turLb up! Inc latest Is the deep
fryer, that plugs in anywhere and
with which the most inexperienced
cook can produce perfectly fried food.
This utensil Is ideal for cooking any
number Of things, such as doughnuts,
French fried potatoes, any kind of
small fish, as well as many other
foods.
The fryer is very compact and has
many unusual features. The first is
that the heating unit is on the sides
Of the base and not at the bottom,
50 that the frying compound does not
boil at the bottom. The idea in this
is that when you drop the basket Of
food in to be fried, the particles that
break of and drop down do not be-
come charred. therefore. you don't
get that terrific frying odor and all
the smoke. which should be a big
help in q small house or apartment.
The fat is also kept from becoming
favored from food. so that it can be
used over and over again. It requires
three pounds Of fat, but there is no
waste, for when you finish cooking
you let the kettle cool of, put the
top on and place 1t in the refrigerator
until the next time. The only thing
you have to wash is the basket. This
basket Is very nice, for Is has a re-
movable handle, making it easy to
put away. There Is also q basket
Of smaller mesh for cooking popcorn
and nuts.
When your frying compound or lard
becomes filled with little particles of |
food wait until ready to use and then |
heat the sides sufficiently to let the |
cake Of fat drop out and then scrape |
of all the pieces that have settled |
to the bottom.

A MOTHER good electrical appliance
Is the new washing machine that !
Is completely automatic. All you have
to do is set few controls and then |
forget about your laundry! It will
do everything but hang the things on
the line to get thoroughly dry.
Set the dial for the temperature
Of water necessary. depending on
whether you want things to soak or
not before washing. There is also a
dial that is set according to the ma
terial being washed, such as wool. silk
or linen; this also takes care of fast
colors.
The machine puts the laundry
through three rinses and then dries
1t. so that when you remove it, it Is
what is known as damp dry"-the
exact state Of damp dry is something
I am not quite sure about. At least
I do know that you don't have to
take out heavy wet linens and put
them through wringer machine!
This machine is very attractive look
ing as 1t is all white and only stands
about "a inches high and has a per-
fectly plain nat top. It resembles a
small electric refrigerator.
A NEW trick that I found is the
timer clock" that is very smart
in appearance and unusually ef1icient,
for 1t does more than just tell time.
In the back of the clock is an outlet
Plug OF $50 watts. This means that
you can plug your radio. percolator,
casserole dish or anything else of low
wattage into the clock Around the
face of the clock are set of tiny
keys, each representing IS minutes.
Now when you plug in that casserole
dish. or whatever it is. pull out the
key on the minute that you want 1t
to start cooking. then pull out as many
consecutive keys that will equal the
amount of cooking time necessary.
You can 60 out and never bother about
it again until you return home, when
1t has finished cooking and is ready
to be eaten. should think that this
would be ideal for a percolator-just
fix everything the night before, then
set the keys for q certain time in the
