the Irish were the first to
recognize their food value.
-Potato growing in the
U.S. dates back to 1719 when
stock brought from Ireland
was grown successfully in
Londonberry, N.H.
-Did you know that -the
potato and tomato belong to
the same family?
-In 1846 nearly 100 kinds of
potatoes were exhibited at
the Mass. Horticulture
Society - and in 1876 at the
Centennial Exhibition, 500
named varieties were
shown.
-Potatoes in rainbow
colors? Yes, in the early
days of potato development
in Europe they came in
many colors some even two
toned. Skin color seems to
have no connection with the
cooking quality of the potato.
-White potatoes are the
largest and most valuable
vegetable crop in the world.
World production of potatoes
exceeds and other table food

hub of a busy kitchen.

spatters and spills makes
cleaning faster and easier. It
also helps to prevent hard-to-
At 1:00 P.M
remove soil buildup and to
ensure safe cooking.
The manufacturer’s in
struction manual is a key
reference for specifics on use
and care. The first general
guide: Turn heating units
OFF; LET A RANGE COOL
before performing any
cleaning operation. Then,
wipe up spills and spatters
with a sudsy sponge. Rinse
and polish dry. If control
knobs are removable, take
them off to wash. Or, clean
frequently, if stationary.

Cotton swabs dipped in sudsy
water aid in coaxing soil
from hard-to-reach areas.

range - metal or porcelain -
can be cleaned with
detergent or soap suds;
rinsed and wiped dry.

The drip bowls or reflector
pans underneath the units
are designed to catch
spillovers and reflect heat
into the cooking utensils for
faster cooking. Clean
reflector pans work more
efficiently and last longer.
Pans and trim rings are
removable for washing in
suds. Dishwasher care is
also suggested for some
pans; check manufacturer’s
information.
Remove grates and burner
bowls cn a gas range; wash.
A' plastic scrubber, stiff
brush or soap pad is useful
on stubborn spots. Remove
burner assemblies for'
periodic cleaning. Open
clogged burner heads with a
fine wire, hairpin or paper
clip. Do not use toothpicks
which may break off. Wash,
rinse and place bruners in
250 degrees F. over for about
15 minutes to dry.
Wash the area beneath and
around drip pan holes. Some
ranges are designed with a
lift top for easier cleaning of
the area, underneath. Bur
ned-on food and grease may
require extra treatment with
suds and a plastic scrubber,
or steel wool. Rinse, dry and
replace all parts.
A glass-ceramic smooth
top range requires special
care. THE SURFACE
SHOULD BE COOL before
cleaning. It is suggested that
the top be wiped with a damp
sponge before and after
cooking. Special cleaner
conditioners for smooth-top
units aid in removing soils;
follow package directions.
Appliance manufacturers
offer suggestions for
removing stubborn soils.
Since these vary,, check
recommended procedures in
the owner’s manual.
