Tips On Frying Pans
If you are lucky enough TO have
a well-stocked cupboard, it will have
3 different sized frying pans in it,
according to the Oregon Experiment
Station, reports the Consumers Coun-
sci Division.
First, you need big l2-inch pan,
meat, fish, eggs, potatoes for the
whole family.
Then you should have double
skillet, 10 inches in diameter, for
cooking pot roast and frying chickens.
Finally, there should be fryer
about inches wide for small jobs of
cooking food.
Best frying pans are thick and
heavy enough TO prevent warping, yet
light enough to handle without too
much trouble. Look for IA flat even
bottom to be sure it will cook evenly.
Cast iron is inexpensive, durable good
for long, slow cooking. 1t is, however,
bulky to handle
Heat frying pans gradually, and
cool them gradually. Never pour cold
water into a very hot pan; that may
give you warped and uneven pan.
Griddcs that are round will keep
better uniform temperature than
those that are oblong or oval.
Conservation Must Help The People
"Wc must watch out lest conserva-
tion of our physical resources be
pushed with full regard for the loss
of dollars flowing off and down our
streams, but no primary regard for
wasted humanity. 1t is selhshness that
has destroyed our natural resources,
and to plead for conservation merely
to stop the loss Of dollars is to ap-
peal to the same seltishncss that
wrought the destruction.
at is only when human beings be
come the primary objective that con
seryation becomes the highest national
virtue. Conservation can never be
come our master plan except as ma
tion restitution for a great wrong
done-not only to land, but to peo-
e."-Henry A. Wallace, Vice Presi-
dent of the United States.
