- Before there were vacuums, washing machines, air fryers, or blenders . . . there was the Hoosier cabinet. This "cupboard with brains" rang in the era of functional design. And you could say it saved the American housewife . . . from a life of inefficiency, at least.

So much fun working on this one!
Congratulations Ben! Great topic~~
Liked the content and enjoyed the presentation--except for the loud, intrusive and obnoxious music.
Oof. Will try to do better on that in the future
Wonderful! I loved this lesson on a favorite antique of this Hoosier.
Glad to hear it!
Go Hoosier Cabinets!
🙌
Kid kitchens are so Hoosier.
Hmmm good point
Food was kept in cellars because of temperature control, not a lack of efficiency. And white this video is very cool, hoosiers were mostly about baking.
😱
Aww above and beyond JM
The background music is very distracting and too loud. Great info though and graphics.
🙂
I love Hossier cabinets, but this video is chock full of misinformation and exaggerated claims about them. The Hoosier was designed to consolidate BAKING supplies, but no homemaker would ever use it for "wet work": prepping fruit for canning, slicing vegetables, or chopping meat, for example. These folks were probably more aware of the threat of food borne pathogens than many of us today, so such activities would be carried out on surfaces that could be sanitized in the only way available: by sluicing them with boiling water. (The large "drainboards" flanking the sink were suitable for these tasks.) Furthermore, the vast majority of foodstuffs would still have been stored in root cellars or spring houses, so even though the Hoosier was marketed for "improved efficiency" (advertising's golden buzz-word in the late 19th and early 20th centuries), in actuality it certainly DIDN'T "revolutionize" housework.
Bro, work on your tone, and the loud music has got to go. Otherwise enjoyed the information that was not too assertive.
This is terrible. "All of a sudden responsible for putting supper on the table?" Whaaaa???
Poor choice of music, to loud and annoying.
