0NE OF the greatest difficulties in cooking
\ lies in knowing how long to keep food in
the and at what temperature
Even the best cook hooks are very hazy on
this important matter. We read over and over
again directions like these: Bake until thor.
oughy done" Bake until brown and crisp
on the surface" Roast in a hotter oven than
for fowl" Bake one hour or more Bake
until done, the time depending upon the thick
ness" All OF these are, OF course, much TOO
indefinite to serve practical guides.
Many women rely upon the degree Of heat
their hands feel when thrust into the oven to
decide whether the temperature is right But
this method is also extremely unreliable. Tests
made a few days ago by cookery expert
showed that when the hands of various women
indicated what is known a moderate" oven
the actual temperature ranged all the way
from 145 10 420 degrees Fahrenheit
Judging the ovens temperature by the brown.

recent test when the paper showed the oven to be
