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.
That's what I love about my office, nobody gives a shit. I work construction but in the office, so the majority of my coworkers are filthy smelly construction workers so i fit right in. Yesterday our accountant stopped by for some tax stuff and she brought a german shepard who spent half the day passed out on the floor. I can fart with reckless abandon.
@@KyrstOak as in “oops!,” since i know much was made of ethel’s other “work” as a “woman of comfort” that much of downton abbey didn’t want to be associated with her whatsoever, much less have her serve at a dinner or banquet.
When I was a kid, I used to clean our copper bottom pots with copper cleaner. My mom quit having me do that after I developed a horrible rash on my arm that wouldn't go away. Whatever's in that stuff, it's nasty. Points for Mrs. Crocombe.
I've found that ketchup will do a fine job of cleaning copper bottom pots. Put a layer on, and leave it for a few minutes, and the acidity takes the tarnish off nicely.
Actually, salt with that bread works better and doesn't scratch the finish. Just sprinkle in the salt and rub with the bread, voila! Clean skillet, no water.
I swear, everything in that kitchen is sterilized just from the heat of the stern looks she gives us when she lectures us on how to clean things. Makes me want to curtsy and tell her, “Yes, ma’am!”
Not only Mrs. Crocombe, but my mother, omg. Mamma is pretty much pure 1950's new england housewife (with a dose of 1960's hippie elite thrown in) , when she saw how a dishwasher left a relative's dishes during a family visit, she said "Absolutely NOT!" and instantly stuck me and my sister on dish duty for the rest of the visit.
Honestly, I think she'd appreciate the help, at least for washing the everyday ceramics and cutlery. "To avoid stains, it is vital that you dry off residue water. And I will NOT suffer you putting the fine china, the crystalware or the silver into the dishwasher." But yeah, my mom is the same. Tried to convince me that I don't need one, since I live alone. ... I pointed to both the fact that I own a washing mashine (remember Mrs Warrick's horror at these?) AND that I have a pathological disgust for dishwashing.
@@artinaam Yes! I have a domestic responsiblities and cooking book from 1908 and it advices recipes how to make your own cleaning products. Most of the recipes called for baking soda, glycerin and lemon juice.
I use ketchup to polish copper lol, I was building a cedar fence one day at work for a family that had a copper roofed dormers that they wanted to shine again, I remember I offered to polish them if I finished early and requested 2 bottles of ketchup to do so lol
Lemon - Salt was my great-aunt's go-to for cleaning pots and pans, and I use it still - soda + vinegar if I need to remove some burnt on bits. Still, I am always grateful we have soap!
I want a movie about the Servants at Audley End. I love these characterizations and the information about historical processes used by these day to day people :)
The maids wear them too to keep foods and dishwasher sludge from ruining their clothing. I'd need water proof ones tho. Im a definite sleeve roller upper -I can't wash or clean with my sleeves to my wrists. Lol. I'm sure I'd be called unlady like doing that in Mrs. Crocombes kitchen. lol
@confusing_social_commentar103they wore them anytime to protect sleeves, especially using flours or cleaning. It would be out of the question to roll up your sleeves like a field hand in a high end establishment like Audley House
I always wondered how they cleaned anything because I knew they didn’t have all our fancy new stuff of today. I wondered if the laundry cleaned them, and if that meant soap was used on food items etc When the butter churn was scalded in the other video I wondered do they just scald all the material equipment.
it's crazy how fast our image of cookware has changed. When i was a kid people couldnt give away their "old fashioned" copper and cast iron cookware because everyone wanted modern easy to clean teflon coated everything. 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". Now that same stuff is probably being sold in trendy hipster stores for ten times that.
@@1Thunderfire yeah copper prices went crazy when oil prices skyrockets after 9/11 and again after the housing market crash. Chinas massive building boom hasn't helped. When I started construction work in the mid 2000s copper wire was still fairly cheap and now I had to reinforce my wire room door and started keeping big dogs
@Alexandria School of Science Oh, I have a feeling that Mrs. C. notices and Mary Ann knows it well. It's just that respect, not verbal praise, is Mrs. C.'s love language.
My grandmother still used the old methods until she died in 1989. I grew up washing laundry by hand and putting it through the mangle, which I still have. I still use the old ways.
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. Hope this helps♥️
It's like this channel is reading my mind! Mrs. Crocombe inspired me to ask for a set of copper bowls (I've made the fluffiest quiches ever with their help), and while I've been fairly diligent, they needed polishing. I had copper cleaner on my shopping list, but I tried the lemon and salt method and they look brand new! Scratch a nasty chemical compound off the list!
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.
Growing up my Nonna had beautiful silver. I LOVED polishing silverware with her. I also really enjoyed taking out all of her crystal from China cabinet and polishing and washing the wine glasses, special platters and things. We would do it every few weeks. I loved hearing the stories behind all of the items she was so proud of.
I like the 'sleeves' she is wearing, a very good idea. I don't think I have seen those before in any period videos I have watched. Thank you Mrs. Crocombe.
The minute I hear the music at the start of this video, all my anxieties, and stress just washes away! Thank you for these amazing videos! We love you guys. :)
Of all the numerous times me and my man had visited Audley End when we lived briefly in the UK, we always seemed to miss out on Mrs Cromcombe and the rest of the household staff!
Of course there would be a video on how to wash up one day. Because what comes after every cooking session ......and then Mrs. Crocombe's shade on the industrial copper cleaning products :)) Wonderful video!
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!).
The hot water was not the problem, the concocted lye burnt the skin to the flesh. Try soaking your hands in hot Vanish ( Not!) and watch for results...
For those who said they want to be born in Victorian Era, your chores probably takes 3 days to complete in Victorian time. So be grateful you're not there

The chief lesson I've learned is that I'm deeply privileged to have a dishwasher.
AMEN to that!
Tbh I've lived in places with and without a dishwasher, and you do get used to doing the dishes by hand quite quickly. xD
Haha true , however , if owning such valuable china crockery, that can’t be washed in the dishwasher 😀
You definitely shouldn't put china or copper pans in a dishwasher.
I find I am just really grateful for my synthetic pot scrubbers. life is so easy with them to help clean 😀 (no dishwasher in my apt.)
The shade thrown at copper cleaner, can you IMAGINE how Mrs Crocombe would react to the modern dishwasher?
Exactly!
Not only Mrs. Crocombe, but my mother, omg. Mamma is pretty much pure 1950's new england housewife (with a dose of 1960's hippie elite thrown in) , when she saw how a dishwasher left a relative's dishes during a family visit, she said "Absolutely NOT!" and instantly stuck me and my sister on dish duty for the rest of the visit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But yeah, my mom is the same. Tried to convince me that I don't need one, since I live alone.
... I pointed to both the fact that I own a washing mashine (remember Mrs Warrick's horror at these?) AND that I have a pathological disgust for dishwashing.

For this recipe you will need:
Soda
Soft Soap
Hot Water
Elbow Grease.
Dont forget-- stale bread!
And lemons
And a few girls to help.
LOVE this post!!
And the salt
**AND SALVE** for those poor abused hands. A good salve is: olive oil, beeswax, lavender and calendula.
"i hope you learned.......................a little or something...." oh Mrs Crocombe, that subtle pause, the shade of all the shades.
Mrs Crocombe improves my mood by 20000%
Sound advice and proof you don't need harsh cleaners to care for your kitchen.

Mrs Crocombe's disapproval of the "Copper Cleaning Product" is Gold XD

I imagine the kitchen maids’ hands would be so ragged and cracked after all that washing in scalding water. Ouch!
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!).
The hot water was not the problem, the concocted lye burnt the skin to the flesh.
