Soap saver: before the invention of fairy dish washing soap or Dawn as they use in the states. Women used to buy SUNLIGHT SOAP which came in a huge block about a foot long and you cut off the size of piece you required. You would put a bit in your soap saver and swish it in a basin of hot hot water which melted the soap to the required soap to water ratio then you washed your dishes but always rinced them in fresh clean water to remove all soap residue. Sunlight soap was also used with a washboard and scrubbing brush for clothing. You could also scrub your floors with it. It is a multi purpose soap... you can still buy it today. XxX
You can still buy sunlight soap in Australia, but the swisher is long gone. My mother used to melt all the small soap pieces together in a saucepan, and new ones were unwrapped and left alone so they could harden in a drawer before use.
I still keep bars of sunlight soap handy! Great for quick and small laundry jobs. Especially handy when camping!
That reminds me of Blue Power from my home Jamaica. We use it for everything, dishes, clothes, washing up, home cleaning... etc.
I love that blue soap and can't buy it in the states. But it's okay. It feels more special and homey when I use it when I go home! Haha
@@catercoz2491 I think there is a new version on Amazon.
I love how they use to name everything "o-matic".
My sewing machine was my grandmother's. A Slantomatic 500. Works like a dream still!
Yvette is a beautiful name btw I’ve always loved it 🥰
It's actually "O-Mat" from a line of mostly manual household appliances made by Rival in the 1930s-60s. They also had the Grind-O-Mat meat grinder, Broil-O-Mat broiler, Can-O-Mat can opener, and the Steam-O-Mat iron.
used to???
@@Marcel_Audubon can't words for garbage
Hi Emily! I collect vintage kitchen appliances and your juice o mat is a NJ-848 model juicer. The NJ-848 patent design was produced between 1939-1946 so your juicer is from the late thirties to mid 1940s! I love old kitchen appliances cause they were made to last. I have a 1931 vintage oster blender that I still use and works perfectly and has a beautiful beehive base design. In my videos you see little peeks of the antique kitchen appliances I have, they are great and you got a beautiful piece of 1940s kitchenware!
chickenrotini thank you. I love old kitchen ware. Its look, its durablility, the vintage feel. Quality you will never see in modern appliances
Cheap Cooking Channel that's so interesting! By the way, I just checked out a few of your videos, and you've got a new subscriber!
I wish this juicer is still around. Such a useful tool
Looks like the kind of juicer from that old Superman movie when Clark had his tumb in it.
Looks like styling design
that soap saver would be fun with bubble bars from lush!
Solana GENIUS!!!!
@@kissycastaneda I totally agree
Yes!
mmmmmmmm - i have a couple of those soap savers -w ill try it with a bubble bar - genius idea - lol
None of my bubble bars or soaps actually sud and it upsets me
I inherited the hand press juicer from my mom. The best juicer and doesn't leave a single drop of juice behind. I am 58 years old. I had fresh squeezed juice every day from our naval orange tree outside when I was little. Excellent. We would peel the dry meat off the orange halves and have that as a snack. The chopper you used on the zucchini was used for nut meats, onion slices and such and would have been used in a bowl for convenience.
darian roscoe What do you mean by "the dry meat off the orange halves"?
danzr31585 the left over orange flesh after she has squeezed it.
My mom has a glass butter churner
I think that she should sharpen the knives of it every now and then too *cough cough*
@@irimac1806...My exact thought...Still think it's just a gadget with little practical advantage, but my knife skills are pretty good so I'm likely a bit biased. It surely needed a good sharpening at the very least.
I totally thought the first item(soap thingy) was for making s'mores over a camp fire🤣
B G me too! 😂
😂
me too!
I thought it was for roasting chestnuts
I thought it was for roasting nuts on a fire.
Never realized, until this video, that I had never seen a pecan still in its shell. Love the cheese grater, we have one like it. The Juice-O-Mat is awesome!
Well, hope you never get the joy of living with two 50 year old trees in your back yard over your power lines LoL. I never much cared for walnuts or pecans. I now loathe pecans. They are very weak trees and drop a LOT of branches.
I have one,it is great!
OMG....I was gonna same the same thing! At least, as far as I can recall. Same with hazelnuts w/shell. There's a first for everything 😊
Lucky you, they are a pain to crack open.
@@Shelleybean3315 same! You can't evdn buy them in their shell over here
I want that Juice-O-Mat!!
The soap saver was being sold until the 1960s. I had one but it got lost when I moved. You may have to cut the soap with scissors or a knife and soak it for 2-3 minutes in HOT water. Then swish it back and forth. Yes it really worked. Those were the days when NOTHING was wasted, even a tiny piece of soap.
Wire mesh versions still available online
I bought one in the 80s , you can still get them in more rural hardware stores. Not only for dishes but for hand washing clothes. You need a softer soap, we used Ivory Snow. Worked perfectly.
Looking for teacup yorkies
You could try a tea infuser with handle, not sure but it has similar design so it should work the same way
The one you used on the zucchini is a parsley chopper. My grandma had a similar one
razzmatazz1974
Lol at her using it for zucchini. 😂😂
We had a Mouli-style grater when I was a kid, used strictly for converting hazelnuts into nut flour for tortes. Cleaned out the parents' house and it had vanished, along with various other things from my childhood, given away by parents slipping into dementia or stolen by caregivers. Sigh.
Check flea markets and garage sales, sometimes they turn up at one.
Nasty damn caregivers. Sorry your childhood kitchen memories were taken like that.
Emmy, have you ever used a bar of soap for your laundry called Fels-Naptha? It's an old fashioned way to treat stains in your laundry. I love the stuff! It works when nothing else will! That first gizmo would be ideal for swishing the bar of soap around in your washing machine.
My mom had one of the graters when I was little. I used to play with it and it was a "telephone". Many hours were spent on the "phone". Wow a lovely memory. ❤️
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
you just brutally murdered a zucchini
thats a herb chopper your using on the green thingy
chris feltner it's called a zucchini (that green thingy) 😉
lol i know that. but to spell that not so much :P
Jeanette Marie it's strange, places like the US, Australia and Germany use the Italian name for it which is zucchini where as places like the UK, Netherlands, Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand use the French name, courgette.
Wayne Snyman, I’m either missing something or you’re guilty of your own pet peeve. You don’t want someone to generalize what you call a vegetable, but have no issue saying a whole population of countries and 1/2 a continent dislike another? And you are guilty of generalizing a countries hygiene habits.
I love these kinds of videos! And I absolutely adore you! Every single video you make I always watch the whole entire thing! And usually even if I like a RUclipsr I still won't watch every single video they make from beginning to end! But yours are always so interesting and informative that I just HAVE to watch the whole thing! Keep up the great work! Your awesome! 🌺❤️️
Lovelies like you are the best. Thanks so much for the support and encouraging words. 😊
I actually own one of those rotery graters. It's great at grating almonds for marzipan or grating anything that's too small to grate by hand.
Your Mouli grater would have been made of steel (or maybe tin for very cheap ones). Remember, aluminum is still a fairly recent addition to our kitchens. It was rare to see up into the '50s. This is one reason why "tin" foil is still used in common speech; the prevalence of aluminum in day to day life differed not so long ago, and in living memory.
In my home we use mouli grater to grind nuts for cookies or cake :)
Paulina Kubas I just commented the same thing!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I'm so happy to watch emmy, she has so many layers and categories of videos about food, kitchen, and recipes. I never get bored
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
The three bladed chopper is likely for herbs, rather like using a mezzaluna to create a fine chop.
Last gadget is genius!
Hi Emmy btw 👋🏼
👋
emmymadeinjapan hi 💩
We had a much older version, made of steel, when I was growing up.
We found the most awesome vintage kitchen tool while hitting garage sales one spring! It looked almost like a metal foursided cheese grater but it was actually a vintage toaster to be used with a wood burning stove or fire grate. We paid .25 cents for it, cleaned it up until it was like new, and used it when we would go camping for the perfect side to go along with our Dutch oven breakfasts.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I'm pretty positive that Emmy is the cutest person on youtube!
Rachel & Jun are pretty darn cute, too, but yeah, Emmy is awesome.
I agree! She's adorable as f*** 😁
I was literally just thinking how flawless she is....looks, voice, personality, demeanor.
@@Clintcellington Adorable as *uck?
Almost too cute. Are we sure she is completely human? Are the Japanese involved in genetic engineering?
Love love love this channel and emmy!
Yes! Love this series! And that juicer is amazing
I've never seen a video of yours but I can see why so many people subscribe. You have lovely way about you. I enjoyed learining about the old timey gadgets. Blessings to you and yours.
So excited I just finished part 1 and saw there was a part 2 I love baking and I'm in love with these definitely do part 3 please
love these videos about vintage gadgets!!! :)
Awesome video Emmy but that 3 blade/knife chopper you used on the zucchini, maybe it's for chopping herbs?
Rhys Williams I thought the same! Like a mandolin slicer but a push chop version.
I have seen it used for slaw.
Cut cabbage into chunks and place in bowl use chopper and shred/chop into small bits then add etc.(carrots apples raisins whatever )
It's good for breaking up ground meat in a skillet.
The chopper would be used on herbs or cut down veggies. Grease removers, in my opinion, are not very efficient. Pop your soup in the fridge and do something else for a while. Maybe stick some ice cubes in it (on cooled soup, of course). Grease comes off in a slab.
It’s for chopping shelled nuts, not veggies, so you get large pieces instead of nut dust. It may need sharpening a bit.
I'm in my 50s and my grandmother used the cheese grater to grate eggs for egg salad. It makes more of an egg paste, which is really nice. The old graters were a pain because if you didn't get them absolutely dry they would rust. After she washed and towel dried hers, shed put the gas stove on very low and put the grater over the flame to finish drying it. These style graters are also great for grating nuts and chunks of chocolate.
Love these videos Em - super nice to chill out to, and as always, informative and interesting!
this is such a neat series!
Beware of chipping paint with the vintage juicer! I believe they are known to have lead paint.
:( a shame they don't make those today out of stainless steal.
they aren't painted in parts that would come in contact with the citrus
I've had mine for over 25 years, picked it up at a yard sale for 3 bucks
I've used it nearly every day since I got it and wouldn't trade it for anything!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Just came across your vintage test videos and I love them already. I love collecting and using vintage items when I can and hope to surround myself with a mostly vintage lifestyle some day.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I remember actually using a Mouli Grater with my Grandma when I was a little girl. We used it for grating nuts mostly for recipes. I'm sure she grated some cheese with it too. I actually have two new ones now. They aren't Mouli Graters though. One is a Cooking Chef I believe and the other is Pampered Chef. They both have removable barrels, but they also have about 5 different replacement barrels. One slices and the others have different grating sizes from large down to micro graters. As with the Mouli Grater, they all can change around so you can use them with the right or left hand. They are very handy gadgets. I do think the Pampered Chef grater is a much better quality than the other though. I wish I still had my Grandma's Mouli Grater though just to keep around for the memories.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I love these videos PLEASE make more Emmy!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
so nice watching an emmy video now, been really stressed out from school :(
My mom and grandma had some of these except the grease "getter" and juicer. The chopper was used (in our case) for chopping cabbage and other things like that after it was cut. Not sure if that was the target for it or not. Remember using the grater when I lived at home. It was terrific and no knuckles were sacrificed. Easy cleanup too. We often had nut cracking around the kitchen table to have for baking. Not exactly like this one though. This was so much fun to watch.
This was so lovely and refreshing. I always feel relaxed after watching your videos. Thanks Emmy!
I've been watching ur channel ever since u had only 100,000 subscribers! It's amazing how much your channel has grown since then! Ur almost to 1,000,000 EMMY! So exciting!?
Thank you!
I think the triple blade chopper was more for things like lettuce & cabbage
deeprose4 my family has one and used it to slice up jalapeños for Chili!
RAVExDINOSAUR that's actually perfect so you don't acidentally touch some & rub it in your eye.
My mom had one of those when I was growing up. She always used it to chop nuts for recipes
I dont understand how the spring makes it better. Why not just 3 blades on a handle?
And herbs.
Emmy you are so wonderful I truly love watching your videos. You really go into detail with food and do your research for gadgets, and I absolutely love gadget testing as I love seeing how far we have come in technology. Keep up the amazing work!!!!! You definitely have a lifetime subscriber here!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Mouli also made a gadget that had 4 discs (2 for slicing, 2 for shredding) that would slice potatoes,, carrots, shred cabbage. Sort of a mechanical food processor, actually quite efficient. My father loved it, he would make fried potatoes all the time, & we loved to take it when we went camping, to make huge skillets of fried potatoes (Dad's fav food, lol). Easy to use & clean. I still have it, along with the rotary grater, perfect for hard cheeses. Most things were built to last back then
I love the Juicer. Have a beautiful weekend.
You too!
Soap bubbles & suddz are a new thing. In Europe you wont find nearly as many suddzy soaps. I'm not surprised that an old soap isn't causing bubbles.
My mom had the Juice O Mat when I was a child. I loved when she would make fresh grapefruit juice with it! She used it for making us Popsicles with real juice. She mixed the fresh squeezed grapefruit (sometimes orange/lime) with a light simple syrup (sugar water). They were better than any store bought. I still make them. I just got fancy and started making them out of hibiscus iced tea pops.
I remember my mother using the soap swisher when I was a tot (I'm 70 now). She used the same red bar soap they used in the movie The Christmas Story. I have the three-blade chopper (which I never use) and the Mouli-Grater (which is a great grater!).
We had brisket for dinner. You?
Chicken pot pie!
emmymadeinjapan roast chicken and mashed potatoes 🤤
Cheap instant ramen noodles. Because cheap noodles are love, cheap noodles are life.
*Cries while looking at wallet and lamenting life decisions*
emmymadeinjapan Ribs and salad
emmymadeinjapan cheesy toasts and coffee :)
Do they sell bigger sized juice-o-mat? Preferable the size of a head? Asking for a friend.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
they call those wood chippers ... best around a pig farm
Hafez Zahruddin Garden and Kitchen............. oh.
I am over 65 and when I was small my mother had a soap saver but not like that. I would love to have another one. It was green round plastic with a handle and it had an opening at the top where you could put the slivers of soap in- My mother was so cheap and she liked it too.
love these types of videos Emmy , 😊💖
The juicer and cheese grater were so awesome 😃
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I like my fat in my soup. Flavor. But that cheese grater. I want one. Very cool.
Herbert I was gonna say the same thing. Yummy beef fat in soup makes it so much better!
If you are canning soup you cannot have the fat in it (:
If you’re making something like beef stock then leaving the fat in while the beef is simmering can make the whole thing taste of lard. My old cookbook suggests separating the fat, using it to fry veggies for the soup, that way you don’t waste it.
Herbert 👋I have the sheesh grater but I use it to grate chocolate 🍫 over my deserts
Sorry I meant desserts 🍨
I love these videos! They are just so much fun to watch and guess what each item does. :)
pls do more of this old gadget series emmy! love you :)
thay look like a medieval torture gadgets lol
Or something from a kinky sex dungeon.
Did you sharpen that chopper before you tried it? It kind of looked like the blades were dull and could possibly have worked better if the blades were more sharp.
Thank you for the walk down memory lane. Some items I know and really fun to guess the others. Medieval torture devices really and most worked but others...oh lord my hands hurt. Like your jar opener...didn’t that hurt your hands using it? You’re genius idea fixing that chopper handle, I’d do that for comfort. You’re so much fun can’t wait to watch more. The biggest point to me is none of these require electricity so when the power goes out as long as you can see you’re golden!!! BLESSINGS OF LOVE
We had the skimming ladle when I was growing up. Very handy to have, especially when using the cheaper ground beef (higher fat content) in your soups/sauces. And honestly, you just didn't worry if you got a few drops of broth along with the grease because this ladle was so much easier than using a spoon to skim with.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I want the juicer and the grater!!! So innovative!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
That juicer reminded me of fallout
love these series emmy! i had a toy kitchen growing up and my mom would give me old kitchen gadgets to play with in addition. these are so nostalgic
I'm watching this with my Mum who remembers using the soap saver when she was young. She recalls it *only* being used in the bathtub to make a bubbly bath - not for dishes. Hand soap apparently never worked well for dishes.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
How do you not have 1 millions subs? :(
A lot of juicers you are supposed to put the flat side up, you should try that way cause you might get more juice.
she's using it right
the thing that the teeth smash the citrus into, only fits one way
I have one and use it all the time
I do believe that the EmmyMade I ever watched was your first gadget test & I was hooked. I enjoy watching & learning about these things.
I love these videos Emmy! Seeing all these vintage gadgets and seeing what they do is super interesting for some reason. 😃
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
I really want that fat separator thing. Can't stand pools of fat in my food
If you cool your soup the fat will congele and you can scouo it up. Alternately use a piece of bread to soak up the fat.
@@myXmasOldies I cool my home made broths before skimming the fat but you're other method of using bread, while it works, would not be a good thing for people with celiac design or glucose intolerance issues. I wonder if it would work on greasy pizza?
I thought the 1st gadget was supposed to grab noodles XD
Your smile really shine up my day, love your videos!
i am loving this series! you come up with some really fun and creative content.
Emmy, please consider captioning your videos for those that are deaf or hard of hearing. You can even choose the option to let your viewers caption them for you, sometimes in different languages. The channel Eat your Kimchi does this (as do many others) and I think they have fewer subs than you. Within a day their videos will be captioned in several languages. We would definitely help you out if you asked!
What a hassle to crack open some pecans! Just put 2 pecans in your palm and squeeze lightly. Fastest and easiest.
My great grandma would use the same hand chopper for her food when she was in her 90s. She would chop her salad and meats into little bites, so she didn't choke on large bites.
I just found you last night and I'm home sick binge watching. I love these videos and the cooking. A few summers ago we stayed at a cabin... anyway the kitchen was gorgeous with antique tools like these and I'd sit trying to figure some of them out lol.
Did that old soap have any smell to it when you got it wet?
It smelled like Ivory soap.
emmymadeinjapan Did it float? When I was a kid they used to advertise Ivory Soap as the Soap that Floats! Just wondered if it loses its buoyancy after 50 years? 😁🛁
R.I.P Zucchini - Killed by Emmy with the Triple Blade Chopper.
I love the vintage juicer. So easy to use and gets most of the juice out. I'll have to keep an eye out for one when I go thrift shopping. And the cheese grater, I already have a modern version of it, same style. I love it.
Yes! I've been waiting for this!
Hi. Doesn't it worry you drinking out of aluminium?
Pecan....pe-kawn sounds better than pee-can. The latter sounds like a waste disposal container
I really enjoy your videos. I love antique kitchen gadgets. They are so interesting
love these vintage videos :) we used to have a plastic mouli grater and had different spools for different results, large/small graters and julienne. No shredded fingertips when grating cheese!!
I don't understand it why does she not have a million subs i don't get it
We had the pecan seller growing up. You nip the two ends, then you go along the sides, grabbing so to remove the side portion where the two halves meet. Nip the outer shell on both sides, and pull it apart, a nut pick to get any shell out of the nooks & crannies.
Cool I have a few of those. The juicer is great lemonade my kiddos love it .
As a boy, I spent a lot of hours shelling pecans with one of those Texan pecan shellers (we had pecan trees). It took some practice to get perfect, unbroken pecan halves. And even after the outer shell was off, you still had to clean the pecans with a pick. But the nuts were really delicious.
I think its hysterical you're getting such joy out of things I still use every day!
Emmy! You are so calming and sweet. Your kids are very lucky!!
My mother had a Juice O Mat, it was green, and she used to make us orange juice on the weekends as a treat from the concentrate we usually drankl. It was so well crafted and did the job so well. It's gone with the wind now, just like my dear old mum.
I love these videos Emmy! So interesting to see what people though of as solutions to problems we maybe don't even have now. 😄👍
Hi Emmy! I live in Mexico and my two grandmas, from mom and dad sides, had the Mouli Grater thing, when they passed away, i rescued both of them from being thrown in the trash, i absolutely love them!
2:25 that little giggle was so cute!
Thank you for this video! Shortly after seeing this video, I ran across the juicer in an antique store. I was practically giddy when I made my purchase. I love it..!! Gets so much juice from the citrus that it will have a place on my counter for all my lemon squeezing!!
love your show i also collect vintage and antique kitchen stuff i find it a fun way to add decore
My mother told me about using one of those soap saver things when she was a girl. But they used soap flakes or chips- what you’d get if you grated those pieces of soap. Also, they swished it in very hot water to get suds. But that’s how they did the dishes before liquid dish detergent took over the market.
We have a similar chopping device still in my family for chopping onions.
But ours has a cylindrical "lid" around it and with every chop turns for a couple of degrees so there is no mess and it actually chops very evenly.
I don't use it in day to day cooking but it's great for very large portions. 😄
This is one of my favorite series of videos that you do!
The triple chopper was what my aunt used for mincing onions, hard boiled eggs and chicken livers for amazing chopped liver.
The cheese grater is not that old. I got one in the mid 70’s with 3 sizes of graters. At the time I thought it was very cool.
