Clever or Never? Antique Gadgets Tested | H2CT Ann Reardon

[@heatherangel9700]

Debunkings are great, but the bakes, old recipes, cake rescues and clever or never are where my heart truly is. Thank you for still blessing us old timers with these videos! I've been following this channel for close to a decade now, and so, so much as changed in that time. But Ann's bakes and laughter are, for me, like calm in a storm.

One thing I really like about the green bean cutter is how it is decorated. A lot of old gadgets has some kind of decoration, that doesn't affect the use and is still easy to clean, but it is not just boring, flat surface. And you can see it on everything that is ~100 years old, kitchen gadgets, buildings, furniture,... just a bit of decoration to make it not-boring. We should bring this back!

[@stargirl7646]

Decorations like the one on the green bean frencher would drastically increase the price. Yes, it's pretty; however, when an ordinary and perfectly serviceable bean frencher costs around 25-30 dollars, the price of vanity items can be a hard sell.

My mother used to be a housekeeper in a manor house when i was growing up. I used to go to work with her during the school holidays, and was always given jobs to do. Cleaning the silverware was one of them. They used to have one of those knife cleaners, although it was sat on its side, not flat like that. It could sharpen knives too. They were still using it in the early 2000's. Edit, i should have watched the whole video before commenting. I recognised all of those, and we used them on a regular basis. Especially the runner bean slicer! I have fond memories picking them from the vegetable garden and shoving them through that machine.

[@noodlechild666]

@@Rayne_Storms You'd have to ask the Victorians. Spongs were the manufacturer of the one im familiar with. I wonder if its simply down to the design of the utensil - a knife is easy to fit in such a device. Spong products generally allowed you to clean multiple knives at one time too. Anything to save a little bit of time. As these were designed for staff to use, i doubt anyone cared about hassle.

[@alaskansourdough7602]

The reason they made a knife cleaner instead of a fork cleaner was because in that era knifes were used more often than forks. In the 17th century forks were different, usually only 2-3 prongs that were straight, and were used for holding food steady while cutting. It wasn't until late in the 17th century that forks with four curved tines were developed (by the French I think).

I grew up using a similar style bean slicer, I grew up in the middle of nowhere and learnt to cook a lot of food on a old Victorian range in granny’s house (an old game keepers cottage in the middle of the woods). Even though it was the early 80s she still used a lot of the older kitchen equipment like the bean cutter, stove irons, butter pats etc.. she also thought me a lot of old style cooking which was seasonal and reliant on the farm, fishing (sea/river) and woods, that old range cooked food beautifully and the taste can not be replicated. She used tools like the bean slicer because it made handling large quantities faster (because they grew most of their veg it needed to be harvested and prepped as soon as possible, especially to keep it for the coming months). Batch cooking and full use of an animal or vegetable was drilled into us. Poverty and war had shaped a healthy mindset of waste as little as possible, and what food scraps were left would go back into the farm through animal feed. I have great memories of learning to cook on a stove that due to people being shorter in the Victorian period was perfect for budding young sous chefs, although I will never ever make brawn again, (it’s a fatty meat substance created by rendering down the meat of a pigs head through slow boiling for hours and ever now and then skimming unwanted foam from the boiling mixture) I still have nightmares of eyeballs floating to the surface! Enough of my memory lane, thank you for a reminder of a childhood favourite task (getting to use the machine over the splitter at the end of the peeler as a fought over task lol)

[@tookitogo]

9:36 I use nutmeg very infrequently, so I buy it whole because ground nutmeg loses its flavor fairly quickly, while the whole nuts keep for a long time. The cut surface of a started nutmeg may lose a bit of aroma, but just below the surface it’s full strength again. Like others here, I use a fine microplane grater.

[@k8lynmae]

Luckily so, as nutmeg too,often is dangerous and bad for health

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I too buy whole nutmeg and grind as needed. I also buy 2 types of whole cinnamon and whole allspice/ cloves etc... Luckily for me I can go to the Spices of India store and they sell samples of all their bulk spices for just about a $1usd. I got 5 beautiful whole nutmeg for a buck. The grandma behind the counter told me to buy whole spuces always and grate/powder/grind when needed they stay fresher/stronger longer. She also told me which ones to toast slightly first before grinding. She was so right. It also encouraged MD to try many spices/herbs ive never tried before

The nice thing with antiques is that generally speaking the ones that survive are the ones that are well-made and useful, so they have a much higher chance of rating a clever. Especially when you're buying at a flea market - if something was purely decorative these days, no reason why anyone would use it when there's been something better invented since and it's only valuable because it's old, rare, and pretty, that would probably be sold at an actual antiques store.
