Homemaking Friday - Chapter Five
Equipping the Home
The kitchen is such an important part of the house that this chapter begins with the question of kitchen equipment. In the small modern kitchen of today, with its labour saving planning, only the minimum amount of equipment is needed.
Every housewife will have her individual needs and the quantity and size depends on the number in the family and also whether a great deal of cooking is done or only a small amount. All equipment must be put away tidily in places that entail least labour to reach - all mops, soap, etc, near the sink; saucepans between sink and cooker; cooking tins near the table and stove. The following is a list of some of the kitchen equipment you will need:
Set of cake tins, 12 patty tins, bun tins, round layer cake tins, swiss roll tin, baking sheets for pies, baking tins, set aluminium saucepans and frying pan, tier steamer, strong pan and deep frying basket, double boiler, milk saucepan, kettles, egg poacher, jelly bag, pastry board, brush and rolling pin, oven thermometer, plain and fancy border moulds, butter pats, grater, conical gravy strainer.
Vacuum Cleaners
These are no longer a luxury beyond the reach of the average housewife, and if you have cheap electricity it is worth saving up for one, even if you can't afford it at first.
