oven was first heated to 425 degrees
to scar the roast, having both oven
and broiler heats at high for seven

placed in the oven, we'll drcdged

being added and no basting being
done during cooking, though the pan
was left uncovered. 1t remained on
the middle rack Of the oven with the
broiler turned to low and the oven
switch left at high for fifteen min
utes. At this point the heat was re-
duced to 375 degrees by turning off
both burners for twelve minutes and
then using the medium oven and low
broiler for the balance of the time,
which was eleven minutes.

What 1t Costs

Figuring on IO-cent electricity
(New York City is 7 cents) we find
that the costs an hour for heat run
as follows: The broiler at low, me-
dium and high heats costs S, 90 and
17.2 cents, respectively. Of course,
one does not broil hours at a time,
and it is notable that when the
broiler is turned to medium the heat
is no less, it is merely not so extern
sive, the two end coils on each side
being turned off so that few chops
or a small steak may be as quickly
and as we'll cooked, but with less
heat expenditure.
The oven costs somewhat less, i.
e., 11.2, So and 81 cents an hour
for high, medium and low heats. The
single stove plates cost almost ex-
actly the same as the oven an hour.
All elements in action at once
would cost 63.2, 31.9 and 1873 cents
an hour for high, medium and low
heats. This, Of course, Is a purely
theoretical figure, as the newest
Irish cook could scarcely turn on all

being of delicate consistency, but
holding their own.
Medium sized potatoes were baked
in thirty-two minutes-on the mid
die rack. In twelve minutes, with
both broiler and oven heat at high,
the temperature was 400 degrees; :;
then all electricity was turned off,
and in twenty minutes the potatoes
we're finished on the retained heat.
Cup cakes We're baked in thirty
five minutes, starting with a cold
oven. In fifteen minutes, with oven
and broiler both at medium, the
temperature was 250 degrees. The
broiler was then turned off and the
oven switch placed at high, produce
ing temperature Of $50 degrees in
ten minutes. The heat was next
turned to medium for five minutes,
and the cakes Drowned on the top
CRATE for an additional five minutes.
They also were a perfect golden
brown and Of excellent texture.
A three-pound roast was perfectly

a ND when the engineer got through
with the electric stove the do
mestic scientist took hold--to see
what it really would cook and how it
would taste. The stove was put
through all Of the most difficult
PAGES a stove can be made to take
-soutf1es, a roast, potatoes, baked
and boiled, cup cakes, and a cream
sauce for fish on the top plates were
made.
A souffle Of fnnan haddie and
rich honey souffle were baked in the
electric oven, being placed in the
cold oven and both broiler and oven
heat turned to medium for twenty
minutes, when the temperature
reached 800 degrees. The broiler
was turned off and the souffle
remained in the oven for thirty-five
minutes longer. A glass baking dish
was used and all sides as we'll as the
top were a perfect golden brown.
The rice honey souffl6-a delectable
dish-was equally we'll cooked, both

is not hot enough, and, on the other
hand, if the food browns too soon 1t

side. Furthermore, different fats
need to be heated to different tenn
peratures to produce the same re-
sults-345 degrees is about right for
doughnuts, for example, and while
butter burns at 240 degrees the corn
and cottonseed oils can heat to $50
degrees without "breaking down"
and becoming undesirables. Why
not let thermometer tell you ex-
actly whats what" instead of
guessing and producing unequal re-
suits, with every effort an expert
ment and every baking day a lottery
instead of a certainty?
Among other uses for ther-
mometer is that of making bread, as
we'll as baking it at the correct tenn
perature. Exact measurements and
fermentation and raising at the
same temperature are what give the
commercial bakers bread the even
ness of quality and character that
home baking often lacks.

and the overall height is 53N inches.
The cooking top is 321a inches off
the floor and could, to advantage in
our opinion, be raised at least II
inches higher by the use Of casters.
This top is 221a inches across the
front and 20 inches deep, carrying
three s-inch hot plates.
Like most folks and things that
are bit slow in getting under way
the electric range "keeps on going"
after moro speedy stoves are cold.
In other words, it takes longer to
get up heat, especially on the sur
face burners with their concealed
elements, but once under way the
power may be turned down, or even
out, and considerable cooking done
on the stored-up heat. Intelligent
control of the heat supply is neces-
sary both to keep down the electric
bill and produce the best results.
Even gas is often wasted, but the in
visible heat of an electric stove is
easily dissipated unless ones head
guides ones hands in its use. To
this end the set of thermometers for
fats, sugars and oven use that were
employed in these tests is especially
essential with an electric stove,
though the up-to-date housekeeper
cooks by thermometer instead Of by
guesswork whether she be using oil,
gas or electricity.
The oven door Thermometer Is not
at all accurate (they rarely are)
primarily because, being on the out
side, SO to speak, it lags far behind
the inside conditions, as shown by the
fact that it still continues to 20 up
after the oven begins to cool. 1t
helps by indicating uniformity after
fifteen minutes or more, but it can
not trail the oven conditions at all
closely when they are changing.
Only an arbitrary scale is placed on
the circular dial Of the heat indica-
tor, showing that the manufacturers
recognize the limitations of this de-
vice and intend it only for general
guidance.

in the same place-on the bottom,
to one side, and about six inches
back from the door being recon-
mended.
While there was maximum error
OF 10 degrees, correct reading was
given at 1856 degrees, midway of the
scale at an important point, and the
error at 440 was S degrees. AS the
oven varies more than Is degrees in
different parts, this error is not suf-
fciently great to affect the practical
usefulness of the device,
Oven operations vary SO widely in
their demands from roasts to
souffles and back again, as has been
already pointed out-that a good
thermometer in connection with an
up-to-date cookbook that deals in
degrees" and not In generalities
would take about all the uncertainty
out Of cooking.

While the total power rating
(6,80O watts) is quite high. it must
be remembered that it is really more
economical to use high-power burn
ers, since shorter cookery periods ac-
companied by less loss from radia-
ton Of heat results, thus giving
higher efficiency than if less power
were employed.
Another point to be remembered
IS that in many communities a spe-
clal rate is given to the owners of
electric stoves, sometimes as low as
two cents, and in most places not
more than five cents. Often this is
less than half of the regular rate. the
deduction being made because the
stoves are mostly in use when the
demand for power for light is low,
and also to encourage the use Of
electricity.

only half that Of the smaller cast

Flat-Bottomed, Small Utensils
The results prove two things con-
clusively: You will save time and
electricity by having f1at-bottomed
utensils for surface work with con-
cealed elements, and they should be
no larger than is absolutely neces-
sary. This is because the heat is
transferred by onduction-metal to
New-York tribune., 1920-07-25

to $50 degrees took AZ minutes, and
from $50 degrees 81 minutes.
1t Is seen that one can turn off the
heat and have cooking continue for
from one-half an hour to an hour,
depending on the initial tempera-
ture. In other words, you can
coast" and use no power that pro-
portion Of the time--if you remem-
Der to do 1t. Electricity is a subtle,
unseen servant, and 1t takes under
standing to get tho best service
from 1t.
Cooking ON the Stove Top
A number of important points in
the use Of the surface elements
were noted. With the electricity
turned on at high (1,200 watts)
the surface plate became redhot in
seventeen minutes.
Boiling Tests
Boiling tests were then made with
three different utensils. (1) A heavy
cast aluminium straight sided pan,
New-York tribune., 1920-07-25

perfectly fiat on the bottom and
measuring 6A inches in diameter:
One quart of water boiled in this In
four minutes and three seconds after
beng placed on the redhot plate,
and was raised from 70 to 200 de-
grees in three minutes.
(2) An enameled saucepan 7
inches IN diameter, which did not fit
closely to the stove, the center being
raised by the II inch edge around its
circumference: In this it took one
quart of water five minutes and five
seconds to boil, and it reached 200
degrees in four minutes and thirty
two seconds. This pan had an eff
cheney OF 81 per cent as compared
with 112 and 1O4 in the case of the
tightly fitting aluminium vessel.

or long experienced cook "iust
knows" when the oven is right
doesn't help the casual cook or the
inexperienced one. Many a brides
hopes have fallen along with her
bread and cake because she thought
that reading recipe was all there
was to cooking. The handling and
baking are two-thirds Of success,
the recipe is only the foundation.
There is nothing subtle or diff
cult about using a thermometer,
either. In fact, it is much simpler
than not to when the introduction
is once accomplished. Any trained
nurse must read Thermometer. why
not any trained cook? This set of
Taylor household thermometers in
cludes an outstanding one for the
oven (shown on the opened dewn
door Of the oven), candy ther-
mometer, and one for frying fats.
These vary in the limits of the
scales marked on them for different
substances, and the convenient form
adapted to these various uses.
Home Candy Thermometer
No confectioner would try to do
business without thermometer.
Why waste homo sugar or have
candy making a gamble when you
can be sure if you use this instru-
ment? The Taylor Home Candy
Thermometer is accurate, well pro-
tected and good to look at, with
its silver-plated copper framework
and scale. The bulb and tube are
seven inches long, the latter sbeing
