TechnicusJoe Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 A video special in collaboration with the Blacksmith of the living archeological museum in Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands! The museum blacksmith suggested to me to shoot a video of him replicating a roughly 125 year old "spekkendikken" tongs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The only thing I don't get is the part about not cooking over a charcoal forge fire. Would you mind posting the spekkendikken recipe? It's my kind of recipe, about this much butter, etc. a pinch of salt, make that two and three eggs. . . DARN dog ate the third one! Two eggs. My Mother and Grandmother cooked by guess and by gosh. Big handfull, little handfull, dab, dollop, dash, drizzle, drop, glug. The only time they used measuring cups and spoons was baking. Always sift the dry ingredients together! I believe these things were known to us English as "wafer irons" and later "waffle irons." I loved the video, thank you. I assume you were striking? Frosty The Lucky.

I think that was "Don't cook over a coal fire", not charcoal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasent Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Watched this morning. Great video joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Thanks Thomas, that's about what I remember though I don't recall where, heck it might have been Food Network, Alton Brown maybe he goes into history. You're probably right John though I don't think it's that much a problem, lots of old school pizza ovens are coal fired. A version would be nice around an evening camp fire. Frosty The Lucky.
