Wattwise Hom» Making Tips Wteat’a Caeklng la the KMeisea-A few years ago smooth-surfaced cook tops were dramatic additions to any home, but today, althou gh farm from common place they are much more visible. These new cooking applian ces look like a smooth sheet of white, glass ceramic ma­ terial. and are uncluttered by beating elements. The elec­ tric elements are hidden beneath the smooth flat top. The cooking surface is defined by a sunburst or similar design that brightens somewhat when heated. The unit will take a little bit longer to heat and cool than conventional electric surface units. The rest of the cooktop doesn't heat, leaving it cool to the touch. For protection, most smooth cook tops have an indicator light on the control panel Io let you know when a unit is turned on—a few have warning lights that stay on until the surface is cool enough to touch. Smooth cook tops arc easy to clean, simply wash the surface with a sudsy cloth and wipe it dry. If areas over the heating units become discolored from food spills or from pots with unscrubbed bottoms, use a mild cleanser or a cleaner designed spe­ cially for these appliances. To have good results when cooking on a smooth cook & lop. use pots and pans that are smooth, flat bottomed and of good quality so that they don’t bow out of shape when they are hot. On a thermostatically controlled unit it is especially important to have flat bottomed pans so that the thermostat can work accurately. There arc many brands of smooth cooktops, some with digital numbers you simply touch to control with no knobs, dials, or levers. Other have heating panels that can be lifted out and replaced by other accessories, such as a grill, rotisserie, or french fryer. Perhaps you are considering acquiring a new range, be sure to check the wide variety of sizes, types and features available. ( old Water 1-aundr» Conserving energy in the home is high on the priority list for homemakers. One obvious way is to use less hot waler. The question is. docs cold waler washing really gel clothes clean? Warm or hot waler is still the best for removing Heavy or Greasy soil. Bui for Lightly or Moderate soiled items cold water can be substituted for hot with good results Heavily solid clothes that have been presoaked can also be washed in cold water. For best results in cold water washing select a detergent that gives direc­ tions for cold water use. Granular detergents often dissolve more slowly in cold water, so some labels re­ commend adding detergent and agitating for a few minutes BEFORE adding clothes. Be sure to MEA­ SURE your detergent, be­ cause it is important to use enough in cold water. Pretreatment of spots and stains is especially important in cold water washing. Use a premixed commercial solu­ tion of granular detergent paste. Presoaking with an enzyme presoak works just as well in cold water (except greasy soil) but allow extra time for it to do its work. Always remember to sort clothes according to: color, amount of soil and tendency to lint. Don't over load your washer—clothes must circu­ late freely in order to get clean. Water conditioners and fabric conditioners work very well in cold water, but as always remember to dilute fabric softener with water before adding to washer to prevent spotting. Cold water works BETTER than warm or hot water on woolens, bright or dark colored fabrics and on protein stains (blood, milk. eggs, etc). You can use cold water for all rinsing, too. regardless of wash-water temperature. It works well and can save from one-fourth to one-third of the hot water per load. If vour wash takes on a dingy cast after a number of cold water washings, this means soil has not been completely removed. Wash them, from time to time in the hottest water safe for the fabric.
