over the kettle containing meat. or
soup, or potatoes. the action of the
water may be plainly seen through the
glass, and the contents may be kept
at Sinmering point or made to boil,

slices lemons, carves grapefruit, and
cuts oranges and apples. The glass
spoon Is useful for blending a salad,
stirring a custard or blanc mango, and
mixing the butter and sugar together
when making cake. The knife remains
sharp no matter how often it is used.
Wooden spoons are useful because
their rounding handles are easy on the
hand. and they do not discolor the
mixture in any way. When used for
stirring or mixing on the stove, they
are especially useful, as the handles
do not become heated.

the blade.

lift steaming ears of corn from Kettle,
remove baked potatoes. and even very
light layer cakes or individual cakes
from the oven. In the canning season
it is of great help. as it is strong enough
to lift pint jars filled with boiling vege-
tables or fruit, and it is a great help in
the sterilized jars. With it one may
remove hard-boiled eggs from a sauce
pan, and turn boiling meat over quickly
while it is in the kettle.
You may have in your kitchen one
spatula but set of three in different
sizes will prove to be just three times
as useful. There is scarcely any under
taking in cookery in which one of the
three will not be found useful. The
largest Will turn pancakes, ice cake,
mix the shortening into the flour and
perform other services. The smallest
spatula will ice tiny cakes. mix mus
tard or mayonnaise, and perform other
duties.
Two standard measuring cups are
enough if you keep their uses distinct.
Select cne with a lip and rim for
measuring liquids and fats, and the
other without, for measuring dry ma
terials. Both should be divided into
quarters and thirds.
