All cooking is done in three microwave ovens one a combination convection -microwave model) using either pyrex, corningware or con- tainers designed for microwave cooking. Even jams and jellies are made in the microwave, requiring little stirr- ing and no danger of burning on the bottom. The only food Charlotte can not prepare in her kitchen is devilled eggs, as microwave ovens tend to blow up eggs in the shell. Charlotte has owned a microwave oven since the revolutionary ap- pliances first came on the market 20 years ago. Sometimes she would take her oven to the gourmet cooking classes she taught in Coburg to speed up the cooking. Once a year she in- vited a home economist from one of the large appliance manufacturers to speak to the class about microwave cooking. Eventually, Charlotte was asked to be a consultant for the company. After teaching classes in microwave cooking, she opened her own cooking school and appliance store in Col- borne four years ago. Among the advantages offered by a microwave oven Charlotte lists speed, healthy cookings ( little water or fat are required), safe for children to use because the oven shuts off automatically as soon as the door is opened, and ease of cleaning. An add- ed bonus is encouraging men to do more cooking. Charlotte confesses she doesn't think of dinner until between :3:30 and 4 o'clock each day, and can have sup- per from its frozen state to the table in one hour. All meats slated for the barbecue are cooked first in the microwave, then put on the grill to brown. Anything requiring moist cooking is ideally suited to microwave cooking. Casseroles cook superbly, according to Charlotte. She starts off pies and cakes there, but finishes most in the convection oven. Although she has some recipes for muffins and quick breads that turn out well in the microwave, she warns that using con- ventonal recipes for these categories will likely result in disappointment unless the technique is adapted to microwave usage. - - Charlotte points out that microwave cooking requires a dif- ferent approach. She has found many long-time cooks get a microwave recipe and just scan the list of ingre- TO MARRY - - Andy and Phyllis Miller and Donald and Betty Oke are pleased to announce the for- thcoming marriage of their children, Joanne Carmen and Kevin Donald on Saturday, September 19, 1987 at three - thirty o'clock at the Presbyterian Church, Exeter, Ontario.

"If something we cook on the stove doesn't turn out, we blame the recipe or ourselves. With a microwave, we usually blame the oven, and often technique is the problem", Charlotte said. Charlotte admits she has turned buns into doorstops, and pork chops into hockey pucks, while learning to adapt to microwave cooking. She knows from experience that erring on the side of under -cooking is the best policy. A dish can always be given an extra few minutes in the fast little oven. Charlotte is very knowledgeable about the various makes and sizes of ovens, and the choice of features available. "I like to help people choose the oven best suited to their particular lifestyle. Some have 'won one, or received one as a gift, and it doesn't suit their type of cooking," she' explained. Charlotte will be offering cooking lessons in her home once she and hei family get settled in their new house. Her husband Jim has been appointed principal of Seaforth District High School.TheEtnpringhams spent a day in Exeter at the invitation of SHDHS principal Bruce Shaw, and were so impressed with the town in general, and the friendliness of the people in particular. they decided to make their home here.
