Kitchen scales are one of the most
important items you can have in
your kitchen equipment. They are
a must for speedy canning and
freezing, but you will find that they
have many other uses too.
For many years continental cooks,
professional chefs and bakers have
weighed recipe ingredients. Weigh
ing is more accurate than measur-
ing by the cup and it is faster too,
especially if you are using large
quantities
For example, it has been proven
by test that measuring a cup of
shortening takes 10 seconds on a
scale, % seconds with a cup. And
with scales, no cup to wash, for you
just use a piece of wax paper to
weigh the shortening and transfer it
to your recipe ingredients. Of
course this does not apply to liquid
shortening such as cooking oils.
Some kitchen scales have a special
section on the dial for shortening, or
butter, by the cup.
Recently, through the courtesy of
a friend, l had the privilege of look
ing over several copies of Good
Housekeeping" editions published
in England and all the recipes were
given by weight instead of measure
ment, which gives proof to what I
have written. The magazine, by the
way, was also much smaller that the
one published in this country but
used the same cover and make up.
Your cook book, that is most of them,
gives you corresponding measure
ments and weights. 1t is a good
idea to keep a chart of these meas
urements posted in your kitchen for
ready reference
For instance, you will find that 2
cups of butter equals a pound, and
likewise 2 cups of granulated sugar
GdUdIS d HOuIIO, GbC.
Here are a few suggestions that
may help you in using your scales
Meat. How long should it roast?
Cook book gives time in minutes per
pound. When you've weighed your
roast, you can easily figure when it
should go into the oven. Meat
thermometer will show exactly when
roast reaches the stage of doneness
you want. When you freeze meat,
write the weight of each piece on
the label. Saves time later.
Cheese. Does your souffle or
Welsh rabbit recipe call for a cup of
grated cheese? For quick measur-
ing, weigh out a A-pound chunk.
One-fourth of cheese, after you've
grated it, just fills a cup.
Cake Layer Perfection. Have
trouble getting layers the same size?
This is your answer-just weigh the
same amount of batter into each pre-
pared cake pan. The layers will
match more perfectly. Weigh bat
ter the same way when you want to
make your fruit cake uniform size.
Canning Speed-up. Measuring SUI
gar and fruit by the pound instead
of by cup saves time when you can,
or freeze, make jams and preserves.
Weigh your pan first and allow for
this when weighing fruit or sugar.

Have you found that even after
you've cleaned your refrigerator
thoroughly foods such as butter be-
come tainted? It's probably because
you're also storing fragrant foods
like melons, cabbage and kale. Here
is an easy trick that works like mag
ic. Place a piece of charcoal on one
of the refrigerator shelves. IF you
have large refrigerator, use a piece
on each of two shelves.) 1t will
absorb and hold all the odors so
foods stay sweet. It's good idea to
replace it with a fresh piece when
you clean the refrigerator. Or place
it in a warm oven for few minutes
to freshen it SO you can use it again
