There are busy days ahead
for your broiler during August
and early September. So get IL
out. If by chance it has been
used only occasionally, and plan
to let it work for you during
the summer days that still lie
ahead. For while hot weather
lasts, the mixed grill type of
meal Is helful to any cook who
wants to make a speedy job of
meal-getting.
The mixed grill Of fruit, ham,
and tomatoes will require only
q little more than 20 minutes
to prepare-while the actual
broiling Is a cool clean simple
procedure If yours is one of those
boons for homemakersea mo-
dern electric range. A single
turning for the ham bundles in
fact, is all the attention this
particular dinner requires, yet
when the cooking Is complete,
the ham will be slightly curled
and crisp, the banana and pine
apple within each roll hot and
mellow.
Follow the directions that
come with your electric range
regarding the manner of pre-
heating for broiling. But remem-
Der that for all electric broiling
the unit should be a glowing
cherry red before the food, ar
ranged on q cold broiler rack,
Is placed underneath the broiler
itself. Do not worry about smoke,
for the new-type electric broiler
pans with which electric ranges
are now equipped, protect the
drippings from the direct heat
30 that broiling becomes prac-
tically m o k e ess. Moreover,
there is no scattering and there
Is nothing to catch fire.

directions for preparing this 20
minute grilled supper. AS q menu
