-Ew women would be without fire.
r. less cooker II they realized how
= much money It saves in the cost oil
food materials, and the cost Of fuel.
There is nothing mysterious about the
fireless, even though many still call it "the
magic box" When cooking under ordinary
methods, a great deal of heat radiates and
is lost The freless cooker prevents this
wastefuI radiation Of heat by shutting up
the pot Of food away from the air while its
cooking is being completed.
The manufactured ireless cooker offered
the housewife to-day may consist Of one,
two or three compartments. Into each of
these is fitted a utensil with tight-closing
lid. The space around the opening, or
well" is filed with packing Of asbestos,
mineral wool or other similar substance.
A thick, heavy lid clamps over the whole,
thus making the box airtight.
For all boiling, steaming and stewing
processes we simply start the cooking of
the food on the top of the stove in the
usual way When the food is partially
cooked (the time depends on the kind of
food and on the amount in the pot) the lid
is tightly clamped down and the pot al
lowed to fill to its fullest with steam. It is
then quickly taken from the stove, placed
in the well" of the fireless, the lid
clamped down and 10! the food continues
cooking.
It continues cooking with the heat which
would have escaped if the pot had re-
manned exposed to the air on the stove
In other words, the fireless gives free fuel
to the housewife. Many foods, for in
stance, that take an hour or more cooking
In the usual manner can be started on any
stove for ten or fifteen minutes and then
put into the fireless to continue the slow
cooking for a number of hours. The saw
ing in direct heat varies from twenty or
thirty minutes, in the case of oatmeal to
four or fve hours, in the case of boiled ham
With gas costing two cents per hour one
can readily see how much money this
means saving. In some cases the saving
is as much as six or eight cents on a sin
gle dish. In every case the cost of fuel is
cut either half or a third.
Equally important is the way the fireless
saves in actual food materials We know,
for examples that if we roast a leg of NUT
