandon demonstrates Townsend's 'Just-In-Time' inventory system😜. Bryan has the ''great hands" of a cook as well as the mind for it. AFTER DINNER: a nap and then BACK TO WORK. 'We are BURNING DAYLIGHT here!' This reminds me a bit of Harvest Meals during Threshing periods on my grandfather's farm.
Sophie is so funny, just looking at everyone, tail wagging, with this look on her face “If I look exceptionally cute right now maybe someone will “accidentally” drop something delicious!”. So glad your first big meal with the oven went well, it looked amazing. The new trivet is also very nice.
How are you doing today miss Rapunzel? Its really nice having you on here .. I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many levels. Trust, communication, loving, honoring, understanding, patience and respecting your partner. So crucial to provide balance. This is what creates such great chemistry between two people that are committed to one another.
@@mackkindera5966 yeah I definitely believe that is the case for a good relationship, like the one I share with my partner who I live with and intend on marrying later.
its like that other youtube channel that I cant even watch because I just get so angry about the guy doing all sorta stuff on his farm that I so much dream I could but cant.
This Jon was a feast for the eyes. The food looked so good I could almost smell it. Thank you so much for another great episode on your frontier homestead.
I'm sure this has been answered already somewhere, but does anyone know the name of the violin melody that plays in the background to a lot of Townsends videos?
I really wish you'd break the illusion and use a laser thermometer on this thing at least once for us A thermal camera would also be really interesting to see
But why? What do you need exact temperatures for when every dish turned out perfect? Your hand and your arm are amazing tools for judging temperature, just do it a couple of times and you get a feeling for it.
@@Doctors_TARDIS I still don’t get why you want to know how hot his oven exactly gets. Isn’t this information completely irrelevant to you? If you want to know which temperature a bread needs, there is plenty information about it out there. I measure the temperature of my grill all the time with holding my hand over it and counting the seconds. It works extremely well and there is no need for an IF thermometer. If you really want to know, build an oven yourself and test it. No offense, but you don’t seem much like a „hands on outdoor guy“ to me, when you ask such questions.
Exceptional , I so enjoy your program, reminds me of the times when my Grand Parents who were Dairy Farmers from pennsylvania would cook and tell us Grand Kids old Quaker and Train traveling Hobo Stories of the past . God Bless! J...
thank you Townsend for making these videos.. A few of my friends do Renaissance festivals and civil war re-enactments and ive never really had an interest in either, you however have REALLY gotten me interested in 18th century life..I'd certainly miss the modern conveniences (such as plumbing and electricity) but im sure id manage..
Was having a bad day, but this wholesome content really cheered me up. I always love the cooking videos from this channel. Super interesting to see how that oven works!
having been able to walk a lot or move in geenral because of a bad hernia in my back after a work injuri for over 17 months, having you guys videos to watch have been one of the most relaxing things and things that have kept my sanity intact, thank you for all the great work you guys do Greetings from Denmark
Thanks for the Tuesday pick-me-up! Those beans look like my grandmother's. She cooked hers in a lidded crockery oven dish too. Mustard powder is a must!
@@warrenrudolph4475 Hey there, Warren! My grandma baked hers for a long, long time - hours. This was in a regular gas stove oven in her kitchen, so not outdoors, but she really took her time with her beans. How about yours?
Hi, Rose! I just learned the "secret" to the fancy ketchup my grandma puts in top of her meatloaf: nutmeg and mustard powder. It isn't your grandmother's beans recipe, but my grandma's meatloaf recipe was pretty old when she got it (the fancy ketchup is called piquant sauce and ketchup is spelled catsup on the recipe card).
@@jillianromick Oh that must be really tasty! Never heard of using nutmeg on meatloaf, but why not? It's even good on green beans. The all purpose spice!
I'm moving to the country soon. Will be building one of these. Nice job. As an engineer, I will probably install a temp probe to track temps. Really loving this series of videos. Thank you!
We, the general public, probably got the wrong idea imprinted that there's always fire when something's cooking. That's Hollywood. Whenever our family would have a barbecue, I kept being surprised that the meat wasn't going on untill the coals had burnt entirely.
I've been bingeing and rewatching a lot of your videos for the last few weeks. You're really making me miss going to events, particularly the eating and relaxing by the fire until the wee hours parts. Trying to put on umpteen layers of garb in a tent in the freezing cold while I need to pee , not so much.
Imagine people from the 25th century willingly forgoing their modern luxuries of teleportation, telepathy, cybernetic inhancments, etc to live like a 21st century era person with his iPhone 10 and Honda civic being all giddy for history like Townsend
We have a huge dutch oven at our homestead built back in the late 1700's and it still cooks perfectly today, Its basically the massive version of this one with its own built in roof. Its basically its own little building. Im 40yrs old and have been self employed my entire life. Its been a long 20yrs of 12hr days 7 days a week for the most part so im moving totally off grid to simplify life ans just enjoy this gift the lord gave us. Why work until you die, I always said for what? so im trying a different approach and i see many others are as well which says much!
The transition between from the blacksmithing to the oven was movielike. Amazing video like always. Y’all look like you have so much fun doing this, thanks for making awesome content!
With all the terrible content on the internet today you guys have risen to the HIGHEST level of authentic happiness provided by ANY channel! Thank you so much.
