1000 revolutions is all you can effect in a minute, no matter how “Red”
you may be. This machine turns 2000 revolutions, outrushing the Russians
and all Central Europe!
SOME EVOLUTIONS
In from one to five and ten minutes can eggs, frostings, and mayonnaise
be accomplished!
Full speed for heavy mixtures, half speed for lighter, a gram of cream
can be had in less than five minutes.
A gallon of oil in relation to a mayonnaise dressing took but ten
minutes to be used up.
Now can _you_ beat it? Hasn’t this phrase lost its slangy significance?
This little angel weighs but 2³⁄₄ pounds, and its lightness is one of
its charms.
REQUIREMENTS
All these machines should be easily attached to wall or lighting sockets
or outlets. (Electric).
They must be easily cleaned.
The motor must be protected from you and food stuffs and you must be
protected from it.
All attachments must attach easily. When easily is used it is meant to
the limit of ease. All parts must fit, so that the doing of a new
operation is not accompanied with dread. It must be a pleasure to depart
from coffee grinding to turning the ice-cream pail and polishing silver.
Now, kitchening is no endurance test. The fatigue is eliminated. Your
days may not be so “stirring” but at the end of them you will feel like
the theatre and what not.
The hand-turned cake and bread mixers are better than mixing by hand and
spoon--but if possible, the electrically driven mixers which come in
many styles and prices will give you more than comfort and will outlast
many a cook.
The hand-turned stoners, buffers, grinders, etc., are very efficient but
not quite the joy an electrically driven unit may be in an electrically
conducted ménage.
These machines are Utopian agitators! Agitating for food and helping the
Kitchen Workers of the World.
CHAPTER XXVI
FLAWS OR FLOORS IN YOUR KITCHEN
The question of the kitchen flooring in the home is of course, a very
profound and serious subject. Those who build away from cities are hard
put to it to know exactly what there is on the market and those who live
in cities are confused by the variety of floorings and the attractive
attributes as their salesmen recite their eulogies. In order to help the
prospective buyer we have set down a few basic facts.
FLOOR REQUIREMENTS
Of course, you realize that every kitchen flooring should, as nearly as
possible, be:--
Attractive,
Easy to keep clean,
Noiseless,
Odorless,
Vermin and dust proof,
Comfortable to feet and back,
Non-slippery whether dry or wet,
Durable (no upkeep but washing and polishing),
Fire proof or fire retardent,
Impervious to changes in temperature,
Laid over any kind of floor base,
Lightweight enough to be suitable to any structure,
Seamless or joined so as to be virtually seamless,
Non-warping, non-expansive or non-contracting.
