PAGE 5-SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER-MAY 2, 1975 Give Mom 'Woman-Liberating' Pot Whether mother is a 24- hour-a-day family home- maker or one of the grow­ ing number of working mothers, a gift of leisure time for her to do her 'own retain:^ the vitamins and nutrients that ordinary cooking drains away. They come in a variety of sizes, in kitchen-decora- thing' would be welcome. And it would be appreciat­ ed by grandmothers as well. Especially if the gift is one that frees her from being a stove or oven- watcher. There isn't a woman, no matter how she adores cooking, who doesn't at some time or other want to slam shut the oven door, lock the kitchen and hope < never to have to go into it again. She knows from first­ hand experience why cook­ ing for the family is called a household 'chore'. A task that has to be done -- and done on time. Being tied to the kitchen while waiting to check that roast or gourmet chicken dish or even a whip-up meal -- or to baste that ham or turkey -- with so many other things to do, is a fa­ miliar tiresome experience. These days, however, are easier than those when Grandma was literally tied down to the stove. With 'instant' foods, take-home meals of all kinds, and oc­ casionally going out for dinner, the day - to - day cooking routine has been somewhat relieved. Despite these modern conveniences, there does come a time when it's really a pleasure for mother, or even a newlywed, to pre­ pare and serve a delicious old - fashioned home - cook­ ed meal. Now it can be done without the old-fash­ ioned inconveniences. Pot- watching is no longer ne­ cessary with the new slow- cooking pots that are so popular. The secret of these pots is they are made of crock­ ery, long favored by re­ nowned chefs the world over. Not only does crock­ ery retain the heat and fla­ vors but it also distributes the heat for even cooking. Now converted to tem­ perature - controlled elec­ tricity, they enable anyone to prepare a meal without being tied down to check­ ing it as it cooks. All that has to be done is to set the proper temperature and mother can go on her way, for an entire day if she so desires, and it will be ready to serve when she returns. These crockery cook pots are thrifty, too. The slow cooking process tenderizes the least expensive cuts of meat in the same way as the traditional French back - of - the - stove over­ night cooking. Happily for the family budget, they consume less heating pow­ er, electricity or gas, than ovens. And for disciples of health foods, slow cooking tive colors. For example, those manufactured by Grandinetti Products, Inc., come in either 3/2-qt., 4- qt., or 5-qt. sizes. All this company's pots have its patented heat element wir­ ed around the sides of the crockery instead of at the bottom. This exclusive feature prevents bottom scorching of the food and also distributes the heat evenly, important in bring­ ing out the full flavor in ev­ ery slice or spoonful. A handsome piece is its 4-qt. oval casserole; so ver­ satile it can be used to pre­ pare a simple meal for two and yet has ample room for large roasts or a 10-lb. tur­ key. The harvest gold cas­ serole is accented by a sable brown ceramic dish which readily lifts out for serving and for easy clean­ ing. Its clear, unbreakable, high-crown cover serves as a self-baster, by retaining and evenly distributing the moisture created by the cooking. With additional time saved by using one of these pots, rather than the many usually needed to prepare a similar meal, and with oven cleaning a thing of the MOMS MATTEL! Psychologists, concerned with the current trend to belittle motherhood, urge the up-grading of full-time motherhood for those wo­ men who choose to stay home and care for their youngsters. Full-time moth­ ers should not be made to feel less valuable in this day of the Liberated Wo­ man and working mother, psychologists say. past, don't be surprised if on your mother's next birth­ day, she'll insist on pre­ paring the dinner and while it's cooking, be able to enjoy the party with­ out being isolated in the kitchen. Psychologists urge con­ scientious mothers to take time out for their own needs and recreation. Mom should not feel guilty*pr feel that she is wasting time spent on herself, say family experts. When Eve was brought unto Adam, he became filled with the Holy Spirii, and gave her the most sanctified, the most glori­ ous of appellations. He called her Eva, that is to say, the Mother of All. He did not style her wife, but simply mother -- mother ol all living creatures. In this consists the glory and the most precious ornament of woman. -- Luther Everyday Is Mother's Day!
