...because it's FLAMELESS
Like glowing embers, the radiant flameless heat of an electric
range broils meats with tender, juicy, "melt-in-your-mouth” good-
ness. It’s the modem, better way to broil—with penetrating radiant
heat that instantly seals in tho natural juices and protects the
tenderness of the meat. And liecause you broil with the oven door
open, you get that true broiled flavor, with never a trace of that
dry, baited-out taste. Why not start now to enjoy modern electric
broiling, as well as the many other advantages that only electric
ouoking can give you? See your electric range dealer soon lor a
