COOKERY GADGETS
DEFEATING THE SIRENS. New cookery gadgets now on sale in London shops reflects the housewife's problem of how to provide a hot meal if the family is in the shelter for the evening. Three of these gadgets are described by a writer in the Daily Mail. A glass warmer, with a nightlight burning inside throws a sufficient heat through the top to keep a jug of cocoa, coffee or soup hot. If the potful is boiling, when taken down the shelter, it will keep hot for a good long time. Hot water plates are having a good sale, since it’s one of the minor discomforts of war that the sirens may prevent you finishing a hot meal in comfort. A close-fitting lid and boiling water in the underneath part ensure that your dinner stays piping hot when you carry it to the shelter.
With a little cooker, costing only 2s, you can fry eggs and bacon or boil a kettle without gas or electricity. Perhaps we will see these gadgets in New Zealand before long, for they would be as useful in peace time as in war.
