Strictly for men
By ELEANOR GODLEY browning--searing the outer

‘surface of meats,
Here’s a little cookery a _

dictionary to cut out and
hang up somewhere..- Just
like doctors, cooks ‘like to
use’ fancy words to disguise
their shortcomings. You can —
amake all kinds of- mileage on
these: ~

al dente—it signifies “just
tender”; asin pasta oy
au " gratin--with cheese on *
top, possibly broiled too
baste-spoon. hot ‘liquid over «
to assist in gentle cooking |
and soak in flavoyrs'

beat--mix air into food with
spoon, whisk or beater
blanche-remove skins of
‘fruit, nuts and vegetables by
covering them briefly with
boiling, then icy, water
blend—-mix ingredients well
but not to fluff

braise—brown in hot fat,
then cook with liquid slowly

More than 25 models to choose trom’
including the newest from Panasonic, ~
Tashiba and Litton/Moffat ... all priced
to’meet or beat any other “advertised
price on the Lower Mainiand.

Before you buy, do yourself and
-your budget a favour...

Popcorn
power

The power behind a piece
of popcorn is a burst of
steam. Each kernel of un-
popped popcorn is a seed
which, if it were planted,
might grow into a new stalk
of corn. And within its soft,

tor-

starchy interior is trapped

moisture that would help it
to sprout.

Heating the kernel causes
the moisture inside to turn to
steam. This exerts pressure
against both the hard starchy
middle and the kernel’s
outer hull. When the steam
pressure reaches a critical
level, the kernel simply
blows up.

The explosion bursts the
starch, shatters the hull and
turns the ex-seed inside out.
The starch becomes the
white crunchy stuff we love
to eat, and the moisture is
lost into the air.
