Ash and oil make like a cery crude soap, mixed with detergent which is soap, the trick is to apply soap to make sure the soot doesn’t stick and it’s easier to wash off when the soap is already there. Brilliant honestly. Didn’t even stain your hands!
That's exactly what I was thinking - as soon as she said 'ash' I was like "...isn't that soap??" and then it made sense - a layer of soap between the kettle and the soot. You're right, honestly brilliant.
I was about to say something similar. Soap is made from lye and fats and lye is extracted from ash, so yeah it’s great. Not really getting your hands dirty either. They’ll wash off really nice and clean
This is so helpful! My boyfriend and I go camping with his great grandfather’s old school aluminum kettle he was issued in the army. The thing still holds up so well, but it’s such a chore to clean it when we’re finished. This solves the problem completely!
We in the caribbean probably got this from you guys. we sometimes add soap as well and it works great both ways. Much love 🎉 It also works with any kind of oil or fat- now that i live in America where palm oil is rare i use canola or vegetable oil. So anyone living anywhere can benefit from this!
Did you also get drug dealing and stealing from Africans? I’m African but I hate these baseless connections that Caribbeans and Americans love to spread. This custom is seen in many other cultures and not just African culture. It may not even have originated in Africa. So trying to act like you got it from Africans is absurd,
All you did was watch a YT video and see someone doing it. Has nothing to do with some kind of heritage. Meanwhile there are many African cultures that don’t even do this
We do this in Jamaica too, no palm oil though. Even if we never took the preventative method, it works just the same to scrub the pot clean AFTERWARDS. When i was smaller, we'd use the brown meshy part of the coconut tree as a scour scour for pots
I know this method you just mentioned from Ghana. I thought this was what she was going to share when she started, but I learnt something new from her.
We had our way of doing things and they work. We didn't have gynecologists, social workers, psychiatrists but we have our way of doing things and there were less problems. Bridge deliveries were manipulated and the child delivered naturally. Like your videos. ❤
Mon dieu was wondering how a kettle was a pot be dey find the pot" whilst u held the kettle thank goodness there was a correction we love u charity shout out to you please always always always continue to Repp 9ja 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
This hack has been in use for years and it works perfectly well especially for those who does commercial cooking and uses firewood. We all know that food made with firewood tastes amazing, nothing beats the taste.
Nothing "environmentally friendly" about an open fire. The government doesn't have a fire ban in urban areas for nothing. Nothing "green" about burning all that wood. But then again, Africans don't care about their own environment as much as they claim. And animal poaching is almost entirely black Africans.
Environmentally friendly washing up liquid does this alone very nicely, no need for ash or anything else. I discovered this on a Girl Guide camp in UK over 30 years ago. Yes, we also know how to cook on a fire, it's just that we prefer to save it for camping trips. 😊
I'm from Nigeria and I love the Jamaican people.. In future if I don't settle down with a fellow African, I won't miss settling down with a Carribean lady, especially a Rasta Girl! 😊 One love ❤
Great hacks of ages past😂 yes my dear Charity. . Incase you live where no you don't have ash or palmoil. You can use vegetable oil and detergent only too. Then after you scrub with a soft pot sponge and viola! Clean pot
Nice video. Its scientically proven you retain information better when it's presented by a beautiful woman 😉 I just made that up lol but cool video. It's always good to learn
@Africa Everyday, I saw you got some pretty new pots, so wondered if you knew about this. It’s basically a crude soap base and less toxic/caustic over a fire this way than if you were to lather a detergent on the pan before putting it over the fire. This is a great idea!
If you didn't cook over an open flame as you "prefer to do" you wouldn't have this problem to begin with. And we use plastic kettles to boil water without any open flames needed..
Nice. Now, what to do if the pots or kettle are already stained? Also, what metal is that kettle made out of? Would this work for copper, carbon steel, or "stainless" steel?

Natural beauty 👏🏾👏🏾
❤ thank you
No problem✊🏾✊🏾
That’s an awesome hack from my beautiful af Nubian princess
Girl, Happy to see you again on my feed,Your Amazing and so is that cleaning trick😊❤
Yay! Thank you!

I love the way old meets new here. I see so many videos of people still loving to cook in the garden!
Yes, there is this unique taste of it😂
Thank you. Please teach me more ♥️. I want to do more things the African way.
❤
A lovely way of life. Much love all the way from America.
awesome great hack looove it please show us more
Ofcourse ❤
Well done Chacha. It works well o. I used to do it back when I was growing up in the village. My mum taught me. Yeah!❤
I have learned something new and enjoying your content very much from ST.THOMAS US virgin island thumbs up 😊
Thank you 😊
Bro the “yeah” at the end, as usual 😅
Very necessary😅

You are a true African 😅😅😅
That’s how Haitian does it in Haiti too. 🇭🇹 ❤
Nice
@@CharityEkezie ❤️
Even Asian cultures do this too. Its origin may very well not be Africa as you can find it across the world
@@YT-xk5jl good for them! We are talking about Africa and Haiti not Asia! Go away!

In Jamaica 🇯🇲 we do the same, but we use coconut oil or any other oil available. One love from Jamaica. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲♥️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

We also do similar in Jamaica with the ash
We do the same thing in Ethiopia with only the ‘ash’. It’s definitely an African hack!😄🖤
Dayum
This ibo gyla fyn asf 🥹
I like ur videos

I just made that up lol but cool video. It's always good to learn
Lmao
Yup I am familiar with this method of self cleaning the pot 🎉🎉
Amazing! That kettle is really like new now. Worth trying.
Nice..
Detergent and oil without ask works perfectly as well
Love you and your genil ideas .
Be blessed.
Wow! Thanks for sharing that method. Imma try that out.
It's always the ...yeah .... for me.
In Kenya we use cooking oil and Ash even for the huge pots that cook for 200 to 400 people. Always works.
Wow
Actually more fire than I expected
Just discovered your channel and I just love it so much!!! Thank you for reflecting the prejudices. And making me laugh so many times. ❤
Just subscribed, love your channel!! Love your sense of humour!! Greetings from Moscow Russia!!!🙏🏿🌺🌺🌺👍🏿
Is there any end to the ingenuity of the council of elders in wakanda 🤔...
Lol
Looks great!
Girl, thank you. I do oil and ash but the detergent makes it easier to clean. #myfaveyoutuber #lifehacks
Amazing thank you so much ❤
Ofcourse

The 'kettle' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅 kept calling it a pot
@@CharityEkezie It's alright dear. We all understood you.
Great job btw, I'm proud of you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Practical and effective = this is the way.
Thanks for this hack! It was very satisfying to see how easy it was to clean and it looked brand new ❤
It did. Thanks
Wowwwwowww 😮😮😮it really works!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Good one, more hacks dear 😊
💖
It works very well. We' ve been using this method in Nigeria ❤
I'm Nigerian 🥰 learnt it from Grandma
This can also be achieved by applying just oil on the kettle and washing it with soap and maybe ash or sand later
Brilliant!
This is actually what we did before and even now that we have acquired our own modernised home. It's super effective and easy to wash.
Better use dry mudd or sand for rubbing in last😊😊😊😊😊
That bittter leaf tree in the back got me wishing😂❤❤
😅
EXCELLENT, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😅😅😅😅🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🎉🎉🎉🎉🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏
Can I burn the tears of my enemies to get ash??
Lmao
If you don't have ash, you can use sand as well. The end result is the same
We Ethiopians really do that all the time 😊
In my country, Guine-Bissau (West Africa) we do the same, adding water instead of palm oil. 🙏🏿🖤
Nice
Will definitely try!
Just subscribed to your channel
If you didn't cook over an open flame as you "prefer to do" you wouldn't have this problem to begin with.
And we use plastic kettles to boil water without any open flames needed..
WOW 😳😮
Yep, we do the same , I just didn't know about the palm oil, we don't have it readily available this side. 🇿🇼
Nice
Nice one ❤❤
Africa for the win fr! Amd they say africas the poorest content and we cant affror things? Bruh we invented these techniques!
They put palm oil in our foods at the markets here in the USA. Wow it’s used to clean pots
Approved method that I also use in Senegal every time I’m cooking with wood fire 😊
💃🏾💃🏾
I don’t like getting my hands dirty so I couldn’t! But your “pot” (kettle) looks beautiful and clean 😊
😁 thank you
In India we smear clay outside the pot then put it on fire and protect the utensils
Oh nice
Charity, you are going to make some man a beautiful wife with a beautiful life.
Nice. Now, what to do if the pots or kettle are already stained?
Also, what metal is that kettle made out of?
Would this work for copper, carbon steel, or "stainless" steel?
This is neat! Thanks for the tip!
Glad it was helpful!
Girl, that method is not used only in Africa but all over the world where people cook directly from the flame .....
Wow that’s so cool
In india in many of our villages we still use coconut husk as scrubber to clean utensils
Awesome
Nice dalo ❤❤
❤
Very good
❤ thank you
Without yeah, video never ends.
Love u ❤ from India🇮🇳

Sometimes, the old ways really ARE the best!
Right
Wow if you can do more videos like this
How do you make the palm oil?
What if you don't have palms oil, where I'm from there's no such thing as palm oil
Ah we use mud.❤
❤
Well thats cool
😮
We do it with mud
Thanks each one teach one now the next one is how did they live with out the damn electricity??
❤🎉
It's kettle o
Bur wasnt the kettle already stain free when she started!??🤔
Yes it was. The idea is to prevent the charcoal stain from the fire to stay permanently on the pot or kettle. This is like a preventive measure.
Wear gloves if you don't like to get your hand messy.
Found a new set of jobs to spark strange responses 😮
❤❤
So this is a pot. the kettle:😩
I like you madam ❤❤❤❤❤
Clean old pot i want to check something
It’s a preventive method not a cleaning method
Hello charity, first to comment
Hi thank you
