Easier Baking Days
I? Mrs, Christine Frederick,
the Distinguished Authority on Household EfEciency. ;.
THAVB watched myself "and twelve Inches square, twelve choco
w." t wrk and I know ' - 1U PV n? ,M ' tami
that it Is not the
reparation of the cake
, aciuat -
or s
-which takes the time, but the
gathering together of the material '
before we begin, and the clearing
tip after finishing.. Whenever, we
cook several , dishes at once- we
save a great deal of time. This, Is
because we can use the same bqwl
and egg beater without separate
washings. Also, and equally Im
portant, once a person starts any
' piece of work she -becomes mora
skilled and works faster the longer
' she stays at It. ' f-- .
These are rny steps to make ess
work of baking: ... L Decide on all
the recipes In advance and the
order in which they are to be pre
pared. 2. Have the oven In first
class baking condition. 3. Gather
together all materials and utensils
needed for all the work. This last
Is most important because it is the
stopping to hunt for a pan or the
running to get another half cup of
something' which delays the work. r
Jn my baking plans I reserve one "
bowl exclusively for beating the
yolks of eggs, and a small platter
especially for whipping the whites,
and I use them straight through all
the recipes without washing.? The
measuring cups, one- for dry in
gredients and one for liquids, serve
the same end. By keeping a small
pan of water on the table and hav
ing a short towel pinned to ray.
(belt I can wipe off any utensil so'
that any useless tracking across to
the sink Is entirely avoided.
My one indispensable iool is a
email, pliable spatula, like a palette
knife, which I use to-Bcrape bowls,
pans, etc. A bowl scraped with, a
spatula is most easily washed. A
high stool before my table enables'
me to work restfully.
. Most housekeepers now , follow
my plan of writing recipes on sep
arate 6x4-inch cards. When in use
each card is placed on a hook' la
the wall or on a shelf above the
table, at the eye level. Even if a
cook book is used it should be
placed on a rack above the table,
where it cannot be soiled during
the cooking. ; .-. '. . : V
The results of one morning's, bak
ing In my . kitchen were: One
lemon-meringue pie, one" raisin pie,
two pastry shells, on layer cake

were baking I prepared both the
raisin and the lemon fillings and
kept watch oyer them as they sim

As thB peanut bread had to rise for
twenty minutes It was made next,
before the cake, po that when both
kinds-' of cake were baked the oven
would be just ready for the bread.
The icing and the filling of the two
pie shells came last, Just before the

Not two hours and a half! Nor
was the work done &t a very hur
ried tempo, but taken in a moderate
way and all done on a four-burner
oi stove wjth a top portable oyen.
The Important point was that I
baked the whole time and did not
spend oho moment tracking across
the room to search for anything.
In my . fwn kitchen arrangement
the preparing table and the stove
are adjacent," so that in the whole
two hours, once I began, I never
stepped away from, a surface about
five feet wide r 1 ' .
There is aft old ' cooking . adage,
"wash up as you ." But this no
