One hundred and fifty pounds were
supported on the outer edge.
The broiler element in the top of
the oven has eight open, glowing
heat coils Is inches long and IL
inches apart. An open element
always heats up much faster than a
concealed one, and besides it's ability
as "browner" and broiler this
feature may be used to hasten the
bringing of the oven to high heat.
The open coils are covered by
eight wires fastened crosswise 2
inches apart to prevent accidental
contact. Asbestos covered wires lead
in the electricity through a hole
in the side of the oven. The oven
element is inclosed between sheet
steel plates. 1t is Is inches square
and rests u inches above the oven
floor, being hinged at the back so
that it can be easily raised to clean

What the Oven Can Do

The oven is quick to heat up and
slow to give heat off. With the broil-
er and the oven element both at high
it took only about six minutes to
bring the oven to moderately slow
heat (300 degrees); In ten minutes
the temperature was hot (400 de-
grees), and in about thirteen min
utes it was very hot (550 degrees).
The fact that the rate Of heating
was almost as good at high heat as
at low shows good insulation. Dur
ing the heating tests 1t is only fair
to say that the door was opened

cal thermometer and found to be ac-
curate to within one degree
throughout, a negligible error for
household uses, about two degrees
being the maximum error allowable
in candy thermometer, and even
this should be corrected. The
housekeeper can always check her
thermometer by reading it in boiling
water when it should be at PIP de-
grees. At very high attitudes the
boiling point is somewhat lower, SO
mixtures should not be heated quite
so hot.
The cleaning of the thermometer
is important. First dissolve off the
adhering candy in hot water, wash
in hot soapy water, and rinse in
clear hot water, drying carefully.
If this is not done syrup remaining
from previous use might spoil an
entire batch Of candy by starting
sugaring.
Meet the Sugarmeter
A sugarmeter is an instrument
to tell you just how thick a syrup
you are getting, and is very useful
in jelly making, etc., as you can
tell by reading the scale whether
the amount of sugar used produces
a "thin" syrup (12 to 20 degrees on
the Balling scale, as it is called), or
"heavy" syrup, which is so to 60
degrees. The Taylor sugarmeter is
five inches long from the bottom
to the mark to which it sinks in
pure distilled water Zero on the
Balling scale). Thus no smaller
vessel than one five inches deep and

Wiring and Control Panel

The wiring is unusually simple
and good, insulation is we'll taken
care Of, and the switches are con-
structed in accordance with the best
construction practice.
The narrow vertical white enamel
control panel shown between the
oven and the cooking top is inches
wide and 19 inches high. One above
the other are the five snap switches
controlling the broiler, the oven and
the left, center and right surface
plates. Each one of these has
marked on it four positions to which
the dark metal pointer may be
turned, to give a high, medium or
low heat The top position at which
the markers rest in the photograph
turns the power off.
At the very top of the column is
seen the Hubbell "T" slot attach
ment socket, to which any lamp
socket device (percolator, toaster,
iron, grill, etc. may be attached,
providing it has Gas it should have
for uniformity and convenience a
parallel bladed, separable plug. This
is very novel and convenient fea-
ture Of the range.
Around the corner, back of the
control panel, is the white enameled
side splasher, which lifts out easily
and makes the entire wiring of the
machine readily accessible. Sepa-
rate fuses for each Of the five ele-
ments are found here, and they could
be readily disconnected and replaced
by any amateur armed with a pair
of pliers.

metal-not by radiation, as with an
open element, and because the larger
the vessel the more loss Of heat there
is by radiation--an important point
in cooking with electricity where
heat conservation is SO important
for the sake of economy.
These experiments were made
starting with the top redhot. Start
ing with the plate cold, one quart of
water was raised to from II degrees
F to 200 in eleven minutes and five
seconds and boiled in thirty-eight
seconds longer. This is only a 33
per cent thermal efficiency, but it
must always be remembered the
heat has been stored up in the lid,
and this should be used. For in
stance at this point the heat was
turned to low and the boiling con-
tinued indefinitely.
In another case a quart of boil
ing water was placed on the redhot
plate and the heat at once turned
off completely. 1t continued to boil
for t1Oenty-o1ae minutes on the stored
heat. The heat was then turned to
high and the water brought to a vio-
lent boil in six minutes. And when
turned at this point to low the boil
ing continued indefinitely.
