10 The Statesman. Salem, Oregon. Sunday, March 28. 1SS0 Gadget Collections Demonstrate Many New Ways to Peel a Potato By Sue Gardner Gadget fanciers are in a class by themselves. Many of them collect household gadgets like other people.

There's something about a new way of peeling a potato or a better egg beater that fascinates me. ! I've just been looking over some of . the new gadget collec tions soon to be in your local stores, and it seems that for ev ery household task there is a fancier, if not, faster way of do ing it in the new products. ; -Take this little matter of pre paring a potato for cooking. I thought when I found that 1 little razor - edged slit device for peel ing -potatoes with a minimum of waste; I had the last word in peelerf. But suppose I wanted to make French fried potatoes? Do I stand and cut up those po tatoes by hand? . Fotate Cnters Of course not, because there is a special invention for cutting potatoes into French fried size. This little device has two decks; the top a cross, bar cutting1 sec tion, and the lower deck a wood en board.. You put a peeled pota to between the two decks,: pull down the handles -and presto! just the right- size strips for French trie. Now, if you want shoestring potatoes, you use an other cutter and- scrape it over the potato. For waffle style, there Is a third cutter. - Talking- of catting tools, there are many more ways than one. to slice a piece of -cheese. ' The eld style sllcers have a fine wire en a frame,: t bat the newer" ones eat and serve In one. A slit la the flat serving part allows a slice of cheese to come through and K is ready for serving. ." I never thought there were so many tearless onion, choppers un til I looked into the matter. When J learned how to cook, I was told to peel an onion under water to save that eye stinging. Now, you can put an onion into a jar or cup, cover it with a top that has a center plunger ending in sharp metal teeth, and by pulling up and down a knob, you have minced . onions. There are doz ens of new shredders and grind ers as well as special slaw cut ters, my preference being for the rotary types that might mean an extra part to wash, but keep sharp edges 'far. from your fing ers. The grapefruit cotters and eorers almost make a. collec tion by themselves.

Bakinr Aids Home bakers" have inspired many inventions. From one handed rolling pins to egg crack ers, the gadgets are many. The children will love the new baking tins in the shape of Eas ter bunnies. Wedding bell tins . make lovely center piece cakes vfor showers. Cookie shapes are 'more unusual than ever and you can get them for many party themes. A most practical cookie jar is a tall cannister with" a secret formula in a cover Com partment that keeps cookies fresh for many weeks. My favorite meat haster looks like a syringe with a heat resistant glass tube that allows yoa to draw op the . gravy and spray It over the meat or fowl while is Is roast ing. ' One of the most highly spe cialized gadgets I have seen is a re-slicer that cuts one slice of bread in two for melba toast. There are new toast racks, too. in the collections. Space Savers sprtfe . For small kitchens, the s savins devices are very helpful. Many of my friends are doing over their kitchen closets and i covering the doors with, holders of -all kinds. The cleanser racks keep all your soap powders and cleansing fluide handy. Much more room is available when you put all your pot covers on a - door holder. Problems of shelv ing space for dishes can be solved with the use of 'cup and plate racks. Instead of stacking dif ferent size plates on top of each other, you put them, rim up, in a rack and can select any size easily. Cup hangers come wheel shaped with six hooks to a wheel for attaching to the top of your shelf. Bathroom fixtures become more elaborate each season. There are a half doses stock - ins hangers that proteet year nylons from snags. Bar and loop towel racks are available in all colors and materials. For a handy, yet neai spot to put yonr bowl brash, there is a container that comes in all colors to match your bath room and can be used as aa attractive touch beside your hamper. Moving on to the bar, you will find the new corkscrews and bottle openers gayer and more intricate than ever. The latest models are variations on the idea of .a corkscrew within a frame that fits over the top of the bottle. For the champagne taste - there Is a wooden cork screw highly polished and self pulling, t that is certainly a con versation piece. Bottle openers come in wall types and fancy handle varieties to match any kitchen or bar collection. Among the gift items for bars, there, is a barber shop quartet of figures atop corks, a matching pretzeH holders, and pourers that mea .sure one jigger at a time. , (Copyright, 1950 General features Corporation) fir I Iff Smitltr, IJflfer:i.
