What's more, most of them believe that they are handier in the kitchen than their wives. These are among the findings of a Borden company survey to which 700 middleclass married males from all parts of the coun try responded. The answers show that men are spending more time in the kitchen and enjoying It. too. An even 80 per cent of the men shop for groceries, and 71 per cent said they cook at one time or other. When do they don the chef's cap? Out-of-doors cooking topped the list with 64 per cent, while more than half took to the skillet when the wife was away or ill, and for Sunday breakfast preparation. And more than a third like to cook "for a surprise" or when the family has guests.

And 60 per cent of the male cooks like to impro vise, by adding their own in gredient'. Two-thirds of the male cooks use prepared pack aged foods, such as frozen and canned goods and pancake mix es. And when it comes to shop ping, 84 per cent buy plain gro ceries, although more than half buy fancy groceries at various times, too. Another interesting fact, ac cording to Borden home eco nomists, is that most of the men are not overly conscious of budgeting. Only 12 per cent fol low a strict budget, while 58 per cent are on a "hit-and-miss" budget. The rest do not set up a food budget at all. The married male cooks. 64 per cent of them, said they want to know more about cooking. This is proved by the fact that 71 per cent of them read articles on cooking and 86 per cent like to read about foods in general. And to that question, "Do you believe men can cook as well as women," 73 per cent said "yes" and 26 per cent believed they could cook even better than women. Still, the wives remain queens in their own kitchens 96 per cent of the 700 married men like the food prepared by their spouses, despite all quips to the contrary- The Borden survey has another encouraging sign for the wives: 65 per cent of the men report that they don't mind giving a hand in preparing meals, and 62 per cent even like to suggest recipes cull ed from food columns.
