Then, too, because some types and amounts of foods can be cooked up to four times faster by micro- waving than by conven­ tional methods, there are potential savings on the electric bill to be consid­ ered. Now there is some good news for the homemaker who would like to get on the microwave bandwagon but whose present kitchen doesn't have the counter- space to spare for one of the popular eountertop models.

There's a 60-minute dig­ ital timer for those foods best prepared by time, and GE's Automatic Chef con­ trol for accurate, no- guesswork temperature cooking of many foods to the desired serving temp­ erature you choose. Automatic Chef is an ex­ clusive feature of OE Mi­ crowave Cooking Centers --automatic temperature control is not offered by any other manufacturer in this type of cooking equip­ ment. A special electronic tem­ perature probe is Inserted into the food to be cooked, and the probe is connected to an outlet on the oven wall. The user then selects the internal temperature de­ sired--referring either to the cookbook provided with the appliance, or the receipe guide on the con­ trol panel--sets the power level, and punches the Start button. When the cooking is complete, the oven turns itself off and audibly signals the home- maker. The built-in model has variable power microwave cohtrol, offering an almost unlimited selection of power levels from about 100-watts to 625-watts for total cooking flexibility. The hi-lo range model of­ fers three proven micro­ wave cooking powers: low, medium/defrost and high.
