ENctOY EITECTRIC COOKING
AT ITS DEITICIOUS BEST
with the Westinghouse Automeal
Please don't look upon the Automeal as something to be used only on rare
occasions. It's a practical, everyday cooking device. . . keep it conveniently
placed on a table or cabinet, ready for use at all times. The more you use
it, the n-rore satisfaction and value it will give you. It cooks an entire meal
at one time, automatically-hence the name "Automeal."
Probably the greatest joy will be that of preparing complete, delicious
meals in a cool, clean kitchen-with hours of freedom for other things you've
been wanting to do. But do not miss the delight and pleasure it offers for
entertaining-for buffet suppers, midnight snacks, porch parties, and for
carrying hot meals along on picnics.
Last, but not least:you'll find the Automeal a real money saver. Due to
the continual self-basting action of the aluminum lid, meats preserve all
their rich, natural juices and full flavor-become thoroughly done without
drying out, Shrinkage is reduced to a minimum, and even the inexpensive
cuts become deliciously tender, So you save money two ways-enough to
make the Automeal practically pay for itself.
In the following pages, we have tried to tell you how to get the most use
and cooking enjoyment from your Westinghouse Automeal-and to suggest
many ways to please your family and delight your guests.

Roasts Perfectly-Saves Money
re::-n'T:F ..".; .,"
You'll save time, work and money by
preparing a complete meal in one opera-
tion with the Automeal. Just put your
meat, potatoes, vegetable and hot des-
sert in the Automeal and set the
automatic heat control dial. No rvatch-
ing, no worrying, until your entire meal
is done to perfection, ready to serve.
It uses little more current than a modern
electric iron.
For roasting, it's the last rvord. Tur-
key, chicken, ham, beef, lamb, pork or
other meats all preserve their rich
flavor and natural juices. No "drying
out"-thanks to the self -basting lid.
Rolls, bread, pies, cakes, cookies, bis-
cuits . . . all bake perfectly in the Auto-
meal. Accurate, automatic heat control
assures uniform results-no guessing.
Keeps the kitchen cool, saves heating
up a large oven.

What's more delicious than a piping
hot meal out of doors? Prepare a deli-
cious baked ham or roast chicken din-
ner in the Automeal, carry it right along
with you in the car, and enjoy it at your
favorite picnic spot-a treat de luxe.
Planning a church supper, or enter-
taining a large group for luncheon?
Large quantities of food are easily cooked
in the Automeal bakecl beans for thirty,
for instance. And you can serve right
from the Automeal-another timesaving
feature.
Canning fruit is another practical,
moneysaving use for the Automeal. It
easily holds tu.elve pint jars of fruit
and the automatic heat control insures
perfect results.

. AND WITH THE BROILER-GRID
Tempting Broiler Meals
"M-m-m." . what a treat for hungrY
husbands and healthy youngsters. Big
juicy, tender steaks broiled to a turn,
and surrounded with plenty of mush'
rooms. If they tire of steaks, which they
seldom do, you can tempt them equally
well with broiled chops, ham or fish.
The Westinghouse Broiler-Grid broils
them all to mouth-watering perfection.
You can have a complete, delicious
broiler meal in twenty to thirty minutes,
using precooked vegetables or fruits.
And for those breakfast appetites-
golden brown griddle cakes with crisp
sausages, or a whole gridful of sizzling
bacon and fried eggs. The Broiler-Grid
gives fast, even frying-provides ample
cooking surface for six eggs or six griddle
cakes at one time,

The Broiler-Grid can help with your party
or luncheon, too. You can prepare a whole
trayful of tempting tidbits . cocktail sau-
sages, olives wrapped in bacon strips, antl
other dainties. Or if you want to get right
down to good old-fashioned food, the Broiler-
Grid rvill turn out plenty of grilled hamburgers
and toasted buns for the whole party.
For breakfast or luncheon, you can toast six
slices of bread or six sandwiches at one time
with the Broiler-Grid. In other words, it's
a mighty useful cooking servant to have around
-morning, noon or night.

HOW TO USE AND REMOVE THE INSET PAN
WHERE TO ATTACH AND USE YOUR AUTOMEAIJ
This inset pan should be in the Auto-
meal for all preheating and cooking,
except when roasting a large turkey.
(See turkey recipe). Recessing prevents
grease and moisture from lid from run-
ning down outside the Automeal. To
remove inset pan for cleaning, place
fingers under extended portion of rim,
and pull upward. It may then be taken
to the sink and washed the same as
any other kitchen utensil.
Attach the cord to the terminals at end
of the Automeal, and connect to any
wall outlet. NEVER CONNECT TO
A CEILING LIGHT SOCKtrT.
We suggest you provide some table or
cabinet on which your Automeal can be
left connected ready for use at all times.
The table pictured with the Automeal
(left) is a very practical one, and may
be obtained from your dealer. The
two shelves are convenient for storing
the broiler and dishes.
Although you will probably use the
Automeal most frequently in the kitch-
en, it is easily portable, so clo not miss
the delight and pleasure it offers for
entertaining-buffet dinners, midnight
snacks, porch parties and Sunday night
suppers. And for picnics, food will keep
hot for several hours if the Automeal
is wrapped in a blanket or other heavy
covering.
Turn dial until the desired cooking
temperature is directly opposite the
pointer and the light glows through it
(Figure 1). When the light flashes out
it is an indication that the exact
temperature is reached. THIS LIGHT
FLASHES OFF AND ON INTER-
MITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE
COOKING PERIOD. Current is being
used only when the light is on. When
through cooking, turn dial to "off"
position. (Figure 2)' This makes it
unnecessary to disconnect cord.
