Kitchen Planning lmportont
/. Representatives from Hotpoint,
Inc. discussed the Importance Of
kitchen planning at their meeting.
Kitchens. they said. should have
three work-saving centers: Food
storage. clean up and cooking.
With the use Of models they
demonstrated that remodeling or
the purchase Of new equipment
does not necessarily mean you
come UP with an efficient kitchen.
It's the placing of the equipment
that counts. Another point they
stressed was this the en-
frances to the kitchen should be
the entry to a production line
OF preparation and serving.
Refriserote Apples
Keep your apples in the re-
frigerator. was the advice given to
food editors by Mr.. Samuel Fraser.
secretary of the International
Apple Association. ''If the apple
is stored where it cannot get a
change Of air and if kept warm
so that its life activities 60 on
rapidly, the carbon dioxide will
so I'LL its cellular space that it
suffocates and dies quickly" he
said.
There's plenty behind the old
saying Of IAN apple a day" /.
here's a fruit that contains iodine.
|pectin. cellulose, simple sugars,
calcium. iron, copper plus the
vitamins A and c. Most Of the
vitamin c in apples is usually in
the peel or just under the peel,
thus small apples with q greater
percentage Of skin are richer
sources. Something to remember
when you tuck an apple into the
|children's lunch box. Mr.. Fraser
also emphasized the color factor
yellow skin should not always
be associated with cooking apples
as some of the yellow varieties
are good for eating out-of- hand.
The Golden Delicious Is an excel
lent example of this.
