eautiful The "Ins And Outs" Of Pots And Pans For the new bride, equipping the kitchen is not only time consuming, but rather costly; therefore, it should be viewed as a long term investment. Types of styles and materials for pots and pans are all a matter of personal taste, however the following tips should be kept in mind when making this decision: •Round, tightly rolled edges allow for easy cleaning. •Handles should be sturdy and fit your hand comfortably. •So that pans can't tumble over, and to take full advantage of burner surface, flat bottoms should be considered. •To eliminate noisy lids and moisture loss, be sure the lids are tight fitting. Many materials are cause for some confusion: ALUMINUM: A durable, easy-to-care-for material that is an excellent conductor of heat. AlthoQgh aluminum tends to darken from boiling water and alkaline foods, it can be removed by cooking acid foods in the pan. STAINLESS STEEL: Also a durable material which tends to resist alkaline and acid stains, and retains a high polish. Stainless steel does tend to discolor under too high a heat, and since it is not a good conductor, is often combined with other, more conductive metals. GLASS: Resists stains and you can see your food cooking, however, glass is a poor conductor and breakable. Some oven glassware cannot be used on top of the stove, so this too should be considered. COPPER: Is decorative and durable and is an excellent heat conductor. Copper does tarnish when exposed to air, therefore requiring special cleaning attention. CERAMIC: Although ceramic conducts slowly it does not absorb flavors or odors, and while it is easy to clean, it is also complementary to your kitchen decor. Some ceramic pieces can be used to cook in, as well as to freeze with. ENAMEL: Enamel coatings are generally applied to other metals. While heat conduction depends on the base metal, enamel is easy to clean and resists stains; however, it may chip or crack if not handled with a little care. NONSTICK: These finishes are used on several metals. It creates easy maintenance as well as lost fat cooking. Special utensils are required, and do require a little more care so they don't scratch. CAST IRON: Even though cast iron is heavy, brittle and can rust, this material heats evenly and retains the heat for your long, slow cooking meals. When purchasing pots and pans, keep in mind what your needs will be; do you need all the items that might come in a particular set, because you are not paying for unused items; and that you have adequate room for these pieces.

'til 9 P.M. USE YOUR MIDWEST BANK CHARGE CARD Planning For Photographs . . Pictures are priceless. Be sure that you make arrangements for a good photographer to take your wedding pictures. Snapshots by enthusiastic relatives are fun, but a professional is worth the price. Candid pictures taken before, during, and after the wedding are most popular today; and, placed in a beautiful album, will be treasured through the years. Help the photographer in getting the "shots" you want, and if these are the only pictures you will have, be sure that several of them are taken of you alone, and you and your bridegroom alone. You will then have a choice of pictures to be sent to The McHenry PLAINDEALER for publication. As mentioned in the paragraphs about announcing the engagement, a black and white picture is needed for satisfactory newspaper reproduction. Colored pictures are seldom suitable. , Your photographer can also take a studio portrait of you alone, in advance, wearing your wedding gown and veil and holding a stock bouquet. (Most photographers keep these on hand). A portrait will be taken with the most flattering light, and will assure you of apicture showing both you and your gown to best advantage. A print of this, along with the wedding blank, can then be turned in to The McHenry PLAINDEALER, three days before the ceremony because complete details will not be published after the first week. However, pictures will be accepted at any time. Look for the "white & black canopy" our trademark Fashion Shoppe r Our floral wedding arrangements are made to your specifications.
