There are now millions of
microwave ovens in
Canadian households,
astonishing when you think
that they have only been
around in any real numbers
since 1975.

With microwave ovens there
are some important,
straightforward, operating
guidelines to remember.

When you cook with
aluminum containers, there
are three simple rules:

1. There must be more food
than metal.

2. The food must not be left
enclosed in metal, or
completely wrapped in foil.

RECIPE WINNER

3. The metal container must
not touch the sides of the
oven. 7

This last is important with
the earlier microwave ovens,
since contact could cause
arcing between the oven
wall and food container.
There is no danger, nor is
there any damage to the
oven mechanism. However,
the pinprick burn through
the coating of the oven wall
could lead to eventual
corrosion.

Microwave ovens are not
quite goof-proof yet but each
year there are improvements
and each year the new

people where they could
obtain a copy of the dic-

Caramel apples an

old fashioned treat

Caramel-coated apples are
an old-fashioned Hallowe’en
treat that still makes a lot of
sense. Certainly fun for the
‘trick or treater’, caramel
apples also offer food value,
particularly if the coating is
milk-based.

Two suggestions when
preparing the recipe below.
Choose apples which are
small. They are easier to
work with and easier to eat,
especially for pre-schoolers.
Also keep the coating thin.

4 cup butter or margarine
tsp. vanilla

small apples

wooden skewers or
popsicle sticks

0 GO m= 3

Insert wooden skewers
well into stem end of apples.

In a heavy saucepan,
combine sweetened  con-
densed milk, sugar and corn
syrup. Stir and cook over
medium heat to 230 degrees

or to soft ball stage. Remove
