Dear Ms. Jude, please come back! I miss your sweet voice, and the realistic scenarios you display in all your videos. I especially like this one, and have tried it, but using a Rubbermaid bin, towels, and pillows. I’m really enjoying using this on days when I’m away for a long while, and it always works wonderfully. Thank you. Best wishes from Ontario, Canada.🇨🇦🍁
This is such interesting wisdom and knowledge- thank you for sharing this technique with us. I saw the term in a PDF about ecofriendly and alternative cooking methods, using less wood as fuel and being able to cook more with little fuel. This shows that our ancestors knew much of what we're trying to learn already... Thank you again
I remember my aunt putting cooking pots in her bed, tucking them in with several layers of blankets. Not sure if this was to finish cooking or just to keep things warm - as a child I wasn't that interested. This video is very helpful, I'm building a hay-box right now, the energy prices are just too much for my budget. Thank you!
Hello Panbaneesha. I spoke to some-one a weekend ago who said their mum did exactly the same thing. Used the bed as a HayBox too. the wartime advice for saving fuel can be practised today in very much similar ways.
@@utilityjudeswartimecookery2250 Thank you for your answer. I found an old German cookbook to help me - it's from the first World War, and while the haybox construction in there is a bit more complicated than it needs to be in my opinion, it has a lot of recipes and cooking instructions. In case anyone is interested, it's called "Die Kochkiste" (Ida Bock, 1918), and it can be found as a free digitized version on the internet.
My Grandma told me about using a haybox during the war and after. She was a fabulous, frugal cook.:) Your lovely voice reminds me of her. She emigrated to Canada as a child, but kept her British accent and vernacular. :)
@@utilityjudeswartimecookery2250 Yes, it's very old, the haybox. I know it was used on farms in the US in the early 1900's as well. We need to relearn the old ways, they might be needed one day!
I’ve just discovered you and will work my way through all of your videos in chronological order night and tomorrow. You’re wonderful! If you haven’t already done a video on the hay box fruit cake, I would really love to see how to do that!
If you didn't use all your meat ration coupons in one week, could you get double meat rations the following week? For instance, if you were saving up for a birthday dinner or something.
I'm still experimenting with new recipes for my haybox. This is my latest:1 part pasta,3 parts milk, (here you are eyeballing the quantities you would use to make white sauce),butter,flour,salt,pepper,mustard powder,herbs de provence,clove of garlic crushed,tomato puree(enough to give a decent flavour and colour),frozen prawns. Or for vegetarians peas or sweetcorn would work. Tip all the ingredients into your stewpot. Bring to boil stirring occasionally. When its really boiling up place it in your hay box for 4 hours.stir well. Heat up if necessary.
Is it best to use cast iron, enamel ware, aluminum, or crock style pots and pans in the hay box? Is the one you are using a enamel ware aluminum? What about crock style or metal type bowls for puddings and such? Cakes?
This should be mandatory watching for anyone facing fuel insecurity. Instead of a lovely box like yours, one can use a camping cooler and old towels.

I wish I sounded a bit posher....
Your voice is lilting and lovely! Thank you so much for the diy my British & Scottish grandmother's might have used💞🤗
The first "slow cooker"! Love it.
Yes, and needs no electricity when in use. Goes back to the First World War at least.

Now I know what a haybox is! My old man mentioned this without going into the details. Thanks! Regards from Argentina.
cat materialises precisely at dishing up time!
Every time!

I'll make sure I do one of this Monique.
Picking plums from Mrs Tucker's garden 😁
What a well behaved cat you have!!
I inherited him from my mum! He is adorable, unless it's 4.30 am and he's scratching the furniture to wake me up for food!
You look exactly like my great grandmother. The hair, the overall and the kitchen!
I've heard of the haybox but never saw one. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing. This is very useful.
Thank you. They really are superb. Everything that comes out of them tastes delicious.
What a wonderful video! Love seeing what the haybox can do.
Thank you. I'm going to do some more recipes in the New Year from the Hay Box.
Just love this!!
I'l be doing another haybox cooking recipe later on.
Hi Jude, thank for sharing your recipe using a haybox.
