During the summer months we
should save ourselves as mucn uh-
necessary work as we can. FOR TINS
reason once or twice a week ca a.,
wavs try to cook meals which VIII
last two days. Such dinners may
have, as the main d1sh, polleu,
potted, casseroled meats OF even We
roasts of any kind. 1t is Wen,
known fact that many Doneo anu a,lu
ported meat dishes are better Ie

days.
Boiling in the electric range oven
Is no trouble and radiates no heat
But many people make the mistake
of starting food in this manner at
low" heat which takes a very
long time to bring it to Doll. l
always start on high heat so that
# comes to a quick boil and then
reduce the electricity to low ana
LET It simmer for several hours.
COrned Beef and Cabbage
wash the piece of corned beef
first and then put 1t in Dig POT
which will also hold the cabbage. !
vinegar to make it tender. Cooking
in the electric range oven also does
not require as much water as Woulo
be needed when cooked on top
,nif so / nut in only about quart
of water. When it comes to Doll
| add the cabbage and switch the
! electricity to t'low'' and let the meat
and cabbage simmer. Thus the
cabbage is really steamed and re-
tains all its strength in addition tc
absorbing the taste of the meat.
When the several hours of simmer
ing are over the corned beef ana
cabbage is ready to serve.
The next day make corned beer
hash by chopping 1t in the electric
kitchen aid together with half q
bell pepper, an onion, four boiled
potatoes, an egg, and season to
taste. The cabbage, If there Is any
left, / bake and serve with little
melted butter. If there Is none, /
use the water in which the corned
beef and cabbage was cooked to
boil string beans. This gives the
beans a very delicious flavor

Buy enough lamb for two days.
Wash it and put 1t in a large cas-
serole dish, together with two cup
fuls of water. five or more small
onions and four diced carrots. Sea-
son with salt, pepper and q pinch
of cayenne and put into the cleo.
trtic range oven which has been
preheated to a temperature or 400
degrees Fahrenheit. After half
hour. switch the electricity TO
low" cover the casserole tightly.
after adding the necessary quantity
os potatoes, and let it simmer for
two hours. switching off the cur
rent about half hour before remov-
ing the casserole from the oven.
This is because the electric range
oven is Theoretically sealed. and the
heat is stored instead of escaping.
So il you turn off the electricity
half an hour in advance the food
will finish cooking in the stored
heat and you will save yourself
the amount 1t would cost to keep
the current on for that length of
time
Roast Prime Ribs Of Beef.
Two ribs Of beef will be, as a
rule, sufficient for a family Of four
and will easily last two days even
though the members of the family
are hearty eaters. After thorough
ly washing and drying the meat
put 1t in a bake pan, pour in two
cupfuls of water, sprinkle with
pepper, salt and flour and add two
sliced onions. Have the electric
range oven heated to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit and leave 1t at this until
the roast is thoroughly Drowned.
then switch to ''IowV and continue
the roasting, allowing eighteen
minutes to each pound of meat.
Add potatoes and onions, IL you so
desire, about an hour before the
