Electric cooking
is “white-glove” dean!
What would happen if you rubbed a
white glove over the bottoms of your pots
and pans after cooking a big meal?
Nothing, if you cook on an electric
range. The glove would come up spot-
less — clean as before!
Yes, an electric range is white-glove
clean — clean as an electric light. Pots
and pans stay bright and shiny without
rubbing and scouring. Your kitchen
shines. Drapes, curtains and walls sparkle
with their own true colors.
Electric heat gives you clean cooking
because there’s no soot or smoke. That’s
just one of the many reasons why more
and more South Texans are enjoying
modern, electric cooking every day.
