ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT

Sir,—l will uphold your correspondent regarding improving things to be used in the kitchen. For many months I cooked for seven persons on a twoplate electric stove. It had no warming oven or rack. Let the average man try this for one week! When I wish to see if the pot is boiling I use a torch, as the stove is in a recess. Women as a rule do not stand together sufficiently in these matters. The average man demands the best working equipment to-day.—Yours, etc., A HOUSEWIFE. Sir,—l wish to support Eelen Priestley. I have tried to buy for our new home, nearing completion, an electric range, with warming tray. I desire to have one of local manufacture, but have been told by the many firms who stock them that the Government prohibited the making of them several weeks ago. How stupid it seems, when the space is there and all that is required is. a drawer to be put in, for warming plates or to keep food warm. We are asked to conserve electric power and that certainly would help. If the plates are put in the warming compartment when the food is being cooked, they are hot enough to use by the time the food is ready. I feel sure hundreds of housewives will share my view.—Yours, etc., DISAPPOINTED HOUSEWIFE. September 25, 1947.
