The way kitchens work : the science behind the microwave, teflon pan, garbage disposal, and more / by Sobey, Edwin J. C.,1948-(CARDINAL)721601;
MARCIVE 7/2/13Includes bibliographical references (page 203).Aluminum foil -- Bag sealer -- Blender -- Bread machine -- Can opener -- Coffee grinder -- Coffee maker -- Coffee roaster -- Coffee urn -- Cork remover -- Crock-pot -- Deep fat fryer -- Dishwasher -- Dustbuster -- Electric grill -- Electric knife -- Electric teapot -- Espresso maker -- Faucet -- Fire extinguisher -- Food processor -- Garbage disposal -- Garlic chopper -- Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) switch -- Hot plate -- Ice maker -- Juicer -- Kitchen torch -- Knife -- Microwave oven -- Mixer -- Oven (electric) -- Oven (gas) -- Pepper mill -- Popcorn popper -- Pressure cooker -- Range hood -- Refrigerator -- Refrigerator magnet -- Salad shooter -- Salad spinner -- Saran wrap -- Smoke detector -- Steamer -- Stove -- Teflon-coated frying pan -- Timer -- Toaster -- Toaster oven -- Trash compactor -- Turkey timer -- Waffle iron -- Water filter -- Watercooler -- Wine saver.If you've ever wondered how a microwave heats food, or why aluminum foil is shiny on one side and dull on the other, or whether it is better to use cold or hot water in a garbage disposal, you should read The Way Kitchens Work. Modern kitchens are hi-tech marvels, with more machinery than any other room in the house. Each of the 50+ entries includes its history, interesting trivia, and a discussion of the technology involved. Readers will also enjoy reviewing the utensils' and appliances' original patent blueprints, as well as photos of the "guts" of these culinary tools. The author even includes odd side stories, such as how the waffle iron played a role in the founding of Nike, how you can reset a turkey timer, and why socialite Josephine Cochran really invented the dishwasher in 1886 -- it wasn't because she wanted to ease the burden of her servants, but because she wanted a device that would avoid the unsightly chips associated with hand washing. And finally, for those whose stovetop skills are still in development, Sobey provides information on the invention and use of the smoke detector and hand-held fire extinguisher. - Publisher.

It traces the history of these activities from the World War I period, when the CWS was activated to supervise the offensive and defensive aspects of gas warfare throughout the Army, until the end of World War II. The first volume in the series, "Organizing for War", discusses the development of the CWS organization and mission as well as personnel management and military training. The third volume, entitled "Chemicals in Combat", will deal with the chemical warfare activities in the theaters of operations. In treating research and development, the present volume concentrates on CWS projects that proved of greatest significance to the armed forces during World War II. It attempts to point up the problems that arose in course of research and development and to indicate the solutions which the scientists hit upon. Since research and development in the zone of the interior was closely related to research and development in the theaters of operations, the volume covers activities in both areas. In contrast to research and development, procurement and distribution differed considerably as between the zone of the interior and the theaters of operations; in the theaters these activities were closely associated with the commanders' combat responsibilities. The volume, therefore, confines itself to a review of procurement and distribution in the zone of the interior, leaving narration of theater activities to the volume "Chemicals in combat."
