She piqued the curiosity of social media users and similarly incited their fury after going viral in a recent profile.
And Hannah Neeleman of Ballerina Farms continued to play on her newfound fame in an Instagram post shared on Monday.
In her latest dispatch from her Utah farm, where she raises her eight children with her wealthy heir husband, the former Ballerina showed her family cooking up a storm on their massively expensive Aga cast iron range.
The gorgeous green stove, which can cost over $30,00 for the most opulent models — though more modest stoves can cost in the $5,000 to 10,000 range — is constantly running and features multiple chambers heated to different temperatures.
Hannah and her family recently sparked controversy following a Times of London profile in July that left some readers concerned that she had allegedly been forced to give up her passions in favor of the whims of her husband.
Hannah Neeleman, the former ballerina–turned–'tradwife' influencer, shared her family's Sunday morning pre-church routine in an Instagram video posted Monday
The clip prominently featured the family's enormous Aga stove, which is on 24 hours a day and leads to astronomical energy bills. The stove's can cost over $30,000, though smaller models can cost as little as $5,000 to $10,000
Hannah's video featured rapid-fire cuts showing her holding her holding one of her eight children, before cutting to one of her older daughters putting a kettle on the stove while wearing an adorable pink tutu.
Despite the fact that the pricy Aga stove is always on, the former ballerina previously revealed that it only ever gets 'warm but not hot to the touch' on the outside,' so her daughter wasn't in much danger of burning herself by touching the side of the stove, though a boiling plate and simmering plate on top of the stove are constantly set at temperatures of 600 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively.
She gave her 9.9 million followers a demonstration later in the clip with an overhead shot of a yellow enameled cast iron post in which she was boiling eggs.
Hannah's husbandDaniel also made a brief appearance in the video as he held one of the children.
His voice could be heard in the background as the little ones assisted their mother in mixing eggs to make some hearty, pleasantly brown muffins that they then assembled in a basket on the plain-looking wooden dining table.
Later, some of the older kids were spotted outside in a field as they attended to a cow.
'Before church on Sundays,' Hannah captioned her video, and she fittingly concluded with herself and her children getting dressed in their Sunday finest.
The Mormon housewife applied her makeup in the mirror after changing into a lovely blue floral sleeveless dress.

A Times of London profile from July sparked concern from readers after painting a picture of a ballerina who gave up her passion in order to move to rural Utah at the behest of an allegedly controlling husband
Her older daughter had on a white dress with a tulle skirt, while the baby wore a cute pale green floral dress for church.
Hannah pouted her lips comically while steadying her youngest child on their feet to wrap up her video.
The internet first became transfixed by Hannah after a New York Timesprofile earlier this year detailed how she competed in beauty pageants just weeks after welcoming her eighth child.
But a darker picture of her life on the farm emerged after the Times of London profile, which some readers thought painted her husband as controlling.
Daniel, who is the son of the billionaire JetBlue founder David Neeleman, had allegedly dictated the family's move to Utah and Hannah's current rural life.
'Daniel wanted to live in the great western wilds, so they did,' the profile claimed. 'He wanted to farm, so they do; he likes date nights once a week, so they go (they have a babysitter on those evenings); he didn’t want nannies in the house, so there aren’t any. The only space earmarked to be [Hannah]’s own — a small barn she wanted to convert into a ballet studio — ended up becoming the kids’ schoolroom.'
Hannah had formerly been a New York City–based ballerina, but she seemingly had to give up that passion in order to raise her growing family.
However, Hannah disputed the Times of London article, calling it an 'attack' on her 'family.'
But she disputed the tone of the profile and claimed she was happy with her life. She also said her husband ended his lacrosse career at Brigham Young University early, which she apparently considered a similar sacrifice

Readers also were concerned to read that Hannah spent a week in bed due to exhaustion, as her husband allegedly wanted her to raise their eight children without the aid of nannies
She rejected its portrait of her husband Daniel as controlling, though she seemed to object primarily to its tone rather than claiming it got facts wrong about her life.
However, though she admitted having to give up her passion for ballet to start a family in rural Utah with her husband, she said he had also been forced to end his lacrosse career at Brigham Young University early to live with her in New York for a short time, which she apparently considered to be a similar sacrifice.
They later moved toSão Paulo, Brazil, for multiple years, before moving out to Utah.
Although many readers and followers of Hannah considered her a spokesperson for the so-called 'tradwife' movement, she doesn't use the term to describe herself and has downplayed any connection to other women who use the term to describe themselves.
