AND MRS. KENT THOMAS AT HOME IN MC HENRY - Mr. and Mrs. Kent Thomas are making their home in McHenry after their Dec. 2 wedding in St. Paul's Lutheran church, Waukegan.

Since aluminum foil containers are not recommended for some brands of microwave ovens, the foods they contain-- entrees, prepared vegetables, baked goods--where neces­ sary, can be "popped" out and cooked in a microwave- safe serving dish made of glass, ceramic, hard plastic or even paper. Several frozen food producers are turning to new paperboard containers that can be used in both mi­ crowave and conventional ovens. Many frozen food pack­ ages include microwave cooking instructions, usually written for high power-type ovens. These instructions should be followed carefully. Many frozen foods need not be thawed before cooking in a microwave. Cakes, breads, breakfast rolls, cookies and other prebaked foods can be taken quickly from the frozen to the ready- to-eat state. Large items require al­ ternating heating and "rest­ ing" periods to equalize the heat through the food. This prevents the food from being cooked on the surface or edges while some of the in­ side is still frozen. A defrost cycle on a microwave oven al­ ternates heating and "resting" automatically. A number of factors in­ fluence microwave cooking times: • Volume--The more you put in the oven, the longer the cooking time, because the con­ centration of micro­ waves in each piece n! COMING JANUARY ««n 25th 26th 27th DOLLAR DAYS to 1245 N. Green St. 385-0047 of food is less when more is present. • Density -- Compact foods take longer to heat than porous ones. A slice of meat may take 2 to 3 minutes to heat up, a slice of bread the same size--30 seconds. • Shapes -- Evenly shaped foods cook better; uneven corners tend to overcook. • Ingredients--Liquid, fat and sugar attract microwaves, so foods containing these in­ gredients heat up extra fast. • * • * It is easy to get the idea that no one should interfere with your busi­ ness. PLAN AUCTION - Kathy Cichonski and Rose Merkle are looking over a hand-made afghan, an example of the many fine craft items that will be offered at the Edgebrook P.T.O.'s meeting and craft auction. The auction will be held immediately following the general meeting, Jan. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Edgebrook school.
