Book Description

Excerpt from The Family Herald Cook Book There are two things which the handy man, or that other treasure, the handy boy. Could make in order to bring the home kitchen nearer the hundred per cent. Mark for efficiency. One is a work-table on castors. Make it about five feet long and not more than three feet wide. Light - weight wood is preferable. Fit a shelf into the lower part about a foot from the floor and fasten firmly into the stout legs of the table. Round the edges of both top and table and then cover with best quality smooth zinc tacked well to the under side. Hot pans may be placed directly on the table, the utensils used most frequently may be stored on the shelf, and the zinc is easily cleaned and always beautifully bright. Two drawers for holding knives, cooking forks and spoons, cork-screw, meat forks, and basting spoons, will add to the usefulness of this table, but it is better to make no permanent divisions. Shallow paste-board boxes are more satisfactory and easily cleaned and renewed as well as read justed. Another arrangement of shelves is patterned after the compact book shelves that revolve on a four-footed base. The often-used utensils can be stored in this way beside the table.
