COOKING SUCCESS
DEPENDS ON OVEN
Good Stove Is Investment That
Pays Interest.
By EDITH M. BARBER
Several letters have come to the edi
tor of this column recently asking for
more information about the use of the
oven in baking. I am answering a
number of these together today by an
article devoted to the whole question,
First of all, the first aid to the cook
is a good stove, which is an invest.
ment that brings interest in the form
of success, If this good stove has an
oven regulator it will make the bak
ing question much easier, as all stand.
ard recipes now have baking tempera:
tures attached. If your stove has no
regulator, an oven thermometer is the
next best bet. In fact, it Is a good
piece of household equipment to have
on hand in any case, as it enables you
to check your oven regulator which
may be jarred out of accuracy some-
times, If you do not have either of
these household aids you may estimate
your temperature successfully with
experience,
A slow oven according to my esti
mate is from 175 to 350 degrees F,
A moderate oven Is from 3750 to 400
degrees PF,
A hot oven is from 400 degrees F, up.
For starting the cooking of meats,
for starting the baking of potatoes, for
fish, biscuits, for and for
pastry a hot oven is in order.

says the old saying. In other
words the best way to retain the re-
spect of people is to keep them at a
safe distance,
Carried to its logical #onclusion this
would be a hard philosophy. For it
would open to us the alternatives only
of being respected but absolutely alone
~-0f enjoying compsaionship without
respect
Naturally we all hope for the possi.
bility of so conducting ourselves as
to be able to enjoy intimacy and yet
retain the respect of our friends!
The saying, so frequently used In
current speech, that “familiarity breeds
contempt,” we owe to the Spanish au-
thor, Cervantes, In whose world fa
mous “Don Quixote” we find, In the
sixth chapter of the third book of part
one, “I find my familiarity with thee
has bred contempt.”
