Imagine being cool, relaxed and rested after preparing a lavish
seven-course dinner. Sounds like fiction, but it’s fact . . . with
a new electric range! Cooking electrically is now a small matter
of turning a switch. You just prepare the food .. . set the auto-
matic oven control that maintains an even, uniform heat . . •
and dependable, low-cost electricity does the rest. No fuss, no
bother . . . perfect results every time. Your kitchen remains
degrees cooler, because your electric range is insulated to keep
heat inside. Then, too, its high-speed cooking units are in direct
contact with the cooking vessel, so very little heat escapes
around or up the sides. No wonder, the happiest, best cooks
choose modern electric ranges!
