RANGES
Are you making full use of
your range so that cooking is
easier and more fun? Using
your range to its utmost can
pay off in dividends of better
tasting food and more time
for you.
Read your instruction book
again after you’ve used the
range for a while This book
is really a help to using your
range and can give you many
suggestions and hints.
If you have a gas stoye,
make sure it’s adjusted prop
erly. Then it will burn clean
er and have less waste. Learn
at what heat to set your tem
perature control to bring
things to a boil the quickest.
This helps make food good,
and nutritious.
Most heat controls are set
for a medium weight of alu
minum pan. You need to
have controls adjusted if you
use a different weight of met
al or glass
Use pans that are flat on
the bottom and not warped
so they make complete con
tact with the gas or electric
unit This cuts down on
wasted heat and you won’t
have “hot spots” in the bot
tom of your pans
Each ot the parts of your
stove has different instruc
tions to get the most use from
it If you have a griddle,
wash and take good care of
it. Learn to clean your oven
properly and be careful to
put units back in correctly
You might plan more oven
meals, also.
Your broiler doesn’t need
to be hard to clean The
main secret is to keep it
from heat after you’re thru
cooking on it. Read the in
struction book to learn how
to use it If your broiler is
too large or really hard to
clean, you might look at the
new broiler pans coming on
the market.

keeping your carpet looking
its best, despite spills and
accidents.

can be removed if the proper
remover is applied while the
stain is fresh. Collect stain

your stain removal kit:
Absorbent cheesecloth,
blotting paper, medicine

tula carbon tetrachloride,
cornstarch or French chalk,

ured alcohol, white vinegar,
oxalic acid and hou c ehold
ammonia (both d'luted to
naif strength), and neutral
(non-alkalme) detergent (the
type used for washing de'L
cate fabrics
The procedure:
MUD - sponge with cold
water; if the stain remains,
