I am wondering about their value. Can vou help? Pat Peekett. St. Louis. Mo. MARTHA STEWART: Its impossible to give an aecurate appraisal without actually seeing the pieces, but here is some information about refrigeratorware that will give you a better idea of what your pieces are worth. The term "refrigeratorware" refers to pitchers, water jugs, butter dishes and covered dishes for leftovers left-overs made of glass or. less fre quently, china. First manufactured in the late 1930s, these pieces were often given away with new refrigerators refrigera-tors as an incentive for families to switch from old-fashioned iceboxes. Often, refrigeratorware had the name of the appliance company (General Electric or Westinghouse, for example) stamped on the bottom bot-tom or the lid. Refrigeratorware has a simple, streamlined look. Many of the pieces were designed to stack neatly. Transparent pressed-glass refrigeratorware, refrig-eratorware, which may be colorless, amber, green, pink, blue or yellow is fairly easy to find at flea markets and antiques stores. Leftovers dishes dish-es sell for about $5 to $30 each, butter but-ter dishes for $15 to $40 and pitchers for $10 to $50. China refrigeratorware in bright, vibrant colors was made by the Hall China Co. from the 1930s to the 1950s. Hall made exclusive designs for many major appliance manufacturers. manufac-turers. Each piece was stamped on the bottom with "Hall China" and the name of the appliance company. Prices for leftovers dishes range from $20 to $60; butter dishes range from $25 to $45.

Also popular is jadeite refrigeratorware, refrigera-torware, which is made of opaque glass in varying shades of green. Leftovers dishes range from $10 to $45, and butter dishes from $15 to $75. A rare football-shaped water bottle can cost as much as $100 to $200. This is the refrigeratorware that I collect. I use it both for its original purpose and for serving. The small boxes are perfect for serving serv-ing nuts or olives at a cocktail party. QUESTION: Why do so many recipes call for unsalted butter? Will it make a great deal of difference if salted butter is used? Jo Atwater, Glen Rock, Pa. MARTHA STEWART: I always use unsalted butter, for several reasons. rea-sons. First, it allows the cook to control con-trol how much salt is going into a dish, which is crucial for baking. If a cake or pastry recipe calls for unsalted butter, that's what you should use. If you substitute salted butter for unsalted in a savory dish (such as for sauteing), don't add additional salt until the end of the cooking process. Then taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed. Second, unsalted butter is usually fresher. The added salt in salted butter but-ter acts as a preservative, which means it will keep longer. Salted butter can be refrigerated for up to one month, as opposed to two weeks for unsalted butter. Either kind of butter can be frozen for up to six months. Unsalted butter should be available avail-able at any grocery store, but you may need to look for it in the freezer freez-er section. Finally, I much prefer the sweet, pure flavor of unsalted butter. Try a taste test of the two and see which one you like better. QUESTION: I will be getting married for the second time and would like some advice on how to make the wedding special. Deborah Watts, Gasport, N.Y. MARTHA STEWART: Second weddings are wonderful celebrations. celebra-tions. Because the bride and groom are often freed from many of the pressures and expectations that accompany the planning of a first wedding, they can have the kind of wedding they want. The basic elements of a wedding remain the same, but second weddings wed-dings should downplay some of the more traditional customs. You can certainly still wear white, for example, exam-ple, but a formal gown with a long train is better left to the first-time bride. Many brides choose ivory, pink, gray or whatever color suits them best. Instead of a long veil, wear a hat or weave flowers into your hair. For the ceremony, the customary music Wagners bridal chorus from Lohengrin ("Here Comes the Bride") and Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" are frowned upon. Additionally, in a second marriage, mar-riage, the bride isn't given away by her father. Many couples choose to have a small ceremony, inviting just family and close friends. The reception, recep-tion, which can be held directly after the ceremony or on another date, can be as large or as small as you'd like. Part of the fun of the reception is that you get to break the rules a little. lit-tle. Instead of thinking in classic wedding terms, make it the best party you've ever had. Serve your favorite foods, play your favorite music, splurge on your favorite champagne. Let this event reflect your personality and style, and it will be joyful, meaningful and romantic.
