Freezers are equipped with best standard motors. The motors should be so placed as to eliminate danger of motors burning out or being injured by careless handling of the ice and salt. In ordering a motor outfit include the following--your voltage, Direct or Alternating Current; if Alternating what Cycle and Phase. (See Chapter I). Buy a freezer with thought. All machinery pays better when the best is bought and close attention has been given to the purchase. CHAPTER XXV THE KITCHEN ROTARY CLUB Are you a culinary rotarian? Or do you still “beat it” by hand? The Kitchen Rotary Club is becoming a real factor in culinary economics! By means of rotary motion the mixer, the beater, the combination of these two have come to relieve the back, arm and hand and where electrically driven cause no waste of time! ELECTRIC ROTARIES To begin with, these fairy-like machines are somewhat like and unlike patent medicine advertisements--alike because they claim to do many things and unlike because they can and do fulfill their claims! For example, they beat eggs, mix bread dough, mayonnaise; stir cake batter, frostings, dressings; whip cream; mash potatoes; grind nuts, spices and meat; drive (some) ice-cream freezers; turn the food chopper; have grinding and buffing wheels for sharpening cutlery and polishing silver. In fact, they are companions not idly to be cast aside. HOUSEWIVES BAD MIXERS This will especially appeal to the housewife mayonnaisly--because many a good mixture has been wasted by inefficient mixings by the mixer being called away suddenly, etc. Then, too, many a mayonnaise is never born at all because the housewife or the cook “hasn’t the time to-day.” Where the mixer is electrically driven, time is added unto the menage and while the mayonnaise is forming the cook is _per_forming elsewhere. Egg beating, cream whipping, batter beating, all these take time. Now with the electric machine the home can revel in soufflés and cake. It can buy coffee in the bean and grind it with no effort--here is a real epicurean saving. For coffee in the bean and grinding it at home saves the volatile essences of the coffee which gives to perfect coffee the added aroma and full flavor. These machines grind cutlery and not “exceedingly slow” and so can add finesse to a slice of meat! As with the mayonnaise mixing, these utilitarian investments take the guess work out of cake, meringues, batters. Improper mixing is an immorality not easily cleansed from kitchens. Yet these instruments with perfection of mechanical agitation do the mixing with assurance and become real vice chasers. Imagine! (all things being right)--you can be sure that success will come to your cakes, sauces, breads, rolls, pies, cookies, doughnuts, cheese dishes, puddings, sauces--Remember that lumpy cream sauce? Well no more of that! Your sauces and your mashed vegetables will be lumpless!
