There is so much to he said in favour ; ! of the appearance of aluminium, quite ; | apart from other intrinsic qualities, that it well merits proper care on the : housewife’s part. j One of the primary points to bear; | in mind is that aluminium is a very rapid conductor of heat, and therefore retains heat much longer than most j metals. So you can save a great deal j of gas-consumption when boiling j liquids, by lowering the pressure as j soon as the contents of the pan reach boiling point. Experience will show how low a pressure of gas is sufficient ! to keep them boiling. When water is first boiled in an aluminium pan, it may be found that a dark tinge appears on the inside of the vessel up to the water mark. This is a very thin film of aluminium salt formed by the action of the water on the surface of the metal. But as this film will not flavour the contents, and is quite harmless, its removal is not recommended, for its presence will prolong the life of the vessel. When cleaning aluminium ware, use pure water only, as a general rule. It is the best plan to scour with hot water and rinse with cold. Even the dirtiest pan will prove amenable to, this treatment and ‘‘come up” quite bright without any further polishing. A little soap may be used with hot water to clean the outside of very greasy pans; but the less soap used the better. Never, ou any account, should soda j be used, though the amount of soda l used in cooking green vegetables is so small as not to signify. Very dark vegetable stains may be removed from an aluminium saucepan by filling the pan with water, placing a piece of lemon in it, and bringing to the boil. A stick of rhubarb is equally efficacious. Given careful treatment, aluminium ware will last literally a lifetime, so that it well repays any housewife to replace wornout enamel pots and pans with aluminum substitutes. : Pictures hanging on walls inclined to be damp may be considerably protected by tacking a disc of cork at! least a quarter of an inch thick, cut : from an ordinary bottle cork, to each i of the lower comers of the frame. The , pictures are thus held a little way ‘ from the wall, and the air is able to circulate freely behind them.
