Kitchen Aids

Mixing and Beating Electrically

CONNING over recipes, as we all do, we continually find the- instructions to "beat: until thick" or "beat until smooth," or "beat the mixture all the time," and then it is that we so often decide that that particular recipe is not for us, for we have not the time it demands. This is just where the kitchen aid steps in, with its infinite usefulness. pos That there is a demand for electric food-preparing devices, is readily apparent from the number of new mixers that are now being placed on the market. Interviewing the lady of an electric ca 2 kitchen, a few days ago, at a bay a few miles from the capital city, whose wares made one’s mouth water merely to look at them, she said that not one half of what she accomplished could be done without the aid of the electric mixer. Even in homes where the income is small one of the small mixers will pay its way, enabling the owner, as it does, to mix fruit drinks for children, whip cream and egg whites for cakes, waffles and desserts, to mix salad dressings to a nicety, and beat small or large quantities of batter. For the business woman, whose time is necessarily limited, but who still likes to run her own small "apartment," one of the mixers and extractors should prove to be a boon, The preparation of food, for instance, when, say, the juice of four oranges is required, does give one rather furiously to think, but with one of the little gadgets, not very much bigger than the old mincer of other days, not only the means of taking the juice of those oranges, quickly and efficiently, is pro--Vided, but also the means of slicing vegetables, creaming of butter and sugar for cakes, the mixing of bread and biscuits, and for the other hundred and one ways of saving time and labour. There are about sixteen electric mixers to be obtained, all essentially alike, mounted on the table on the lines of the old-fashioned mincer, but doing how much more, when just electrically connected with a heating point, which supplies all the source of power. Think of your enke well and truly mixing itself, while you enjoy your morning tea! Some of these mixers are of rather large size for domestic use, but they are capable of handling all the operations of food preparation, as, for instance, chopping of vegetables, grinding of meat, chipping ice, shredding foods, and fruit juice extracting, while the attachments include an ice cream freezer, an oi] dropper for salads, a sieve, which. working electrically. saves all hand-pressure. and many other unique kitchen tools.
