Upper Moutere Inquiry Project

1. Room 3’s visit to Broadgreen House

3. The Scullery This is the Scullery. It was very cold in here. It had thick walls and had a marble bench which was very cold. The reason this room was so cold was because they stored meat, cheese, butter, eggs, milk and things in here. They didn’t have fridges so needed a really cold room. They also used a cupboard that had a mesh door to keep out flies and mice and also let air flow through. They used this like a fridge.

4. The Scullery They use to have to make their own butter. Graham is showing a butter churner. They put cream in the jar and if you turn the handle a lot, the cream eventually turns into butter. Next to that are some old fashioned scales. You would put something in the large pan, then use weights to find out how much it weighs. Tyla is holding some wooden butter paddles. You put a some butter between the paddles and rub them together to form the butter into a curl. They liked to have their butter served in nice shapes. By Ella, Brodie, Edward Lane, Tyla and Graham
