EARFHENwARE N CooKNG.-The fla
vor OF tool baked or boiled in earthen-
ware is aid by those who have made
the experiment to be far superior to
that OF vegetable or animal food cooked
in the same way in iron vessels for the
reason that iron Is a conductor of heat,
while eartbenware is a non-conductor;
food cooked III the latter
is rarely ever burned, the degree Il
heat not varying perceptibly during the
process Of cooking, thus preserving the
flavor of what is cooked as well as uni
formity throughout the substance of the
meat, vegetables or grains, until the pro-
cess of cooking is completed. So EARTH
enwaIe takes the premium, as it deserves
to, and those who have found cut how
much better they can do their cooking
III these vessels than in ironware, give
pots and kettles cold shoulder often.
