Mrs.' Allen presented her ideas for quick meals for busy days to a large group of Layton women last month and offered some of her favorite ideas and recipes for keeping appealing meals on the table on hectic days. "Always prepare meals in an orderly kitchen," she said. Clean up all evidence of previous meals or snacks before you begin. It helps you to work more quickly and efficiently, and youll feel better in a clean kitchen. "Plan menus in advance and have all of the ingredients for a quick meal in the house. This, she said, will eliminate time consuming trips to the store for an item or two. Mrs. Allen also advised homemakers to have a phone with a long cord or even a cordless phone in the kitchen so that the meal can be prepared while taking calls if necessary. She is a fan of double batch baking, allowing her to make two meals on a less busy day and freezing one for a convenient meal later. Mrs. Allen also said that being a "time and task juggler really helps a busy cook. Doing several tasks at once, such as cooking meat while setting the table saves many valuable minutes. To avoid family complaints when it is apparent that dinner might be delayed, she suggested having the table set and an apron on when the family gets home. "Even if dinner is late they can see that there is hope of a meal, she said. Tips for quick cooking or cleanup can speed things also. Mrs. Allen said that if holes are poked in the center of hamburgers before cooking they will cook faster. When they are done the holes will be gone. Potatoes will bake faster if a hole is made with a nail in the center before baking. It can shorten baking time by 15 minutes, she said. Splattering can be eliminated from frying foods by sprinkling a little salt in the frying pan or by placing a metal colander upside down over the skillet. The holes in the colander allow the steam to escape but keeps the grease splatters in the pan and colander for quick clean up. Messy boilovers can be prevented by adding 2 teaspoons of oil to the cooking Unusual Goodies Cinnamon Roll Make Tasty Treats to microwaves creates a SHARON STEELE Review Correspondent Although fragrant pinwheel breakfast rolls of basic sweet dough are most often filled with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, and perhaps a few juicy raisins or crunchy nuts, the traditional cinnamon roll can be dressed up and renamed for special occasions. Add brown sugar and and you have carmel pecan rolls. Spread the dough with tangy sweetened orange extract, and you serve up orange nut rolls. Candied fruit, glaceed cherries, and chopped dates may also be used to change the character and flavor of this popular yeast bread concoction, map-lein- e, which is lightly glazed before serving. Despite their elegant and complicated appearance, the actual making of pinwheel rolls is not hard to master. For ease in cutting the dough, which is rolled jellyroll style on a floured cloth or board, draw a long loop of ordinary thread beneath one end of the unbaked roll. Cross the thread ends over the h top at a distance marking a slice, and pull the crossed strings to make the cut. Because yeast is actually a tiny living plant that consumes sugar from the dough while giving off the gases that cause the rolls to rise, the dough is kept warm (85) during the process. If the room is cool, place the covered dough on a rack over container of hot water. Active dry yeast works best dissolved in liquid at 110 to 115. Water at this temperature feels quite warm when dropped on the wrist, but should not be hot enough to kill the yeast. one-inc- Leftover dough may be shaped, minus the filling, for Parkerhouse, clover leaf, or other dinner type rolls. Unbaked unshaped dough keeps well in the refrigerator for up to four days, when placed in a bag. If unused after that time, the dough remains workable, but it loses some of its loft and begins to zip-lock- treat almost ver warmed-o- FILLINGS indisting- CINNAMON: d uishable from the product.
