COOKING DONE
MUCH EASIER
FireIess Cooker Saves Time
and Costs Little When
Made at Home
HAVE YOU ONE IN YOUR HOUSE?
The Directions Here Given Are Easily
Followed, Since Only Few Pur-
chased Articles Are Needed to Help
You Make Flreless Cooker at Home.

"Will it burn me?' asked the child
when called upon to move a fireless
cooker. The very idea of a cooker
implied heat to the child's mind.
| 1t takes heat to cook in the fireless
cooker, but the principle Of cooking is
little different from that of cooking
on top of the stove. Many years ago
people heated stones and dropped
them into a bag or kettle containing
food, the hot stones cooking the food.
Sometimes an iron pot, with cover
was placed in hole dug in the
ground and covered with grass and
leaves. This kept the heat in the food
and cooked it.
Food that is cooked In a fireless
cooker Is heated to boiling point and
sometimes cooked for few minutes,
but at all events it is thoroly heated,
then placed in the cooker which is so
constructed as to keep all of this heat
confined In the utensil containing the
food. The heat retained in the cook
er for long time thoroly cooks the
food.
Material needed for making cook
err: box, bucket or can; one piece of
zinc Of tin; asbestos paper; material
for filing; metal can with cover;
stone for heating; cooking utensils;
button hook; flour and water; paste;
hinges and fasteners.
An old trunk, dry goods box,
candy bucket or lard can, may be
used to make a fireless cooker. A
wooden box for a homemade cooker
is preferable to metal one, because it
keeps the heat in better than metal
does, and if painted nicely will be
kept clean easily. The size of the box
will depend upon how much cooking il
to be done In the cooker, but for q
family of six, a box 30 inches long, Is
inches wide and IA inches deep will be
ample, and, if this cannot be had, a
candy bucket will be great help, or
two can be made II necessary. The
square box is preferable, however, as
the cover Is more easily made. The
above measurements are inside ones.
In selecting the material for the
cooker, first have in mind the size of
the cooking utensils to be used. Then
find tin bucket with lid, in which
an iron stove lid or soapstone radi-
ator can be placed and one which, at
the same time will hold the cooking
utensils to be used Much time and
trouble will be saved IL these things
O no NhAs oh NfG oct unI0 fad

be large enough to allow the covered
bucket to set inside, after there has
been at least three inches of filing
