In the Ekroth Laboratories, Inc., at New York, a con- clusive test (see results on the opposite page) was con- ducted over a seven-day period. An orange, a banana, a peach and an apple, all ripe and in good condition, were peeled and cut in halves. One set of halves was placed in an ice-cooled refrigerator, the other set in a General Electric Refrigerator. They were left in the refrigerators for seven days and temperature readings were taken in both refrigerators at regular intervals. Also, the doors were opened each half-hour to approximate conditions of ordinary house- hold use. During all this time, the temperature in the General Electric Refrigerator never went above 45 degrees, Fahrenheit, and never below 41 degrees. In the ice- cooled box, however, the temperature went as high as 68 degrees, and never went below 59 degrees. The photographs on the opposite page, taken at the expiration of the seven-day period, show how well the fruits were preserved in a General Electric Refrig- erator with its scientifically correct temperature that always remains below the danger line — 50 degrees! 1 123 ^^ INDEX p Menus and Recipes for Electric Refrigerator Adequate Refrigerator, What is an ' 31 Afternoon Bridge, Menus for 18, 19, 20 After 'Theater Lunches ' ^ 27, 28, 29 Alaska, Baked ' 108 Almond Flavor ' ^ 98 Sundae, Fig ' ^ ' 106 Angel Parfait ' 89 Apricot Cream ' * * ' 75 Aspic Jelly, Quick ^ 59 Salad in " ^ ^ ' 59 Stuffed Tomatoes in ' ' ' 61 Attractive Methods of Serving Frozen Desserts loi Baked Alaska < 108 Birthday Cake, Frozen ' 51 Biscuit Tortoni ' ' < ' 81 Bisque f , r i ' 98 Blackberry Ice Blocks with Lemonade - ' 54 Blocks, Ice ' * ' ' ' 53 Bombe, Tomato and Chicken ' ' 65 Bouillon, Frapped ' III Brown Bread Mousse ^ 81 Butterscotch Flavor ' ' 97 Icebox Cookies ' 119 Parfait , . , , ' 90 Sauce f , , ^ ' 95 Sundae i r , - ' 106 Cakes, Frozen Birthday ' * f 51 Canned Fruit, Frozen ' 11 Caramel Flavor ' ^ / 97 1 124- Cases, Patty ' ' 117 Chantilly Mousse ^ ' ^ 80 Charlotte Russe Cups, Paper , To Freeze in ' 47 Cheese, Frozen ^ < 67 Chicken Bombe, Tomato and ^ 65 Broth, Frapped < ' 113 Jellied ^ 60 Children, Party Menus for 24,25,26 Chilled Desserts and Pastries ^ 114 Fruit Salad '' ' 68 Chilling, Many Foods are Improved by 34 Chilling Unit, The < 31 To Defrost 33 Chocolate Flavor ^ 97 Float ^ 103 Icebox Pudding ^ ' 115 Ice Cream ^ ' 93 Ice Cream Soda ' ^ 101 Mint Coupe ' ' 105 Mousse ' ' ' 82 Sauce ' ^ ' 95 Sauce, Mocha ' 95 Cinnamon Flavor ^ ^ 98 Mousse ^ ^ 84 Clam Juice, Frapped ' III Cleaning, Directions for ' 121 Cocktail ' 63,64 Fruit
