& Cooks A Steak In : Forty: : Seconds Flat e- - Before "too long the up-to-date housewife will be able to wait till she hears her husband opening the front door before starting to cook dinner, and still have the meal ready to put en the table by the time he's taken off his overcoat and rubbers. Exaggerated? Well, perhaps just a trifle--but not as much as you might think. Fora newly discover- ed method of cooking, not with heat but by means of radar, promises to revolutionize the whole scheme of - culinary art. In a recent isstie of The New Yorker magazine an anonymous writer gives an _inter- esting account of this marvellous invention. \ + LJ » . The most astonishing, aspect of this spooky invention is the speed with which it operates. A large pan of gingerbread can be baked in twenty-nine seconds, and water comes to a boil faster than you can say "instantaneously." At the nlo- ment, the Raytheon Company is still experimenting with Radaranges and, instead of selling them, rents them to hotels and - restaurants, at a charge of five dollars a day. The only local hotel equipped with Radaranges is the Roosevelt, which has two and is delighted with them. We stopped in there the other day to try a few samplés of radar cook- ing, and we're delighted, too. It will be some time before the depart- ment stores have Radaranges. - The present model would have to sell for twenty-five hundred doflars. a unit, ? We were escorted into the Roose- velt kitchens by Louis Del-Coma, assistant the general manager of the hotel, who informed us that the bulk of the hotel's cooking is still being done on regular, old-fashioned stoves byt that the Radaranges have been very useful in emergencies. Faced with an unexpected run on baked potatoes, Del-Coma said, the chefs turn calmly to the Radaranges © which _can bake a potato in four and a half minutes, as against 'an hour in a conventional oven. The _ Roosevelt Radaranges stand about five feet 'high, are about two feet wide and two feet deep, and have a control panel of comforting simpli- city: an on-off button, a high-low switch, and a five-minute timer, calibrated in seconds. The oven is- of stainless steel and has a steel door perforated like acoustic tile, so that a cook can see in. The ranges produce energy the way. a . radar transmitter does, but it is dir- ected -into- the ovens; for cooking - purpgges, instead of out into space, for detection purposes. The heart of the device is the magnetron, a tube of "very high frequency and very high cost, which sends out microwaves at 2,450 megacycles, spang in the middle of the band the Federal Communications Commi- - sion has assigned for cookery, dia- thermy, and other industrial trans- missions. - Most foods are affected by that particular frequency. They are, in fact, practically given a ner- vous breakdown by' it, and the heat that. cooks them is a product of friction among their agitated 'mole- cules. One odd thing is that while water - boils so promptly, paper, which has molecules that react to a different frequency, is unaffected, and if you put a paper cup full of water in a Radarange the water will all boil away, but the cup will re- main undamaged. Metal réflects the microwaves, so the oven itself never war d china conduet the waves, so plates eroles stay cool while the fodd on or, them gets piping hot. ' ? Mr. Del-Coma turned on one of the Radaranges, set the timer for four and a half minutes, and put a large, unpeeled potato: in the oven, on a plate. The potato immediately began to sizzle and jiggle. "You see how fast it is," Del-Coma said. "As a matter of fact, it's too fast for some foods. Eggs, for instance. One of the boys put a whole-egg in . a Radarange one day andi t blew up with a terrific pop." When the oven shut itself off, Del-Coma removed the plate and potato, The plate was cool, but the potato was too hot to touch. Del-Coma slit it open, tuck- ed in a pat of butter, and handed us a fork. When it had cooled enough to eat, we sampled it and found it to be done to a turn and fluffy--the best baked potato we've had since our Second-Class Boy Scout days. Then Del-Coma cook- ed us a hamburger patty, in two minutes. - It couldn't have been . better. "The Radarange cooks food evenly all the way through," fe said, "and this means that there isn't the browning outside that people are: accustomed to. If we're cooking a mackerel fillet, We _get around that problem by using a special season- ing, which has a coloring effect. Steaks -Jcook perfectly in these ranges but end up looking gray. Our solution to shat is to sear them for a few seconds in a broiler, then put them in the Radarange. We eook a ten-ounce steak forty see- onds. if you order it rare, forty-five seconds for medium, and fifty sec- onds for well-done, Up in Massa- chusetts, there's a quick-order place with a Radarange, and when they get a takeout order for a hamburger, | they pyt the raw meat in a bun, smear on mustard, wrap the sand- wich in wax paper, put it in a paper bag, and toss the whole works In the oven. They say It tastes fine." a tpl 4 et] BARBARA STANWYCK 'Sorry, Wrong Number' KF Oscar Award Nominees "ee JANE WYMA 'Johnny Belinda' LA MONTGOMERY CLIFT 'The Search' Ss 7) When the spring calves make their appearance we never seem to get through without one cow or heifer requiring veterinary atten- tion. So it was this year, One b one three calves arrived and alll was well in the maternity barn. But : Game the fourth and it was a differ- ant story. This time the mother-- Lk&heifer with her first ealf--hid not act according to Hoyle. To help *her in the wa: she should go meant | that my kitchen stove was kept so busy I had had hardly room to boil a kettle for tea. Warm water to drink; boiling water for bran mash- es, and heat to/thin the molasses. Oh, that molasses . ., of all the goo-ey messes! No wonder we hear the expression so often--"slow as molasses in January!" It isn't so bad if one has a chance to warm the stuff but one time Bob came up for a dose and 1 had to get it from a new supply--which was in a big pail for convenience. The prescription: was two cups mixed with warm water in a bottle and given as a drench. So easy to write . . . so difficult to do. Dip the cup into the pail, then drop the 'molasses from the cup into a big pitcher and mix. with water. But the molasses is to thic to drop so «you lodge the cup on top of the pitcher while you get a spoon. You sc the stuff out of the cup, then | voi lock around wondering what to do with "the spoon. You finally put it down on the kitchen table, and then you see the mess it makes and you wish you hadn't, And thelr is still another 1p of molasses to wrestle with. While you are in the middle of things and ready to do battle with anyone, the One Man in Your Life comes along and says --"Haven't you got that dose ready yet? Better leave it to me the next time if you are going to make a mess like that!" ; Gladly the next dose is left to him--but by that time the molasses is nicely warmed through and the going is easy. But who am I to deny a mere man the éatisfaction of thinking he is able to do a better job than such as I? Anyway 1 was still busy wiping up blobs of molas- ses that must surely have dripped into places where I had never been. It was around 9 am, that day when the "vet" was here to the cow --then at noon we sent for him again, this time for a horse with a bad attack of colic. More bran mashes!

Partner even raked over the coals in the furnace in case I had shovelled them in with the coal. And wherever we went Honey scampered along with us and thought it all a great joke to have both of us down cellar with her. -- Well,- I looked for--those glasses off and on until midnight--why wouldn't I?--without them I can't read a word!

But I've often thought that some- thing similar .might apply to cook- ing. For real cookery isn't a matter of buying the finest and most ex- pensive materials and then going ahead according to the book, It's doing what most of us are forced to do--try and serve meals that are both tempting and nourishing, and still keep within the bounds of a strictly ron-stretchable budget. . * . Although the front quarter of beef isn't nearly as much sought after--or as dear--as the "choicer" cuts, there's some mighty fine eat- ing on it, nevertheless. And if you can serve a chuck steak that's just as delicious--in its own way--as a sirloin, you're not gnly getting your money's worth, bat proving your- self a real cook and housekeeper as well, So today I thought I might pass along two or three recipes which might be a help ot some of you; and I sincerely hope that they will be.

Combine catsup, Worcestershire sauce and water, and pour over steak, Cover tightly so that meat will steam tender--a good idea is to use alum- inum foil to make a snug-fitting lid. Bake in a moderate oven (3501) for 2 hours, or until tender. Serves 6. The name of this next dish may sound rather strange to you, but the dish itself s both different and tasty.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Fs LESSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren JESUS' MINISTRY TO HUMAN NEEDS Mark 5:22-23, 35-42; Luke 7:20-23. GOLDEN TEXT: I'am come that they miglit have life, and that they might have it more abundantly, --John 10:10 How can you account for the fact that thg story of Jesus is still "news"? After nineteen centuries it is written and told in more lang- uages than ever before. The poet- ess wrote: "I love to tell the story! "I'is pleasant to repeat, What seems each time I tell it, More wonderfully sweet." This lesson illustrates one of the fascinating features of the story. Jesus was the greatest miracle worker that ever lived. But it is not so much the miracle as the spirit which prompts the miracle that attracts. There was no selfishness in Him. He was deeply moved by human need and ministered to it, The raising of the daughter of Jairus is a typical incident. The father's earnest entreaty brought him to the home, The unbelieving .scorners were put from the room. Taking the hand of the twelve-year- ~old "he said in effect, "Little lassie, 1 say unto thec, get up." She for whom the mourners had begun their wailing arose and walked. . Jesus was always moved with compassion at the sight of suffering. He put forth his hand and touched the unclean leper and healed him. He gave sight to the blind and hear- ing to the deaf. Moreover he taught the poor and forgave their sins. John the Baptist on hearing of these mighty works was satisfied that Jesus was the Messias. They ought to convince any thoughtful person that Jesus was Divine. John an eye-witness to these events wrote, "And many other signs did Jesus in the presence of his disci- ples, which are not written in this book: but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that _ belleving ye might have life through His name." SOME MEMORY An astonishing - gentleman is Leslie Welch, known in England as The Memory Man, who has an unbelieveable "ability to remember facts and figures of every kind. Facts and figures are a habit with Welch. He has a photdgraphic mem- ory and seems unable to forget any facts or information. He began his entertaining when he was in the Army and found that his fellow soldiers enjoyed asking him qu ;- tigns about sport; they used to sit round hurricane lamp. in the desert and ask questions for hours, and his speed and certainty in reply led him to take part in.many troop shows. He revealed that his brain works best at high speed, and in the stage show in which he now appears he usually answers some twenty-five questions in ten minutes. He man- ages to keep his information up to date by reading voraciously, not only newspapers, but sporting diaries and calendars, historical and geographical books and so on. He always remembers what he reads, so much so that when he was on a station platform and a fellow pas- senger asked him if the Arsenal - a very famous English football team - had won that afternoon he gave the result. He was then asked if another well known team had won. Welch, who had read the evening paper half an hour earlier, casually gave the qucstioner the results of every football. match played that day.
