light utensils for quick cooking,
heavier ones for the longer processes,
advises the CONSUMERS GUIDE,
publication of the Consumers Counsel
Division of the A. A. A.
"For quick boiling on the top of the
stove, choose fast heating pan, such
as one of enamel or pressed aluminium
of medium thickness which will not
dent
"For oven roasting, select roaster
with smooth interior surface and a
rack to hold the meat. With the ex-
ception of veal, most meat roasts have
been found to cook best in uncovered
pans. Enamel and thin aluminium
make good roasters for quick cooking.
Heavy aluminium, steel, and iron are
best for long oven cooking.
"For baking cake and mullins, eX-
perts say you should use tin or alum
mum containers. Glass rates second
while enamel is the last choice.
"For cooking cream puffs and bak-
ing powder biscuits, aluminium baking
sheets have been found most satisfac-
tory. If you want an evenly Drowned
product, use sheets minus sides. Kitch-
en- researchers have found that sides
act as a battle to the heat, cause the
bottom of the cookies or biscuits to
brown much more rapidly than the
top. Tin is not considered good buy
in the long run. 1t blackens easily and
heats inefficiently."
These Consumers Savey by Budgeting
You can make your income stretch
further if you put your family spend
ing on an account book basis, writes
the CONSUMERS GUIDE/ publica-
ton of the Consumers Counsel Divis-
ion of the A. A. A. Here are "3 case
histories" of account-keeping rural
families reported in the GUIDE.
One woman said: 81 have proved to
myself in the months that | have
kept the family account book that it
is valuable aid in helping me to get
the most out of the money | have to
spend each month" Looking over her
records she found she was spending
$5 month for soft drinks, and almost
$l3 for meals away from home "un-
necessarily" She was spending over
$50 month just for food for 2 peo-
pie. Result: in one month the food
bill was cut $40; in months, "every
account was from 81 to $40 lower"
Another account keeper reported:
"My husband used to laugh at my ef-
forts in keeping accounts, but he
doesn't laugh any more. We have
found that our grocery bill has drop.
ped S12 a month, even though the
children are eating more. We have
found that by buying in quantity we
can save a great deal. When | buy
one can of tomatoes it casts 10 cents
but | can get 3 cans for rs cents by
buying in quantity in town."
A third homemaker went over the
list of her food purchases and match
ed it against the standards for "ade
quate diets at moderate cost" sugTest
ed by the bureau of Home Economies
Department Of Agriculture. She dis
covered that her family-like man!
others-had diet top-heavy in pro
tein foods such as meat, fish and eggs
In few months she could write: awe
have cut down our grocery bill ane
besides that we all feel better"
