Porcelain enamel cookware qualifies in both categories. Porcelain enamel was originally used only as an art form. Though Cleopatra sported porcelain enamel jewelry, she had no idea that today’s homemaker would enjoy the benefits of this material in cookware and other kitchen and laundry appliances. Made by fusing highly durable glass to metal, the material may appear under several names - among them “glass-lined,” and “porcelainized.” The resulting product, tougher than that of years ago, boasts chip, rust, stain, acid, alkali and odor resistance. Of course, handled carelessly, porcelain enamel can chip. Use sensible precautions to obtain maximum use of these products. For example, a rubber sink mat used while washing cookware prevents chips and scratches. If possible, pots and pans should not be stacked one inside the other. When pots must be stacked, cushion the porcelain enamel finish with a paper towel or cloth placed between each pot. Detergent or soap and warm water used promptly will remove any normal stains or soil from porcelain. Bumt-on grease comes off with a steel wool soap pad rubbed gently on the stain. Grease build-ups can even be scraped off with a razor blade just as you would remove paint from a win dowpane. Then, use a cleanser on a wet sponge and rinse thrroughly. For severe stains which seem to defy steel wool treatment, one manufacturer suggests the use of a spray-on oven cleaner. Follow package instructions and avoid contact with any polished aluminum surfaces since discoloration may occur. Do not use this method ex cessively since it may cause the porcelain to dull or fade. For the best care and prevention of any stain build up, soak porcelain enamel Farm Women Calendar Thursday, September 5 Farm Women Society 20 meeting at 1:30 p.m. Vivian Hess,- Jane Ferguson hostesses.

It seems that porcelain enamel, some 2400 years old, will continue to age beautifully with tender care. Blushing Oyster Is Not Dangerous If the oyster in your stew blushes up at you, don’t worry. Occasional coloration in oysters has been traced to a red plant coloration or algae which usually does not appear until an oyster is frozen or cut while being shucked. Certain algae, when eaten by an oyster will result in the oyster assuming the same coloration as the plant. Oysters occasionally feed very heavily on red organisms and the pigment is then contained in the tissue of the oyster until it is finally digested. The red pigment is entirely harmless to humans and should be of no concern to the oyster consumer. This phenomenon has been recorded for more than 25 years and probably was occurring before that time. Oysters are subjected to close surveillance by regulatory agencies to in sure that oysters reaching the consumer are of a uniform high quality and in good condition. Healthy oysters may be green, brown, yellowish red or even black. There are many reasons for these variations in color. The most common reason in all cases is the particular food organisms upon which the oyster feeds. Occasionally, coloration is caused by minerals in the water. The coloration of oysters does not in any way affect their eating quality, however. __ ——Agway - gi your oil heating system a new heart for only You're burning up money every winter if your oil burner won't hold its tune, needs constant repairs, frequent service For only $179 95 plus tax Agway's expert servicemen can install a new Model 40J burner, including a new primary control in just a couple of And this is a quality burner that's generous with heat and miserly with fuel It quickly pays for itself with what it saves you on fuel, repairs service calls Call Agway today and modernize with a new oil burner package down the cost of winter.
