Convenient NelU
Gas Stove Model
Combines Many Innovations
Including Arrangement to
Turn Meat in Oven.

improvements and innovations Of
all sorts are constantly being intro
duced in the use of gas, and with each
one come added comfort and tighten
ed work for the housekeeper or cook,
according 10 the Pictorial Review.
One of the newest and most prac-
tical gas stoves on the market, the
kind that is suitable for the average
family offers considerably from the
old models in that it is built on cast
iron table, which brings ovens and
burners at just the right height and
provides a spacious lower shelf for
holding dishes or cooking utensils.
These stoves are in different styles
and sizes, and may be had with either
three or four burners and with ovens
at the right or left side, according to
the position of the stove in the kitch-
en-. In fact, the variety of gas stoves
is so large, and there are so many
different arrangements of the various
parts, that il is quite easy to obtain
la stove suitable for any kitchen, no
matter what the size, shape or con-
ditions may be, and specifications for
stove of any sort can be filled with
little trouble, as a general thing.
In these new stoves the same set
of burners heats the broiling oven and
the baking oven above, and the stop
the stove, the pilot light being in the
center. which permits of easy light
ing through the front of the range,
or through the bottom oven, according
TO design.
One OF the most complete stoves OF
this type has an ingenious arrange
ment for turning meat that is being
broiled without taking it out Of the
oven. A lever on the outside of the
Gfo "a nd
pan at the same time, and there is
sufficient space between the pan and
grid TO allow the grid, which is dou-
BILE and holds the meat firmly in
place, to turn. This is done by means
of a handle. Other useful features
Of this stove include a glass door in
the baking oven with a heat indica-
tor inserted in the metal frame and
an extra shelf situated over the burn
ers to keep plates or food hot. In
addition to the usual grid for broil-
ing, many Of the new stoves are now
furnished with woven wire shelf that
forms a toast rack. on which toast can
be made in>he most approved man
ner and with the least trouble. The
slices of bread are laid on the shelf,
which is placed as close TO the flame
as desired, without the bother Of US
ing an extra rack or holder.
Numerous cleats, or supports for
t1e shelves, are being put into the
new stoves, and in place of the three
or four cleats which were formerly
considered sufficient, baking and
broiling ovens are now furnished with
sets OF cleats ranging anywhere from
six TO nine in number. They are Of
necessity, quite close together, and
therefore provide much better facil-
ity for placing the article that is be-
ing cooked at just the right distance
from the burners.
a double-oVen range, useful for the
woman who has large household is
another practical development. One
type Of these ranges combines also
with the increased oven space a side
brOiler and a cake baker.
There is also a combination gas
stove and fireless cooker which is a
great convenience. since both are
needed in any well-equipped kitchen
The cooker is attached TO the right Of
the burners, and as soon as the food
has been heated TO the proper point
on the stove 1t may be popped into
the cooker.
