Clinton News-Record, 1980-03-20, Page 47Up to date shower gifts You've been invited to a kitchen shower for a bride-to-be and you don't know what to bring as a gift. The bride has been living in her own apar- tment and she has a set of basic cooking utensils, dishes, pots and pans. The china pattern she has /selected is simply beyound your budget and you stiT-want to getTier a nice gift that she and her groom will appreciate. Why not consider giving a wok, a crepe pan, a slow cooker or a. high -dome clay pot as a kitchen gift. A crepe pan is an in— verted convex frying pan used for making delicate, thin pancakes that. can be filled with anything from beef stew to ice cream. The convex topside of the pan is dipped into the batter until a thin coat covers the pan. The batter cooks quickly over a gas or electric stove without being turned.. The crepe is then turned onto a plate to be filled with a delicious concoction. Several-,r.ecipe books are available with in- structions on making and filling the crepes. A wok is ,a concave Oriental stir -fry pan used for cooking- fresh vegetables and meat. The ingredients are cooked quickly to retain natural . flavors, moisture and vitamins. Many woks come with a set of utensils used for stir -fry cooking and recipe books are available on wok cooking. How often have you roasted a chicken or a , piece of beef only to have it come out dry and overcooked? Using a high -dome clay roasting ,pan will eliminate that problem. The dome cover of the clay pot allows the cook to cover the chicken or roast so that it cooks in its own juices and moisture is retained. Potatoes, carrots and other vegetables can be added to the roast and cooked with it. Slow cookers are also ceramic pots with a built- in electric heating element. Like the clay roasting pan,. they allow meat and vegetables to cook slowly in juices or gravy. Most cooks put the ingredients into the slow cooker early in the day, set the desired cooking temperature and forget about. it until mealtime. This is a greatgift for the working wife who wants to prepare wholesome meals for her family. Other popular kitchen. gifts " include waffle makers, hamburger makers and egg poaching pans. All of these items along with special cook books for each appliance are available in the housewares section of most department stores.
