OLD OVEN TEST STILL USED

Sheet of Linen Writing Paper Placed In Stove Will Show the Temperature. \ The old-fashioned test for ascertaining the heat of the oven before putting in a cake to bake is still in good standing even among the cook-ing-school generation of cooks. Tha. writing paper test is the fkvorite one. Lay a sheet of ordinary linen writing paper in the oven and let it stay for five minutes —by the clock. If the paper is just nicely browned in that time the oven ip hot enough for loaf scorched, the oven is too hot and must be cooled by leaving a crack in the door, opening the ventilator or setting a cup of cold water in the oven to lower the temperature.
