Little Miracles 39 



shelves easiest to reach no more teetering around on a step- 

 ladder while you hunt for an elusive box of cloves or baking 

 powder. The lighter dishes and plates are on the shelves im- 

 mediately above. The whole length of the kitchen counter is 

 designed for food storage, with compartments to hold each 

 food at its own ideal temperature and humidity, including 

 vegetables, meat, butter, frosted foods, and cereals. 



This kitchen has an easy-to-reach place for everything, 

 and everything is in its place. You can prepare an entire 

 recipe at one spot, without stooping, stretching, or hunting 

 for things. Suppose you take a chicken from one of the 

 kitchen-counter compartments. Right at hand you find all 

 the materials for stuffing the chicken, roasting it, and making 

 the gravy. Then you serve it at the dining table only a step 

 or two away. No, you don't serve it on a special platter. You 

 serve it in the same utensil it was cooked in, for it is a bright, 

 clean electric utensil that plugs in along the kitchen coun- 

 ter. 



Automatic heat regulation makes these utensils ideal for 

 cooking a meal. No longer do you have to patrol the kitchen 

 looking at each pot and pan to see that something is not get- 

 ting ready to burn. No more do you worry about whether the 

 beans and corn are going to be done too soon, and will have 

 to stand around while you fix the steak or chops. Automatic 

 heat control will see that each vegetable or meat dish is done 

 at the right moment to serve piping hot thus removing a 

 major cause of worry for the cook. 



By this time you've also noted that the kitchen needs no 

 stove. That's another place where cleaning and scouring 

 would be abolished. You get another pleasant surprise when 

 you examine the sink. Instead of bothersome hand faucets, 

 there are knee-operated valves that leave both hands free. 

 And a waterproof paper bag, in a compartment built into the 

 sink, does away with the unattractive garbage pail.
