New Kitchen UtersiIs,

The metal bread board Is one OF the
new scientific devices which should be
found In every model kitchen. It is light,
does not absorb grease and dough does
not stick to It. 1t is less expensive than
the marble bread board, and, on the
whole. answers all the requirements OF
sanitary breadmaking. The newest
cooking utensils are made of aluminium.
They are not yet common, owing to
cost, but housewives who have used
them say they neither scorch nor burn.
that they need less fuel than Is con.
sumed by other utensils, and that they
can be kept shining bright with only
soap and water
