Hou) To Save Current And Obtain The Best Results From Your Range

essary to buy all new utensils. However, we do recommend that, as utensils have to be replaced, you select flat bottomed ones with straight walls, in sizes to fit the diifferent elements. Flate bottomed utensils (preferably with the bottoms blackened) that are large enough to cover an element, reduce heat losses and therefore, save electricity while speeding up the cooking. Waler boils at 212 degrees F. nnd food will not cook more rapidly in vigorously boiling water than in water which is bubbling gently. Therefore, leave your switch on •'High" only long enough to bring the water to a boil then turn it to “Low”, for otherwise you are merely wastinig electricity, vitamins and flavor, while sending the water off in steam. Keep your pans tigihtly covered to retain heat and juices which would otherwise pass away in steam. Do not open oven door or remove lids from utensils oftener tthan is . necesasry. The oven control will' keep the oven at the proper temperature and by opening the door you cool the oven and the oven | control has to turn on more cur-, rent to make up for the heat loss. Therefore, trust to your recipe and ■ leave the food in the oven until; the time is up. When you have to use the oven 1 for roasting, plan to cook as many other foods in it as possible. There are many vegetables which can be cooked better in the oven than on I the surface elements. Keep elements clean and free from foreign matter. Use containers only sufficiently large to hold food to be cooked, yet wide enough to cover the element on which you place them. When preheating and using oven it is advisable to keep smokeless broiler pan in top rack of broiler compartment thereby retaining all available heat in main oven. Use no water when cooing meats and very little with vegetables.

In electric cookery only enough water is necessary to create steam. An excessive amount of water simply lengthens the period required for the cooking and destroys much of the natural flavor of the food.
