Cooking by Steam.

"Sterick's Steam Cooker" is candidate
for popular favor and is unquestiOnably
worthy of a warm reception. We have
thoroughly tested the article and unhesi-
tatingly pronounce it the nearest approach
to perfection in cooking utensils that we
have ever seen. This new and valuable
invention Git was patented Sept. q, 1879
is tin cylinder eighteen or twenty inches
high, with four separate compartments
each designed for different article of food
and all traversed from bottom to top by
tubes around the sides, through which the
steam is conveyed from the boiler below.
The food is all cooked separately and by
steam, thus retaining to a great extent
the flavOrS of the article, which are
almost entirely destroyed by the of cook
ing heretofore in vogue. There is no
doubt about it that, by the use of steam,
food is prepared in a manner immeasur.
ably superior to the old methods.
This Cooker" when in use, occupies
only one hole of the stove, and requires
no attention except an occasional replen-
ishing of the water supply in the boiler.
one being amply sufficient to prepare
food one cooking for a very large family,
two would almost feed hotel. Taken
altogether, it is the completest thing of
the kind yet made, and will no doubt have
an immense success. There is no taint of
humbuggery about it whatever, and every
family should at once procure one.
A. G. Stuart, agent, is in town introduce
ing the 'Steam Cooker" and may be found
at the Gibson House. He and the inven-
tion come warmly recommended by the
press of the South. He has with him a
formidable array of testimonials from
prominent citizens of the various towns
he has visited, and they unanimously pro-
nounce it as absolutely unequaled. We
endorse all that has been said about
the invention and cordially recommend its
universal adoption.
