Orexyort, rMdorr.fre&rnojrjr Ifc 1351 Well Coolgng V Economical V ln Food, Heat Idle on the back of many - . kitchen range stands one of its most economical, useful and con venient parts the deep well cooker. Household equipment spe cialists of the U. S. department ' of agriculture suggest that the many families who need to save on the cost of food and also the -electricity or gas would be wise to make more use of that covered kettle fitted into an insulated welL As a start, they suggest reading about it in the booklet of directions that comes with the range. This thrift cooker is ideal for such items as the less tender cuts of - t. dry beans or whole-grain cereals, for example, which need long, slow cooking. In the insu- lated well these foods can cook to delicious tenderness with the minimum of fuel and without the need of frequent - watching to prevent scorching. The well can save fuel by cook ing a whole meal together, or by E inch-hitting for the oven when a king a few potatoes or heating up a few rolls. It is ideal for sim mering soups or for steaming puddings, brown bread or cus tard. The depth of the kettle makes it convenient for steaming bulky vegetables like corn on the cob or kale or other leafy greens. Other uses are popping corn, sterilizing baby bottles or can ning jar, overnight slow cook ing of breakfast cereals. As long as a steady -stream of steam arises from the kettle, sev eral different foods may cook in It together, without mixing flav ors. Thus a pot roast or stew with vegetables may simmer in the lower half of the kettle while above on a trivet or rack a pudding may steam-cook. To keep flavors separate, don't turn off the heat until the food is re moved from the kettle. If the cooker must be opened during cooking, turn up the heat for full team. When heating rolls or baking po'atoes in the cooker, set them on a rack on tne Dottom and away from the sides of the kettle to prevent scorching.

Place in an oven preheated to 400 degrees. for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter and return to oven t for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

After being wrapped with bacon they may be heated either in the broiler of oven. Sauerkraut Takes Spotlight During Week This Month Back in the Middle Ages praises were sung of frankfurters. Like wise, sauerkraut is no youngster in the family of foods. Today this long popular combination was given special recognition Febr uary 1 through 10 was National Frank and Kraut Week. To your list of ways of serving these two foods add sauerkraut stuffed franks. They are quite easy to prepare. Simply slit the frankfurter lengthwise (but not completely through.) Stuff each cavity with kraut, then generously sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese. Wrap the stuffed frank furters with a strip of bacon and fasten with wooden picks. ITeat Slowly When heating the franks use either your broiler or oven. If broiling, place them on the broil er rack so that they are about 2 inches from the heat. This allows for a moderate cooking tempera ture. If heating in the oven pro ceed the same as when cooking a roast. Arrange the stuffed franks on a rack in an open roasting pan Set the oven regulator at 300 degrees. Leave them in the oven until the cheese is bubbling and the franks heated through. Supply frankfurter buns for eating the stuffed franks. In ad dition youll want a fresh vege table, perhaps green onions or a relish plate. Cream potatoes are an ideal hot vegetable. For des sert youll want to turn to an other favorite food of the month, cherries. This can be a Cherry Upside Down Cake. More Stuffings There are numerous other oc casions on which you'll want to serve stuffed franks. Along with kraut and cheese, franks may be stuffed with pickle relish, thinly sliced dill pickle, or stuffed olives. Grated pineapple is still a different type filling. Or add minced onion and finely chopped celery to bread stuffing, then wrap with bacon and broil or bake. ran rTl & FflawaDi? Hit 7ouzr GtrocQir'b Distributed by Mado-Land Creamery Co.

Dual Purpose Bed , in Poem - Dual purpose bedding was ouite a luxury in the 18th century.
