New Appliances Put Bounce Back Into Doddering Old Kitchen

What’s it like to have a oneyear old kitchen in a 75 year-old converted farm house? Mrs. Patricia Brennan of Larchmont, N.Y., has the answer to that question. “It’s marvelous,’’ says Mrs. Brennan, whose antiquated, poorly arranged kitchen was remodeled into a step-saving, worksaving, all-electric kitchen last summer. “Without tearing down walls or blocking, off doorways, we’ve doubled the elbow room, working space and counter areas of the old kitchen,” says Mrs. Brennan, who has four schoolage children and needs all the space she can get. Actually, the only "counter” space the old kitchen had was a square table in the center of the room. All the food preparation had to be done there, with much wasted walking to and fro. The table was done away with, and counters and cabinets were added between the electric range and sink and on either side of the new automatic dishwasher. Across the room from the range-sink-dishwasher wall, a “sandwich center”, was constructed between a two-door electric refrigerator-freezer and a new, oblong table which comfortably seats the entire family. Although the remodeling required no architectural changes, it did include efficient new electric equipment to lighten cooking and cleanup chores and to store plenty of nourishing foods for family and friends. Almost every weekend, the Brennans entertain relatives and

guests, and it’s not unusual for them to have 10 children and 12 adults to dinner. On such occasions Mrs. Brennan puts to good use every bit of space in her 23-inch electric oven. Meat and potatoes, a vegetable, layer cake and biscuits can easily be ,done simultaneously, she points out. When Mrs. Brennan w'ants to take the children out after school, she simply puts the roast in the oven and sets the automatic timers to start cooking at 3:30 and to turn off at 6 o’clock. When she and the children return, dinner’s just about ready. A two-door electric refrigeraI tor-freezer is the “only answer,” Mrs. Brennan believes, when ; there are four small children

opening and closing the door at lunch time and after school. “They can easily get their snacks from the refrigerator section without letting warm air inside the freezer section. Frost simply doesn’t form at all, which is a tremendous time saver. There’s no messy defrosting cleanup ever,” explains Mrs. Brennan. Mrs. Brennan never had, owned an electric dishwasher before the remodeling was done. Now she doesn’t know how she ever got along without one. “I, only need to use it once a day, except on weekends when we have company. Pots and pans go right in with my tableware, and all come out clean and dry. It works fine and saves hours of standing at the sink,” she say*.

Today's Trend: More Windows In Every Home ■ In late 17th century England, a property owner’s tax was often based on the number of windows in his house, in those days, when windows were a luxury, an abundance of them was a sure sign of wealth. Today, windows are taken for granted as a necessary adjunct of good living and have long since ceased to be a luxury. Last year, for example, the average new single-family house had. more than 17 windows, according to a survey of approximately 1500 builders throughout the country. The survey was conducted by the Bureau of Building Marketing Research, an affiliate of the national magazine, Practical Builder. Wood continues to be the most popular window framing material. For example, 85 per cent of the double-hung windows installed in 1962 were of wood—a four per cent increase over 1960, according to the survey. . One reason often cited for the popularity of wood windows is their availability in a wide range of stock sizes and styles. Most wood windows today are made of durable ponderosa pine which has high dimensional stability and is easily machined to assure precise fit. Wood windows are preferred for electrically heated homes be-

cause wood is a natural insulator, and also lends itself to the use of built-in weather stripping. These features help keep electric heating costs low. In addition, wood windows resist the formation of condensation which can damage curtains and walls. The survey, which compared 1960 and 1962 statistics, also shows that the double-hung window is by far the most popular type for residential use. Last year, according to the survey, 46 per cent of all windows were double-hung units, the familiar type that slides up from* the bottom and down from the top. Hori-, zontal sliding windows were next with 20 per cent

Too Hot to Cook? Let Electric Range Do it for You If it’s too hot to cook, don’t! Let an automatic electric range do it for you while you get out of the # kitchen. You can prepare a complete oven meal-meat, vegetables, and dessert—put it in the electric oven, set the automatic controls, and leave. The oven will go on at the set time, cook at the set temperature, and turn off automatically after the set length of time. And you’H find that when you come home the kitchen won’t be sweltering from escaped oven heat. Electric' ovens are thoroughly insulated at top, bottom, and sides to keep heat inside where it belongs — cooking the food, not the family. Surface cooking units of the new automatic electric ranges also help keep the kitchen cool. Since the electric element is in contact with the pot or pan, heat is transferred directly into the food, not out at the sides to heat the kitchen. In addition, some electric elements can be adjusted at the push of a button to one of three differ-ent-sized areas of heat to fit A small, medium, or large pans. When a small pan is used, only the section of coil directly under it is heated, so there’s no wasted heat warming the kitchen.
