ing y hot water. Bake in 350-de-
gree oven 40 minutes, or until a
silver knife inserted comes out clean
To the lady who offered the real
Chinese recipes. I should like to
have the one similar to Wun Tun
At Shanghi Lows in San Francisco,
we had a delicious dish that was
like French fried Ravioli with a
delicious sweet-sour tomato sauce
1t was called Wun Tun, believe.
During this damp weather if a
glass is kept over the salt shaker
t will remain dry and usable.
Parsley added to dumping dough
is added food value as well as en-
nanced flavor.
Recently tried French fried sweet
potatoes for the first time. They
are delicious. Must be soaked in
salt water for y hour before cook
ingD If cooked properly, French
fried food doesn't absorb as much
grease as ordinary pan-fried foods.
ELECTRIC DISHWASHER.
From Mrs. r. B. S., Garrett Park
In return for the many delicious
recipes which I have gotten from
RICH I would like to send the in
formation requested by Mrs. j. S.
B., Washington, on the efficiency
and servicing of my electric dish
washer. I have had mine seven
years. It is the automatic kind
with the door opening at the front
like an oven. For the efficiency
it does a perfect job on plates and
things that are loaded in the bot.
tom. coffee cups and glasses grad
ually accumulate a stain and have
to be scrubbed every few weeks.
Pans that require scrubbing will
not come clean. 1t will not get
pan or dish used for cake baking
clean, but is perfect for removing
grease. I consider that it saves
time, energy and hands, but is
definitely not substitute for q
maid.
Concerning the servicing-the
water is thrown around by a plastic
thing called an impeller. If any
thing gets in it the impeller breaks
with a horrible noise. I have had
three break. Two because the chill
dren let silverware get down in the
bottom and the third for no reason
I could see. it just got tired and
flew to pieces. Each new one costs
about 81 and was installed by my
husband. No dishes have ever been
bl oxen or injured by the dishwasher.
The dishwasher now has its
fourth motor. The second was put
is during the first year of guar
antee, the third motor was put
in November, 1948, and cost $21,
plus $3.50 labor to install. 1t went
bad within a couple Of weeks and
was replaced by the fourth motor
without charge.
The dishwasher now has its third
timer, which does not work right.
Instead of turning off it goes back
over tis cycle again. The second
timer was installed January, 1948,
costing $40, plus $3.50 for labor.
The third one was put in without
cost in November, 194S, and I am
waiting for the fourth to be in
stalled without cost. At the same
time the fourth timer Is installed
the repairman expects to install
the third switch (Which I have to
pay for). The second switch was
put in with the second motor dur
ing the first year of guarantee.
1t has its second set Of gaskets
which cost SO. not installed. I un-
derstand there is one more thing
that can go wrong and that is the
that opens and closes
the drain.
Now. want to know, has any one
else had that much trouble?
