Appliance Has Many
Culinary Uses
By LAWRENCE CROLIUs.

A new cooking appliance now
makes it possible for small, mex
pensive homes to enjoy electric cook
ing at minimum cost and without
the expense and bother of installing
special power supply lines. If you
have always wanted to put in an
electric stove and have been re-
strained because you thought it
would be too expensive due to cost
of equipment and the running of
heavy lines. you have the answer
to your problem in this new unit.
No miniature stove or portable
broiler is this new cooking unit. how
ever. 1t is sturdily constructed of
enameled steel with rugged welded
steel frame, and stands 36 inches
high with a width of % inches and
3312 inch length. Up on topsides it
has a combination surface and
broiler unit which has three heats
and enables you to do all sorts of
amazing things in the culinary art.
The surface unit has heavy cast
aluminium grid plate to transfer heat
quickly and evenly and makes it
simple matter to fry eggs like a
professional whip up griddle cakes
and all sorts of grilled products.
This grill plate is also removable
so that you can use it for serving
platter if you want to and clean
1t easily.
Three Heat Combinations.
Under the grid plate is located the
broiler compartment nicely inclosed
by hinged door of porcelain enamel,
inside and out, The compartment
is made of porcelain enamel. also, to
withstand intense heat, and is
equipped with deep-drawn broiler
pan with a plated steel rack A
cool plastic dial gives you instant
control of the three heat combina-
tons of 600 1900 and l 800 watts.
Beside the grid plate, and filled from
the top, is an l8-quart size roaster
oven. This convenient arrangement
is definite innovation in this type
of stove and should be very handy
to use 1t is thermostatically con-
trolled from the off position to
800 degrees, and in it you can pre-
pare meals. bake, stew. do canning
and all sorts of things in the three
piece porcelain enameled cooking
set which is provided. An adjust
able steel rack, which is plated to
prevent rusting, also is included. In
this the canning and picking work
Is performed and it also provides
space for baking pans This rack is
designed TO simplify the business of
lifting things in and out of the
sunken roaster oven. A handsome.
cleaning steel lid covers over this
clever new oven, and is furnished
with streamlined handle which is
said to be cool to the fingers.
Not only do you have all this
working space in the new stove,
but there is also a space under the
broiler where dishes may be warmed,
and the underside of the whole
unit is one big storage space, where
you can hide everything from Or
ange juicers to sizable kitchen
utensils. Three big meals a day
can be prepared on this unit with
ease, and, don't forget, 1t can be
plugged into an ordinary light
socket via its extra long. heavy
duty cord Operating costs should
also be held at minimum, because
the entire oven is efficiently insu-
lated with glass wool, which can
not absorb moisture and cause
current leakage.
Watch Foundation.
II you are figuring on having some
sort of resilient floor covering put
down in a basement game room, or
possibly sun porch or kitchen, be
sure that you lay it on a substantial
foundation. BY resilient floor COW
erings we mean the various asphalt
and rubber tiles, linoleum and SINH
lar products.
To be really satisfactory floor
ing foundation should be able to
adhere securely to the subf1oor,
whether it is old or new concrete,
wood, metal or even pre-cast gyp-
hum tile. 1t should also stand up
when applied at so-called feather
edge" over concrete and not shrink,
expand, buckle or crack. The speed
with which it can be laid and when
1t may be walked on also help to
determine its desirability.
These important factors are we'll
covered by new floor underlay-
ment, we are advised, and with
only a small amount of preparatory
work this new material can be put
down on any of the above sub
floors, and you can rest assured
that the installation isn't going to
curl up. 1t comes in dry powder
form and is mixed with only sand
and water. After being poured onto
the surface and leveled with
trowel it will dry in one hour so
that you can walk on it. After "a
hours any flooring material can be
laid on it, and that sounds like
mighty short time to us.
This new material can also be
used as concrete patching sub
stance, in which case you use it
without mixing with sand. 1t starts
to set in about 10 minutes, so mix
It In rather small quantities, like a
5-gallon pail.
