Select The Right Utensils
and Save Energy
The proper selection and use of
cooking utensils can help you save
energy in your kitchen. Read the
following suggestions carefully to
learn where you may be able to
save your energy dollars.
Match pots and pans to the surface
unit. The bottom should
cover the heating element but not
extend more than one inch over the
edge. This will help minimize the
amount of heat loss to the air. If the
pot or pan is to large for the sur
face unit, it will heat unevenly and
heat will reflect down to the range
top around the unit and eventually
craze it. Similarly, a flame should
not extend beyond the pan.
To ensure minimal beat loss
from the pot or pan, it should have
a flat bottom, straight sides and a
tightly-fitting cover. Good utensils
allow for efficient heat transfer
and minimize loss of heat, thus
lower heat settings can be used. A
pressure saucepan can cut time
and energy even more.
Pots and pans should be thick
enough to resist denting and
warping.
Aluminum is frequently used for
cooking utensils. Both aluminum
and copper are good conductors of
heat and spread the heat evenly in
the utensil; stainless steel is not as
good a conductor. For improved
spreading of heat for top-of-the
range cooking, use stainless steel
pans with aluminum or copper
bottoms. Because of its thickness,
cast iron heats up slowly; it is
better for long cooking processes
than for short jobs. Glass and
ceramic glass are poor conductors
of heat for top-of-the range
cooking, but are good absorbers of
radiant (oven) heat. When baking
with these materials, the oven
setting can be lowered 25 degrees.
Slightly lower temperatures can
be selected when using teflon-lined
utensils for frying or pan-broiling
on top of the range.
Use a tea kettle instead of a pan
for heating or boiling water to
avoid heat loss through steam.
Cover saucepans whenever
possible. Food will cook faster and
a lower temperature setting can be
used. Be certain that lids fit

Clothes Important For
* Schoolchildren
Clothes can influence whether
your child has a happy, healthy
childhood. They are especially
important when your child is at
tending school. Children who feel
good about the clothes they wear
are usually more confident.
Clothes for children ages six to
twelve should be planned with this
in mind.
Feeling like they belong is im
portant for children. If your
children do not have clothes
similar to those of the other
children in school, they may feel
insecure or inferior.
In the early grades, children
start to become conscious of the
way their friends are dressing.
Older elementary school children
become more critical of their
cioihes and may even be conscious
of matching.
But more important than good
looks in clothes is comfort.
Children want their clothes to be
comfortable. The reason most
often given by young children for
not wearing a garment is poor fit.
In fact, studies show that school
age children most dislike clothes
that hinder movement.
Large garments that are bought
for the child to grow into them are
just as aggravating as those that
are too tight. They will look
awkward and hamper the child’s
movements. Oversized garments
will also look faded and worn if the
child ever does grow into them.
If your children are growing
rapidly, look for features that
adapt easily to growth such as
deep hems and cuffs, tucks in
skirts, undefined waistlines,
separates, raglan or kimono
sleeves and garments without tight
cuffs or bands. Because children
grow “up” faster than “out” these
features will allow for longer wear.
If your child does not like to wear
hand-me-downs, make them look
different by changing the style,
trim or buttons.
Whether new or hand-me-down,
garments should complement the
skin, hair and eyes of the child and
should be styled to emphasize the
child’s good features.
