48 DEALER, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, Microwave person is holding it near his or her Liz Walsh, director of product evaluation for Tappan Appliance Division, said companies try every. thing they think consumers might try, and recommend against any. thing that could be hazardous. "We tell consumers not to deepfat fry because of the fat temperature and the possibility of spattering in close quarters. That's a concern top of range, too, but you have more room move around.
If you do things we specifically say. not to do, you invalidate the warranty," said Walsh. Tappan also recommends against tight covering. All manufacturers try to protect themselves "or it will come back to haunt them," said Walsh. Barbara Harris, a Portland, home economist who has been teaching microwave cooking for 20 years, discussed Kafka's book en route 1 to a seminar at Kent State University last week.
"There are better methods for deep-fat frying and better uses for a microwave. Why not get a small deep-fat fryer with ilt-in safety features? "And I've forgotten to vent before cooking and had things burst. You never forget again," said Harris. Pricking the plastic wrap after cooking, as Kafka suggests, often does not work, said Harris. Cheap plastic, especially, may simply stretch under the knife tip.
Kafka responded that she does not work for oven manufacturers and felt she had a responsibility only to the public. "I looked at deep-fat frying in the context of normal cooking. -d recommend cooking small quantities in a large container in a fullpower oven in only four recipes. Bits of food fall to the bottom of the container, so they wouldn't burn. Oil reaches 375 degrees in 15 love minutes and doesn't get any hotter for another 10 minutes.
It wouldn't reach a flashpoint until it got to 600 degrees." Any deep-fat frying is danger- not ous, said Kafka. On the stove, fat but can spatter in your face. In the microwave, it will not. You should never use cracked, chipped or ers crazed containers that are likely to visit break for any cooking, she said. the "I certainly would not recommend deep-fat frying if it would invalidate your warranty." did Her critics, said Kafka, often recommend making pralines or peanut brittle in the microwave, and, she do.
points out, "sugar also gets You have to be careful about TV, steam when lifting any lid, she said, and lifting plastic after microwave cooking is no exception. Use heavy wrap designed for microwave use and you can prick it before you open it, she said. all After our testing, reported on Page 6-F, we also recommend against deep-fat frying in the microwave. And we prefer to use a turntable rather than tight wrap. The book, however, still contains much that is interesting and useful.
Like many creators who choose to do independent research, Kakfa tickles the imagination. And she provides interesting details, such as how Granny Smith and McIntosh apples cook differently in the microwave. As Harris noted, Kafka will reach and inspire a different cook than many traditional microwave cookbook authors do. Something's troubling fat wife mean mate DEAR ABBY: I need someone to talk to. I love my husband, but he makes me feel awfully sad.
I'm fat (185 pounds, 5 feet 6). He is mean to me and calls me names for being fat. I've gone to weight-loss clinics and groups, and when I start to lose weight, he gets meaner. He accuses me of flirting and cheating behind his back. I would never think of doing anything like that.
He never takes me out. He says he's ashamed to be seen with me. If I put on some decent clothes, he says, "Who are you getting dressed up for?" Our daughter is 6 years old and she is plump, too, so he's getting mean with her about her weight. I'm a grown woman, but she's just a child and doesn't understand it. I just reread this letter.
Just seeing what I have written has made me realize that my husband doesn't really love me. He doesn't like me. I am going to file for divorce. I love him, but I'll get over it. Many years ago, I loved a man who dumped me and left me brokenhearted.
It was the pits, but I got over it, and I can get over this, too. Wish me luck, Abby. Frannie in Seattle DEAR FRANNIE: I would discourage a woman from filing for divorce while she still "loves" her husband, regardless of whether he deserves her love. Offer him the chance to get into family counseling. If he refuses, go alone.
And when you are able to put your emotions aside and make a rational decision, if you think you and your child would be better off without him, file for divorce. DEAR ABBY: I want to thank you for your answer to that reader who asked if it was too late to fulfill his lifelong dream to become a lawyer at 70. You said, "It's too late to fulfill your dream only if you think it is. I am a widow, age 73, and have a burning desire to become a poet. I write many poems but have never had enough courage to send any of them to a publisher.
Now, I think I will, thanks to you. Great Grandmother in Milwaukee DEAR GREAT GRANDMOTHER: You already are a poet, but as yet, an unpublished one.

I these elderly people because they are so special. They have lived their lives and helped others all those years. It is our turn to help them. But my job is very difficult, because these people are ill, because they are depressed.
It breaks my heart to watch grandmothers, grandfathers, mothand fathers wait for a card, a or a telephone call. These are same people who stayed up all night with a sick child, baby-sat whenever they were needed and without so the daughter they loved could have a special dress. They have all day with Up at 7 o'clock for breakfast, then a little TV, then lunch, more and before you know it, it's time for supper and bed. A short visit or a ride in a car on a Sunday afternoon would be like heaven. Where are all the friends that mean so much to them? Where are those grandchildren they brag about and whose pictures they show to everyone? The old folks make excuses and say, "That's all right.
I don't mind. They are so busy." But I can see the tears in ANN LANDERS their eyes and I'm sure if I could look inside I would see a broken heart. Please, visit the elderly in homes, nursing facilities and in their homes. It will brighten their lives and give them something to live for. Westmoreland City, Pa.
