of cake, pastry and rolls, but with the
regulator properly set, an entire meal
can be placed in such an oven and
left to take care of itself for one,
two or even five hours. Some ranges
have a clock arrangement that turns
on and turns of the heat at the time
for which it is set. When these ovens
are insulated with steel wool between
conserved and the use of the oven be-
comes less expensive.
Extra heavy and heat-retaining
aluminium ware, requiring minimum
amount of heat and satisfactory for
baking on top of the stove, Is q boon
to the Woman who has no oven or
who dis1lkes to light large one for
a small amount OF baking. The heavy
cover on heavy frying pan insures
slow cooking with very little heat, and
Is especially satisfactory for cooking
tough meats and stews.
An aluminium bowl, which, because
Of its special finish, will not stain,
will not discolor foods or show spoon
marks, is a welcome new article for
the cooks equipment. 1t is light in
weight, easy to handle and rightly
shaped for stirring, beating, mixing
pie crust or what you wish. It can
be used to hold flowers as well as
food.
1t is hardly necessary to mention
such labor savers as the enamel kitch-
en- table that needs no scrubbing, the
kitchen cabinet to give shelf and
cooking space where one wants it, the
covered roaSter that makes basting
unnecessary, the French dressing bot
tie that goes to the table. An elec-
trie machine that beats and mixes,
kneads bread, mashes potatoes, freezes
ice cream, chops meat and grinds
bread crumbs, is easy to operate and
care for, and is especially valuable

Kitchen Gadgets.
In how many places in the kitchen
do you use a pairing knife? You
should have one in at least two places.
A double e-bladed fruit peeler knife is
made Of stainless steel and has a slit
for scoring. The plain blade peels
oranges and apples to perfection, and
the serrated blade Is shaped to re-
move pith. 1t is possible to cut toma-
toes and soft fruits in uniform slices,
Of any desired thickness, with the
latest improved slicer. A bar acts as
guide in cutting.
Kitchen shears are valuable time
savers. They will often trim vege-
tables more quickly than knife can
do it. For shredding lettuce, cutting
up marshmallows, dried fruits or any
sticky food, scissors are very quick.
Use strong, regular kitchen built
shears and keep them handy, not
tucked away in the back of some
drawer.
A new idea in choppers is one with
circular blade which will do double
duty II you like. It is very efficient
as chopper for all kinds of food and
can also serve as cutter for biscuits,
doughnutS or cookies. There Is q
triple -bladed chopper that does the
work in one-third the time.
You don't have to be an engineer
to understand the latest grapefruit
corer. All it requires is twist of the
wrist and the core is removed COM
pletely. 1t separates rinds from meats
without a casualty, and it may be
used for oranges also.
There is an ingenious little utensil
for preparing potato curls. First, you
peel the potato, then screw the curler
into one end of it. AS you continue
screwing around and around, slowly
and evenly, you obtain a long spiral
of potato ready for frying. This uten-
sill is very simple to use, and provides
an easy way of preparing these at
tractive curly crisps.
A new set of mixing bowls will do
wonders for you, especially if you are
looking forward to a lot of parties
The top bowl Is for the batter; when
you have mixed the batter in it, you
can pour 1t out Good for making
wafles. Very modern is the green
and white middle bowl. The bottom
one is soft blue and white.
Never a speck of -four falls to the
floor when you carry a thickening
agent from the pantry to the griddle
with the new -four sitter, and it may
be used for sugar as well as -four. To
operate, press the handles lightly and
shake the sitter UP and down, not
sideways.
