—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 19,1977 54 Watch Mrs. Nancy Wenrich By JOANNE SPAHR LEBANON - What’s a kilowattcher? A kilowatt cher is a homemaker who carefully watches how electricity is used. And, during these slowly shor tening, quickly cooling days, kilowattching will become ever more important. So, for those homemakers who are conscious of energy saving as well as fuel bill saving, Mrs. Nancy Wenrich, director of home economics at Metropolitan Edison, Lebanon, offered a few tips and recipes at a recent homemakers meeting. First of all, she said, avoid opening the doors of the refrigerator and freezer very often. Instead, know what you want before opening the refrigerator or freezer door. Also, defrost the freezer regularly and never allow more than Vt inch of frost to build up. Generally, the rule of thumb when freezing is to freeze no more than two or three pounds of food to each cubic foot of capacity. Some general household hints include operating a self-cleaning oven after 8 p.m. whenever possible, since the greatest energy load is taken between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily. Set most water heaters to 140 degrees F. Under most conditions, this is hot enough for household hot water needs. When it comes to laundry, Metropolitan Edison suggests waiting until 8 p.m. to do the wash that requires hot water, and if the laundry must be done during the daytime power rush, it sould be washed in warm or cool water. Always rinse with cold water. Cooking can also be energy saving. For those cooks who want to try some new recipes and would like them to require small amounts of energy, Mrs. Wenrich suggests the following: Need...

TOMATO BOUILLON 1 cup tomato juice 1 cup water 1 bouillon cube - beef Combine ingredients and heat to boiling point. Serves 2 or 3. A simple recipe to increase. According to Mrs. Wenrich, the above two recipes are good “to warm up cold bodies after an ice hockey game or caroling.” The “Sesame Crisps” are really just pastry with sesame seeds on top, and these crisps go well with the tomato bouillon. To make the tomato bouillon party-sized, Mrs. Wenrich suggested a 30-cup percolator. The next three recipes Mrs. Wenrich offered are three seasoned products that have no cooking involved, so they are “definitely energy savers.” ONE, TWO, THREE DIP!
