BACHELOR GIRL
FINDS BOON IN
ELECTRICITY
BY CAROLYN CHESSER
Director of Home Economics
The Electric Institute


The smaller modern electrical
appliances which are now avail
able seem to be especially fitted
to the bachelor girls need.
They also receive sincere ap,
plause from all apartment dwell
crs, since their uses are many and
varied, yet the space they occupy
is very small. The joy Of enter
tanning and of serving nicely,
cooked food with ease is possible,
. for the bachelor girl, even though
the size of her apartment does not
permit her to have the larger elec-
trical cooking devices.
"Jack Of All Trades"
There are electric cookers on
the market in which can be
cooked various combinations OF
food and even entire meals, in
Guiding the dessert. This cooker
can be used for baking, stewing,
roasting, simmering. and steam
ing, and for this reason has been
rightfully called Jack OF All
Trades" but contrary to the COM
pletion of this well-knoWn saying,
it is Master of Them AL"
These electric cookers are at
tractive in appearance and afford
cool method for apartment
cooking. The girl who spends the
day in the office finds it possible
bv using "low heat" to place her
dinner in the cooker before she
leaves for work in the morning
and, upon her return, a delicious
appetizing hot dinner awaits her:
Since the bachelor girl does
not have the time to spend on
food preparation it would be wise
for her to have among her ap'
pliances an electric mixer. This
will shred and slice fruits ana
vegetables, extract fruit juices,
mix coughs and batters. whip
cream and icings, mix drinks OF
all sorts, and perform other tasks
in a short time and with little or
no work. =
Another appliance which is
particularly valuable for apart
ment use is the waffle iron. Inc
wise bachelor girl knows that
there are waffles which are suit
able to be served at any hour OF
the day or night. 81. e
Corn bread waffleS with bits OF
minced bacon, or watfles with
honey and syrup are delicious at
breakfast time.
Plain waffles or biscuit wattles
served with creamed sea food or
chicken make an ideal dinner or
luncheon dish. Cake VARIES,
with ice cream or fruits, and
gingerbread waffles with whipped
cream can easily be served WIN
dessert or for parties.
Delicious Coffee
The bachelor girl is not per-
feet hostess unless she serves ae-
1icious coffee to her friends. TINS
is the least of her worries. now
ever because there are numerous
electric percolators and new COZ
fee makers from which to make
her selection. =,
The electric toaster, an old
friend, is always ready to be OF
real assistance. It provides deli
cately Drowned toast for many
occasions with little effort on the
part of the hostess. Toast IS al
wavs in demand at breakfast
Then, what could be more tempt,
ing than tasty cinnamon toast
with a. cup of tea, or nicely
Drowned points of toast with
creamed dishes? The toaster also
enables the hostess easily and
quickly to make her own crou'
tons from stale bread.
The sandwich grill is invalu
able in making delicious toasted
sandwiches. A tasty hot sand
! wich is always welcome. They
NAV be served at any informal
lunch, party, or gathering, any
time of the day. There are Ger
tain types of grills which may be
used for scrambling eggs. grllllne
chops, steaks, bacon or other
meats. and even for making pan
cakes.
BroiIer Is Handy
Still another appliance which
Il of great value to the bachelor
girl or to anyone dwelling in an
apartment is the new electrical
broiler which may be used at the
table. The tray on which the
meat or vegetables are broiled is
most attractive in appearance
Because of this the necessity OF
transferring the food to another
platter for serving is eliminated
Among the other small appli
ances which have definite ad
I vantage for cooking where space
will not permit the use Of larger
electrical devices are the chafing
dishes and egg cooker sets.
