How to Make a Kitchen Kosher | Transforming a Non Kosher Kitchen into a Kosher Kitchen for Passover

[@Stephypie831]

Hi friend! I hope you are well. Miss you greatly!! I hope you will upload very soon. The YT world is surely dark without your bright personality 😊. Sending love!!

[@artiek1177]

I love a clean kitchen. I always tell my non-Jewish coworkers that Passover cleaning is spring cleaning on steroids. 😂

[@frumitup]

Looolllll

[@devbyrnside945]

So true!

[@CAMWaite1]

I appreciate you not shaming the previous cook over the mess you found. Instead of doing that you showed excitement and glee over your cleaning experience. That was refreshing to me. Thank you for demonstrating how to properly clean an entire kitchen before Passover. Now I know how to create a clean kitchen environment for all of my Jewish friends when I want to invite them to help me cook in my kitchen. I won’t offend them nor embarrass myself by not properly cleaning the kosher way.❤ Passover blessings to you and your family.

[@clareu9539]

I agree! Wasn't this a lovely approach and a joy to watch? I feel excited to go over my own kitchen!

[@frumitup]

Thank you for your kind words @CAMwaite1 I think we all have seasons in life and some seasons are there and you feel you can accomplish everything and in some seasons even cleaning a kitchen is overwhelming and cannot be tackled : who am I to judge !

[@frumitup]

Aww thank you Clareu9539 🥰🥰🥰

[@CAMWaite1]

@@frumitup 1 more reason to appreciate you. ❤️

[@kalypso9256]

This might be a bit out of the blue, but I wanted to share something with you. I was raised without religion-in fact, I was brought up to despise it. However, I consider myself spiritual. Watching your videos from time to time brings me so much comfort. You’re such an interesting person, and I love watching your content. You present your religion in such a beautiful way that it almost makes me want to explore it myself. I’m particularly drawn to the tradition of going to the jewish bath/spa once a month-I think that’s such a beautiful tradition. Your content feels like a blend of ASMR and a loving mother’s voice, which is very healing for me. I’m also neurodivergent, and yesterday, I realized that I used you as a body double. My executive functioning can be very low at times, but your cleaning video helped me clean my house after months of paralysis. I even took a chocolate snack break at the same time you did! I just wanted to let you know that your content hits so many sweet spots for me, and I’m so grateful for you. Hugs from a 28-year-old woman living in Copenhagen.

[@tonylarussa4046]

I am not Jewish, but I believe your cleaning tips are good for anyone. There is nothing like a clean kitchen!

[@YT4Me57]

That was a most thorough cleaning. Any tenant, no matter their spiritual background, would be grateful to find such a sanitized kitchen upon their arrival.

[@zoraidabaez5001]

Hello I was just wondering where have you been me and my mom have missed watching your videos so much I hope you and your family are okay and I hope we will see something new from you soon your videos and your voice always have such a calming effect on me hoping that you will be back soon and sending you lots of love and blessings for me and my mom❤🙏✝️

[@saltedshell2925]

Rewatching...playing your videos while preparing for shabbat feels like community. Thinking of you and praying all is well. ❤ from Montana

[@rachaelhoffman-dachelet2763]

The people who own this rental are super lucky! I can’t imagine going to clean between tenants and finding new contact paper and so much spotless cleanliness.

[@snowwhitecupcakes272]

What surprised me the most was learning you can kasher your own kitchen! I thought someone had to be hired to do so, as is the local minhag here. You did such an excellent job! I am not surprised you did it yourself, as you are truly a humble individual who takes great care in providing a Jewish life for your family. I love your videos! They really speak to anyone, regardless of their level of observance or socio economic status. I’ll be honest, many KZbinrs are not relatable due to their 2000 sq ft marble, granite, perfect kitchens with 3 ovens and 3 dishwashers. Even though you are a doctor-you feel so real and humble. Your videos always make me feel better and allow me to become more observant. I never walk away feeling like I am “not enough.” I have a tremendous amount of respect for you!

[@Event_Horizon14]

Hi Sara! Just dropping by to say that I hope you and your family are doing well and tell you that you're videos are definitely missed! God bless you and hoping to see you soon ❤

[@satsmurfsmurfette6190]

I'm not Jewish, but I like watching your videos. Anyone could follow these cleaning tips, as all kitchens get dirty!!

[@peanutsauce2000]

Girl, you need a medal of honor after cleaning that fridge!

[@Ester.1977]

Yessss

[@smontone]

I love a clean kitchen. I was so surprised that boiling water was used to clean the counters! That kitchen is so clean now it’s beautiful ❤

[@MaureenDrees]

I love a clean kitchen. I appreciate your attitude so much. Instead of grumbling or complaining about having to do so much work, you look upon it as satisfying and almost a treasure hunt, discovering dirt that needs to be gone. Even with gloves, I’m guessing that your hands will need lots of lotion afterwards.

[@frumitup]

awww thank you Maureen! i truly appreciate your comment :) I try to put a positive spin even when i do tasks that are not so pretty to do ! And you are absolutely right, i do see it as a treasure hunt and every time i find something , i am so grateful this hard work has paid off!

[@English23lion]

What was most surprising ? Seeing a medical doctor do such a menial task! Where I live, doctors are very wealthy and would definitely hire someone to do this. You do a fabulous job, though, and probably wouldn’t be able to find someone as thorough❤ as you are!

[@frumitup]

i hear you, many pople have help at home to do these tasks, For me, These kind of detailed work , because they are related to keeping kosher, i would not let someone else do that work as i would always have doubts

[@Deep_Blue_Sapphire]

It wasn't surprising at all. You're one of the most down to earth and authentic people I've ever seen. I love you for who you are❤

[@theresatumidajski5219]

I suggest most doctors even today are men when have u ever known any man anywhere to clean this deeply!

[@lizziehoodfleming]

I don't see this as a menial task at all regardless of someone's profession. It is done for the love and care of a family, this is not something that is menial

[@VegaChastain]

@@frumitup I see why! When you removed the brackets in the fridge, I immediately thought, I need to do that!! Wow!! 😆

[@chadkaiser567]

You’ve given me some motivation to do a deep clean of my kitchen. I’m a hospital based RN in South Florida where there is a large Jewish population. As a non-Jewish person, I want to be respectful when working with people who have traditions different from my own. I find your videos to be educational and I love your inspirational message at the end. Thank you for sharing!

[@madmorrigan664]

Not Jewish but completely addicted to your channel!! You have a wonderful, soothing voice and fantastic recipes and tips. I have learned SO MUCH about Sephardic Jewish culture, I love it!

[@SallieB196]

I didn’t know about food residue and unleavened food products from appliances making things non kosher. As a Catholic I love watching your videos. I’m motivated to get my chaotic life in balance and making faith present in my tasks. I would love to be kosher in my kitchen as part of cleanliness habit. Love your positivity! Stay blessed !

[@robinwetzel3314]

Wow! That was totally thorough. Most people don't think about cleaning that deeply ever! I was totally impressed.

[@Celticgirl81]

I’ve missed you, felt the need to rewatch

[@ChicagoChicago27]

We miss you… rewatching. Your voice is so soothing and love your videos! Hope you are well!! Post soon 😊

[@gloriastone3211]

I love a clean kitchen! What was surprising to me was pouring the boiling water on the counters to make them kosher. How satisfying it must have been to see this kitchen so clen and shiny after your hard work Sara! Blessings to you and your family!

[@frumitup]

thank you so much Gloria!

[@BeeLane-qr9fn]

Sara, we would never put you in the background ❤.

[@frumitup]

you are so sweet! I like putting the youtubers i like in the background when i clean : it is like listening to a friend thank you again for being here! xoxox!

[@heyfuzzycub]

Would you mind giving examples of KZbinrs you like? I trust your taste :-)

[@JG-gb3lm]

Yes, I would also be interested in knowing what KZbinrs you listen to. Many thanks 😁

[@lynnegordon6749]

Your laugh when you found the spice jar was delightful. I love a clean kitchen too.

[@crp5591]

Holy smokes! Management company did a terrible job enforcing / doing a proper move-out clean after the prior tenant! Wow!! As a property manager, I make sure that an apartment (specially the appliances) is / are spotless for a new tenant, doing exactly what you did in your video (minus the kosher requirements of letting it rest / followed by the heat treatment). I am not Jewish, but I love your channel for learning about Jewish culture / practices. I always learn a lot! Thanks for the awesome content!

[@anonymousw721]

I love a clean kitchen! I remember as a child and teenager going over to my Oma's house with my family to do DEEP spring cleaning. My sister and I were in charge of cleaning everything from the counter top down, my mom did everything from the counter up and Opa and Dad worked outside.

[@lawalkyrie4051]

I was surprised about the pouring of boiling water on the countertops. I just might listen to this again when I next clean my refrigerator or other disaster zones in my kitchen. You put a spin of satisfaction and a feeling of refreshing renewal in making a mess disappear. Thank you.

[@courtneypollard2770]

I love a clean kitchen .....but now I am thinking about how dirty mine must be even when I think it's clean. 😄 A good thorough cleaning session is theraputic. There's such a feeling of accomplishment when everything is totally fresh. While cleaning it's fun to think of how I can do the same within myself. Where is muck hiding in my mind and soul?

[@Sariraleah]

I'm learning so many tips.I never cleaned my house this way.

[@inthekitchenwithangelalee]

Oven rack hack is to put the racks in a big black trash bag. Spray them with cleaner and seal it for 20 minutes. The gunk slides off so easy! 😁😍. Thank you for this helpful video.❤

[@MGrace-16180]

“I love a clean kitchen” yes. This is so beautiful.

[@onemercilessming1342]

We are not Jewish, but in the 1950s, my mother cleaned her kitchen like this every Friday after the evening meal, sometimes continuing until after midnight until she was finished. In the 1950s, a refrigerator had to be defrosted, and this was part of the weekly ritual.

[@daniellejones2962]

The 1950’s, my mom had me do this in the 90’s, as a child. Watching this video, took me back to those days, but also got me thinking, I need to go back to this, cause I sho nuff laid this type of cleaning to the side.

[@adom6750]

I luv watching your videos! It helps with my jewish learning. I just discovered a year ago that I'm a Sephardic jew.

[@DioneN]

I’m not kosher but did you want to come deep clean my tiny kitchen? That was so thorough and satisfying. And I saw those little wormies from under the stove😝

[@motherofbeagles8532]

Most surprising was pouring boiling water to run off the counter because I have wood floor in my kitchen so I was like Nooooooo! But seriously I love your videos. I am inspecting my produce for insects using tips from your videos 😊 I am not Jewish but I don't want to eat bugs either! And I love a clean kitchen ❤ we love you and hope to see you soon

I love a clean kitchen. My oh my, that was a lot of work for you! 💪 But you nailed it. 👍 As I am not jewish I don’t need to clean the way you did and I‘m not ashamed to say that I‘m glad, because I am not a good housekeeper and never was. I love watching your videos because I love listening to your voice and I learn so much about your very rich religion and culture. Thank you for all the insights you give to us! 😃

[@kathleencasella4703]

Sarah, you are an inspiration to me! Thank you for teaching us how to be better keepers of the home. May G.d bless you and your family during your observance of the holy days.

[@kerrimccracken8866]

This video was amazing. The thing that surprised me the most is that you clean everything again with heat after you finish the deep cleaning. I learned a great deal. Thank you.

[@maryschmertz6561]

Oh, wow! I have kashered my kitchen many times but nobody ever showed me how to do it properly. Thank you! I will have a much better Pesach this year!

[@gerishoop6989]

The most surprising to me was pouring the boiling water on the sink and counter tops. I never would have thought that step was necessary. I admire your stamina for doing this level of cleaning, you made me tired just watching.

[@miriam8026]

Pouring boiling water is the easiest and fastest way to sanitize any sink

[@kohakuaiko]

​@@miriam8026 agreed. My mother has a hiss-fit when I do it because she thinks it will melt the pipes 🤦🏼‍♀️.

My new favorite cleaning tool is the Magic Eraser - phenomenal

[@user-th8qr2re3n]

I liked that you explained the absorbtion of non-kosher into surfaces. Although certainly aware of how bacteria invades these surfaces, it was so interesting to think about it from a kosher kitchen perspective. Excellent cleaning! I am Swedish and we have a real obsession with cleanliness. Thank you for sharing so openly and with such a positivity.

I LOVE A CLEAN KITCHEN. ❤ Absolutely loved this, like I said being in wheelchair it is harder to clean as I struggle with pain. But my husband and kids do try, but its not how I used to do it so I do get anxiety over it. But do my best to teach my kiddos all I know. The part that shocked me was leaving the hobs on for half an hour to cleanse. But I suppose it does make sense. Certainly learning alot xxx

[@frumitup]

your kiddos are so blessed to have you to teach them and prepare them for this part of their life! may G.od always protect you and bless your family xoxox

[@lindabudzik9583]

I LOVE A CLEAN KITCHEN. As a Christian, I had no idea the depth to which you must go to prepare for Passover! Over the years, I have heard some of this, but it was fascinating to see all the steps. What surprised me most? I guess that you cleaned under and behind appliances-areas where your Kosher food would presumably never touch! This ritual takes Spring cleaning to a whole different level. Thank you for sharing this video. 🕊️
