ENTERED AT STATIONERS' HALL SPECIMEN OF COMPLETE MEAL COOKED IN PYREX Menu MACARONI Soup HAM AND PoTATO HoT-PoT BRAI SED CELERY WINTER FRUIT PUDDING SAVOURY CU STARD COFFEE HI S is only one of the many complete meals that may be cooked in PYREX-meals which will please the most critica l guest, not only in Tthe eating, but in the appearance on the table. There is no washing up of two sets of pot s and dishes afterwar ds, just those which have appeared-the same as the meal was cooked in, and that is all. By careful planning menus may be so arra nged that all the dishes may be put in the oven at once and baked in the same temperature together. This is especia lly easy where there is a gas or electric oven, so that the heat can be definite ly regulated. Dinner is the time when PYREX may be regarded as most useful-and not merely a few " set " dinner s may be cooked in it, but hundreds of different ones ; enough to give every possible variety. Breakfa sts and lunches are just as easily cooked and served in it. For breakfast bacon and eggs, mu sh rooms or tomatoes, sausage s, etc ., all gain in flavour by it s use and remain hot for the late arrival. Scraps and odds and ends may be used up for luncheons and delici ously served up in PYREX. 2 SOUPS Artichoke Soup Cabba,ge Soup Ingredients : Ingredients : 2 lbs.
