FOR COOLING PASTRY
Device That Should Be in Use in
Every Kitchen.
Calls for Little Expenditure Of Money
and is Simple in Construction
Of Wire Netting and Empty
Cotton Spools.

A cake and pastry cooler is an alb
solute necessity IL confectionery is to
be at its best. Many batch of cakes
and pastry has been ruined through
not being cooled properly; pastry goes
sad and cakes sodden. When cakes
come from the oven they should be
placed on wire tray; thus the steam
eyapOrates and does not re-enter the
cake. and the cooling down is a grad
ual process: extremes of cold or heat
spoil the best-made CONNECTIONS. A
Wire tray is quite an item to buy, but
one can easily be made at home at
practically no cost at all. All that is
required is pice of fine wire netting,
In size about IA inches by 10 inches,
and some empty cotton reels. The
tray will be all the firmer if four
strips of thin wood bind it's edges. that
is, wrap the edges of the wire on thin
pieces OF stick the same length as the
sides and secure with a nail here and
there: this will do away with any
fear of wire projecting; If the sticks
are not used. the ends of wire that are
loose should be carefully nipped or
entwined. The tray must stand at a
little height. For this purpose four
empty cotton reels are excellent as
feet; choose the reels all of one size,
and black ones would make a heater
Job. Simply tack the wire tray on to
the bobbins. bobbin to be at each
corner; greater strength is given to
the tray If bobbin is also placed in
the center of each of the longest
sides. These trays are splendid and
answer just as we'll as an expensive
bought one. Be sure to see that the
wire netting used is we'll scrubbed
and cleaned before ii is used Then

hole is made in the center OF the lid
and all that has then to be done is
to place the ball inside the tin and
fix the lid securely on and draw the
string off through the hole as it is
required.
For suspelding the scissors, two
small holes are made in the lower
side Of the tin, close together, and the
end of a piece of string passed in at
one hole and out at the other In this
way the string can be tied to the tin
and the other end of the string can
be tied to the handle of a pair of
scissors
