Where many people are to be fed, a few good tools like a bread-mixer (Seep. 105), meat-chopper, etc., are often more helpful than another pair of hands, unless they are especially efficient ones.

One pupil has asked for a list of necessary kitchen furnishings. A good list is given in Household Management, page 105. Here is another designed for beginners in housekeeping, or for small families living in city flats, where there is no room to store superfluous utensils. The stove and refrigerator are usually supplied with such apartments.

For light housekeeping, where a chafing-dish or small oil or gas stove is the only means for cooking, still fewer utensils would suffice. With the addition of a few fancy molds, all the foods illustrated in this book could be prepared by the utensils here mentioned. On page 101 some of the most useful are shown.

When selecting any utensil, be sure that it is of good quality, with no imperfections that will interfere with keeping it perfectly clean.
