hanikrummi hundursvin hmm ya learn something new everyday. What do you usually use it for? Sweets or do you make meat pies and such like on the channel?
Bravo Brian, and the blacksmith...and everyone😊👌👏. I am going to try a vegan 🌱 version of the baked beans👍. Editing to say the pear tart looked amazing too👌😋
Jon is proof that personality and knowledge can make anything interesting. I hated history in school, and I never studied American history, not being American, but I love this channel.
Back in school we had two really great and one really dull history teachers. Most aren't this lucky I guess. The funnest one tended to explain by gesturing, and since I'm dutch she ended up skating through the halls holding a broom as if its a firearm... (there was a dutch battle vs the Spanish where we ice-skate-shot them to bits and since that day the Spanish kept like 300 ice skates on hand lol)
I hated history in school too. Names and dates are impossible for me to remember. But how people actually lived, I really enjoy. And I’m Australian, so I also didn’t learn much American history, but I love channels like this. Another favourite channels are English Heritage and Absolute History.
I have to think that as we make a big deal about this oven, many people around the world are having a good chuckle. I 've seen videos of many people in other lands doing the same thing daily without batting an eye.
In Germany there is this very old recipe called "Flammkuchen" which is basicall a very thin unleavened dough topped with creme fraiche, bacon and onions. Traditionally it was the first kind of thing you would bake in an oven just like the one John used. The Flammkuchen needs very high heat to make the thinly spread dough crispy and the onions just translucent so the really high temperature once the oven has been mopped is perfect for it. Once it cooled down you would switch to bread and pies.
@@billmiller4972 Definitely and they are truly fast food - the dough is easy peasy (no fermentation) and they only take a couple of minutes in a very hot oven.
All old ovens did most of the time. There are very few things that bake with the fire still in, one of them being pizza, and if the oven is at the right temperature it bakes for only 2 minutes, you can see how that would be way too hot for most things
I love how the blacksmith guy just showed up with a handmade trivet, insanely cool! Hey, I'd like a couple of coat hooks, for my closet and a pancake griddle while your at it, can I pick them up in about an hour please? 🤣
hmm how did that work? would a Smith who made those things just have a selection of premade things in a storefront and you just go and buy them? or would it all be custom order?
@@user-zr9hu3tf1y On the frontier it would be custom. Brandon the Blacksmith would also be building his homestead and wouldn't have taken the time to make things to sit in a storefront. In a village or town, the blacksmith would have time to pre-make common items.
Veronica Vatter yup, that’s a grater they sell for sure. Stephen Frizzell was asking about the earthenware jar that has the word “nutmeg” glazed onto the side and the underside of the lid has a grater built into it. I hope they do sell that! That would be really cool!
The place is looking more and more like a real 18th century homestead every week. All the people gathering around really fill the scene out nice. Have a good 18th century day. You will be ready to host your own 18th century event any day now.
You do an incredibly difficult and important task, and that’s to talk about common people and their day-to-day. I know how much work and research goes into finding out the monotonous aspects of common folk, and I hope all your fans appreciate how rare and difficult this all is, as well as the objectivity that goes into depicting American history without the filter of modern drama which we’ve attached to the past. I’m really grateful for the information you guys put out, it’s not a romantic or idealized version of history, it’s just what an average person like us watching would live as and that’s a delight to learn about in such an accessible format.
I thought that what they were doing. As it keeps growing and more people help along with the channel generating more revenue. I don't know how long that sort of thing takes but I could see the announcement in like 10 years (totally would go btw)
@@kozmikhero6749 Until there are sponsor integrations, the revenue from the channel is not as significant, alas. But the project is backed up by the chap's main business, which is the only reason why it is all possible.
@@StrangerHappened I don't know, but I had imagined this project was actually a part of the main business somehow, like it would be revenue generating beyond just CZcams content and patreon
@@StrangerHappened Part of the point of this channel is (or was) to promote their store. So even if the direct revenue from the channel isn't much, I'd imagine it's still giving them a nice boost.
Wow! Watching them build an entire 18th century homestead from nothing has been amazing to watch. The amount of work, detail and craftsmanship that was put into this project for us to watch and learn is so amazing and I am so appreciative! I love Townsends!
Oh my gosh! I learned to cook on an antique wood stove and we had to gauge the temp by how long we could hold our arm in the oven! I've never seen anyone else do this
No better topic for a fine autumn day that this clay oven baked dinner! Brandon demonstrates Townsend's 'Just-In-Time' inventory system😜. Bryan has the ''great hands" of a cook as well as the mind for it. AFTER DINNER: a nap and then BACK TO WORK. 'We are BURNING DAYLIGHT here!' This reminds me a bit of Harvest Meals during Threshing periods on my grandfather's farm.
This kind of backing with a preheated oven is very traditional in our countryside of germany. Here the oven is called "Backes", some milles from here ther is one still in operation every friday.
I see many episodes in this one. You guys are genius. Love your presentation, the quality of your work. You make the 18th century come alive. Great work.
I'm moving to the country soon. Will be building one of these. Nice job. As an engineer, I will probably install a temp probe to track temps. Really loving this series of videos. Thank you!

Trust, communication, loving, honoring, understanding, patience and respecting your partner. So crucial to provide balance. This is what creates such great chemistry between two people that are committed to one another.

Sophie is so funny, just looking at everyone, tail wagging, with this look on her face “If I look exceptionally cute right now maybe someone will “accidentally” drop something delicious!”. So glad your first big meal with the oven went well, it looked amazing. The new trivet is also very nice.

its like that other youtube channel that I cant even watch because I just get so angry about the guy doing all sorta stuff on his farm that I so much dream I could but cant.
I really enjoy your enthusiasm and the passion with which you create your videos. I’ve been watching for years and the production quality just keeps getting better! My kids and I have started trying out some of these recipes and they are lots of fun. Thank you!
That is what a chef should look like. Big, broad man with an obviously hearty appetite. My pap was the same way and he’d make the best homemade bread ever; and his stews and soups were to die for!!! I miss my pap. Thanks for reminding me of him chef..
having been able to walk a lot or move in geenral because of a bad hernia in my back after a work injuri for over 17 months, having you guys videos to watch have been one of the most relaxing things and things that have kept my sanity intact, thank you for all the great work you guys do Greetings from Denmark
I've been bingeing and rewatching a lot of your videos for the last few weeks. You're really making me miss going to events, particularly the eating and relaxing by the fire until the wee hours parts. Trying to put on umpteen layers of garb in a tent in the freezing cold while I need to pee , not so much.
thank you Townsend for making these videos.. A few of my friends do Renaissance festivals and civil war re-enactments and ive never really had an interest in either, you however have REALLY gotten me interested in 18th century life..I'd certainly miss the modern conveniences (such as plumbing and electricity) but im sure id manage..
Thanks for the Tuesday pick-me-up! Those beans look like my grandmother's. She cooked hers in a lidded crockery oven dish too. Mustard powder is a must!
@@warrenrudolph4475 Hey there, Warren! My grandma baked hers for a long, long time - hours. This was in a regular gas stove oven in her kitchen, so not outdoors, but she really took her time with her beans. How about yours?
Hi, Rose! I just learned the "secret" to the fancy ketchup my grandma puts in top of her meatloaf: nutmeg and mustard powder. It isn't your grandmother's beans recipe, but my grandma's meatloaf recipe was pretty old when she got it (the fancy ketchup is called piquant sauce and ketchup is spelled catsup on the recipe card).
@@jillianromick Oh that must be really tasty! Never heard of using nutmeg on meatloaf, but why not? It's even good on green beans. The all purpose spice!
This very episode is my favorite. I watch it multiple times a month. So amazing how well the giant oven works and how well all the dishes come together in the end! I'm looking to build my own earthen oven this year and can't wait to learn how to work it!
after binging a lot of these videos, i really with i had a bunch of friends/people to do this with, ringing a dinner bell and everyone finding a stopping point to come and eat and socialize, man i miss having friends.
The transition between from the blacksmithing to the oven was movielike. Amazing video like always. Y’all look like you have so much fun doing this, thanks for making awesome content!
Was having a bad day, but this wholesome content really cheered me up. I always love the cooking videos from this channel. Super interesting to see how that oven works!
That all looks so good! But I think the best part of it is the experience of making and preparing this all. This channel has taught me lots and I am very excited to see more!
A probably one of the best days of 18th century homestead dwellers depicted. Behind this a very hard work stands. For 100% reconstruction 18th century agriculture is needed. How did those people grow their crops an so on?
I really wish you'd break the illusion and use a laser thermometer on this thing at least once for us A thermal camera would also be really interesting to see
But why? What do you need exact temperatures for when every dish turned out perfect? Your hand and your arm are amazing tools for judging temperature, just do it a couple of times and you get a feeling for it.
@@Doctors_TARDIS I still don’t get why you want to know how hot his oven exactly gets. Isn’t this information completely irrelevant to you? If you want to know which temperature a bread needs, there is plenty information about it out there. I measure the temperature of my grill all the time with holding my hand over it and counting the seconds. It works extremely well and there is no need for an IF thermometer. If you really want to know, build an oven yourself and test it. No offense, but you don’t seem much like a „hands on outdoor guy“ to me, when you ask such questions.
Wow! Best episode EVER! Fascinating seeing how everything went into the oven both together and at different times. Everything looks so delicious. It really makes you wish you were there in person to savor the flavors and the aromas! A real feast. Keep up the great work guys!
I couldn't help watch the woman eating in the back. Every single bite she took, she was holding back a smile it was adorable. I can tell everyone is genuinely having a fun time. Nice to have good company and good folks when eating delicious food that is strictly specific to how it's been cooked and the ingredients you use. Tremendous episode!
“Did you get nutmeg in there”
“Cooking with you Jon, of course I did.”
Days Gone Without Nutmeg: 0
hanikrummi hundursvin hmm ya learn something new everyday. What do you usually use it for? Sweets or do you make meat pies and such like on the channel?
Nutmeg for the win!
@hanikrummi hundursvin Haha, we call it in Czech republic almost the same ! Muškátový oříšek!
Everytime I watch a CZcams chef now and they're like "Nutmeg is good in this." I just hear Jon in the back "...nutmeg is good in everything."
Perfectly nutmeg'd, as all things should be.
Ryan holds exactly the role I'd like to emulate, he's a knowledgeable and charismatic chef. Big man with a big heart. We need that.
He swings a mean maul for cabin building, too!
@@ruffles886 He can cook, it is the eating that needs to stop. Should fast for a year or two.
Big is a real understatement for sure
@@InhabitantOfOddworld Never trust a skinny cook.
@@TheCivilwargal honestly I trust skinnier chefs more than overweight chefs. It shows that they care more about quality and eat less filler food...

I agree
Indeed!
Bravo Brian, and the blacksmith...and everyone😊👌👏. I am going to try a vegan 🌱 version of the baked beans👍. Editing to say the pear tart looked amazing too👌😋
*A horseman gallops past down te county road*

I legitimately laughed so hard at this 🤣😂
You're too late; the nutmeg is gone...
Back in the day guests were most welcome. They might have news, from far away, and people were genuinely welcoming. 🌻🌻🌻
My nutmeg is gone, and I am gone with it. Catch me out back that tavern with a flaggon.

The meme continues lmao
@@MoamadTrashman 6:00
Literally my favorite part.
@@ghastwriter the oooool tappa tappa of nutmeg and why not a little pinch of cayenne pepper? never hurt anybody.
Ryan knows whats up
I assume nutmeg acts like the spice in Frank Herbert’s “Dune” it allows the Townsends to navigate across the time vortex.
I mean, from what I hear, having too much nutmeg does make you start hallucinating.
the 'meg must flow
@@a.pseudonymous2384 Yup, from what I know you can get high if you eat a lot of fresh nutmeg. It gives a hell of a hangover from what I heard, though.
@@RegretWhisperer or the "nut" must flow 😏
@@a.pseudonymous2384 iirc it takes a few whole berries to start feeling the psychoactive effects. Pretty hard to choke down once they're dry lol

Makes today's cooking look so easy and fast
Right times where harder back then but simpler.

Never deny yourself any history my shrek friend
Yeah, school teaches us nothing past like fourth grade we would ever use, but man am I using the recipes I learn here.
Back in school we had two really great and one really dull history teachers. Most aren't this lucky I guess. The funnest one tended to explain by gesturing, and since I'm dutch she ended up skating through the halls holding a broom as if its a firearm...

Why do I feel emotionally invested in the fact that your new oven worked well? You guys are wonderful and a joy to watch as always
I have to think that as we make a big deal about this oven, many people around the world are having a good chuckle. I 've seen videos of many people in other lands doing the same thing daily without batting an eye.
I love the woman in the background trying not to laugh at how eccentric John is when he tastes the food. Love this episode.
I watched the last 5 minutes over again because of what you said and it was quite enjoyable, love when people hold it together
She was laughing at the dog begging.
@@signalfire6691 She was both.
She should learn to know her place. The dog knew exactly to approach the most excitable and emotional member of camp to attempt food equity.
@@bennym5244 Look people. here we have the average American Republican! As ill-minded as he is ignorant.
Ryan is a very talented chef. Any historical society would be lucky to have him.
There's talented then there is the willing to do stuff like that. Tending fire oven for hours to cook a meal is just unwanted difficulty. Respect.
@@Neojhun yeah, a guy like that would be invaluable in that time period
@Noone Cares that’s not necessary, can it
Anyone in the apocalypse would want to have Jon and Ryan. They're walking gold bars with their knowledge and cooking alone.
@@EvilSewnitliterally what are you talking about
I still can't get over the fact that your nutmeg jar lid has a built-in grater....
In Germany there is this very old recipe called "Flammkuchen" which is basicall a very thin unleavened dough topped with creme fraiche, bacon and onions. Traditionally it was the first kind of thing you would bake in an oven just like the one John used. The Flammkuchen needs very high heat to make the thinly spread dough crispy and the onions just translucent so the really high temperature once the oven has been mopped is perfect for it. Once it cooled down you would switch to bread and pies.
Freshly made those are simple but simply delicious.
@@billmiller4972 Definitely and they are truly fast food - the dough is easy peasy (no fermentation) and they only take a couple of minutes in a very hot oven.
Wow, as a German guy I never knew the reason for the name of this delicious meal. Thanks to you, now I know!
@@peterwolf8149 Always happy to share. There is so much interesting history hidden in our food :D
And the recipe I found with a google search for Flammkuchen (flame cake) has Nutmeg in it. Perfect.
"The beans have been there the whole time." I must meditate on this universal wisdom.
I can hardly wait now for the multi-bread loaf episode. That oven is fantastic!!!
Coming soon!
Ryan is very genuine and so kind. Such a pleasure to watch.
“Did you get nutmeg in there?”
“Im cooking with you John, of course I did”
😂 I must agree nutmeg is pretty great
Its absolutely insane to me that this oven operates entirely on residual heat
All old ovens did most of the time. There are very few things that bake with the fire still in, one of them being pizza, and if the oven is at the right temperature it bakes for only 2 minutes, you can see how that would be way too hot for most things
I had no clue that was how it was done.
Like a Chambers range.
It's almost like an igloo, that heat that circulates is encapsulated and keeps the inside warm.
yeah i know its a small thing but i never realized that they cleared it out and put the door on it to retain the heat
I love how the blacksmith guy just showed up with a handmade trivet, insanely cool! Hey, I'd like a couple of coat hooks, for my closet and a pancake griddle while your at it, can I pick them up in about an hour please? 🤣
I think the pancake griddle may take a bit longer than an hour.

@@dollhousemakr bells are normally cast so...
I need to address the elephant in the room: When is the nutmeg jar/grater going to be made available to the rest of us heathens?
I have seen a nutmeg and grater set in a catalogue, go check the website!
www.townsends.us/collections/food-drink/products/nutmeg-pocket-grater-ng297-p-1526

The running joke of having nutmeg has officially made me by cinnamon nutmeg to add into everything.
look up his recipe for kitchen pepper I think you might enjoy that as well.
I don't even think about it any more I'm like "dash of Nutmeg" to every. single. dish.
Try it in your coffee.

I really enjoy your enthusiasm and the passion with which you create your videos. I’ve been watching for years and the production quality just keeps getting better! My kids and I have started trying out some of these recipes and they are lots of fun. Thank you!
10:38 dog cameo lol!
Sophie is a great companion and deserves a nibble.
That is what a chef should look like. Big, broad man with an obviously hearty appetite.
My pap was the same way and he’d make the best homemade bread ever; and his stews and soups were to die for!!!
I miss my pap. Thanks for reminding me of him chef..
Can't wait till the "loaves of bread" episode!!! 🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞
Should be fun!
Same😁 my great grandad was a baker, and then so was my own grandad, it be so cool to see a snippet into our ancestors history
having been able to walk a lot or move in geenral because of a bad hernia in my back after a work injuri for over 17 months, having you guys videos to watch have been one of the most relaxing things and things that have kept my sanity intact, thank you for all the great work you guys do
Greetings from Denmark
I've been bingeing and rewatching a lot of your videos for the last few weeks. You're really making me miss going to events, particularly the eating and relaxing by the fire until the wee hours parts. Trying to put on umpteen layers of garb in a tent in the freezing cold while I need to pee , not so much.
what kind of events?
A fantastic episode my friends!!
My husband and I have been watching you for a long time😁a excellent channel!!
Love from Australia xx
How are you doing Today Bron hope your enjoying your day and having a grate time, take good care of your self stay safe and blessed
Townsends has introduced me to so much good food. Salute! You're the best!
Love this channel. Watching you guys use primitive methods to cook and build things is so calming to watch. Keep up the great work!
Ahh my daily dose of goodness and warmth
Severely underrated channel. Deserves 10 mil subs or higher tbh
When you have your own on-demand trivets - I want that kinda life.
thank you Townsend for making these videos.. A few of my friends do Renaissance festivals and civil war re-enactments and ive never really had an interest in either, you however have REALLY gotten me interested in 18th century life..I'd certainly miss the modern conveniences (such as plumbing and electricity) but im sure id manage..
My friend from Michigan told me about this great channel. It turns out I live a few miles from the Townesnds. My only question is what time is dinner?
I hope you and the family had a good trip its good to see u back
Thanks for the Tuesday pick-me-up! Those beans look like my grandmother's. She cooked hers in a lidded crockery oven dish too. Mustard powder is a must!
Yes I have those memories too! Hi Rose. Another fun episode!
@@warrenrudolph4475 Hey there, Warren! My grandma baked hers for a long, long time - hours. This was in a regular gas stove oven in her kitchen, so not outdoors, but she really took her time with her beans. How about yours?
Hi, Rose! I just learned the "secret" to the fancy ketchup my grandma puts in top of her meatloaf: nutmeg and mustard powder. It isn't your grandmother's beans recipe, but my grandma's meatloaf recipe was pretty old when she got it (the fancy ketchup is called piquant sauce and ketchup is spelled catsup on the recipe card).
@@jillianromick Oh that must be really tasty! Never heard of using nutmeg on meatloaf, but why not? It's even good on green beans. The all purpose spice!
@@jillianromick PS I once ran across a recipe for walnut ketchup.
This very episode is my favorite. I watch it multiple times a month. So amazing how well the giant oven works and how well all the dishes come together in the end! I'm looking to build my own earthen oven this year and can't wait to learn how to work it!
Watching all the side projects over the years culminate in this episode was very fulfilling.
I definitely want to try making a smaller version of the earthen oven! Educational, entertaining and full of rich, American history! Love the channel!
I wish my country had someone like you; puertorico has such a great cuisine. Is literally a time travel event tyvm.
after binging a lot of these videos, i really with i had a bunch of friends/people to do this with, ringing a dinner bell and everyone finding a stopping point to come and eat and socialize, man i miss having friends.
Beautiful day and video. That tart looks spectacular! Now I need an earthen oven - next summer's project!
Sounds like a great project! They are awesome.
Man, all of the sudden I really want to run off to the colonies with my friends and live like this
John is like a kid in a nutmeg store.
Dogs never change. Doesn't matter what time period.. Good boys and girls just want your food at the end of the day
The transition between from the blacksmithing to the oven was movielike. Amazing video like always. Y’all look like you have so much fun doing this, thanks for making awesome content!
Yes excellent cinematography!
Still discovering and loving your content. Recently introduced to my son and we are learning so much together about something we enjoy. Thank you!!!
Was having a bad day, but this wholesome content really cheered me up. I always love the cooking videos from this channel. Super interesting to see how that oven works!
You guys are so awesome. I love the living history, now I wanna come help and live on the homestead. It's emotional to me ..
That all looks so good! But I think the best part of it is the experience of making and preparing this all. This channel has taught me lots and I am very excited to see more!
A probably one of the best days of 18th century homestead dwellers depicted. Behind this a very hard work stands.
For 100% reconstruction 18th century agriculture is needed.
How did those people grow their crops an so on?
I really wish you'd break the illusion and use a laser thermometer on this thing at least once for us
A thermal camera would also be really interesting to see
They could do it off camera
What are these things of which you speak?
But why?
What do you need exact temperatures for when every dish turned out perfect?
Your hand and your arm are amazing tools for judging temperature, just do it a couple of times and you get a feeling for it.
@@rolux4853 Because I have no idea what his arm feels like on the other side of a computer monitor
@@Doctors_TARDIS I still don’t get why you want to know how hot his oven exactly gets.
Isn’t this information completely irrelevant to you?
If you want to know which temperature a bread needs, there is plenty information about it out there.
I measure the temperature of my grill all the time with holding my hand over it and counting the seconds.
It works extremely well and there is no need for an IF thermometer.
If you really want to know, build an oven yourself and test it.
No offense, but you don’t seem much like a „hands on outdoor guy“ to me, when you ask such questions.
Wow! Best episode EVER! Fascinating seeing how everything went into the oven both together and at different times. Everything looks so delicious. It really makes you wish you were there in person to savor the flavors and the aromas! A real feast. Keep up the great work guys!
Dude Jon, grow your beard out to sea captain status
Winter is coming :) Long beard will be advantageous during cold days.
Yes. The only ones who shouldn't have beards are women and children!
I couldn't help watch the woman eating in the back. Every single bite she took, she was holding back a smile it was adorable. I can tell everyone is genuinely having a fun time. Nice to have good company and good folks when eating delicious food that is strictly specific to how it's been cooked and the ingredients you use. Tremendous episode!
