cooking qualities OF nrsiees

then I heard of these marvellous
ranges now and again. but they are
net 20 be found In shops OF stores.
I usderstAnd. and one learn OF them
only By word OF mouth ! want my
readers TO know that such thing
Exists. although at the present time.

You oan put your food In. set the

pVt on the table II saves gas since
the entire meal can be cooked at
enc tins. IL saves timo siuce the
meal may be prepared hours before
II is to be eaten
This 10 how II 10 done:
Attached to the gas oven ts lit
tie wheel which operstes tho oven
regulator. You set this wheel any
Temperature you want. light your
gas and forget your meal until 1t
II time to servo II. 1t viii be
thovoushly cooked. Once 1t is
cooked, Il cannot cook any more
Neither can II dry up.
There's nothing complicated At
All. There are little notches on the
regulator wheel. and you may have
your food In the oven six hours or
two, aud II will be cooked correct
ly according to how you plan 1t.
For instance. suppose you want
TO have beef pot roast. boiled po-
tatoes, buttered beets and bread
pudding for your dinner. First you
( seer the meat, as you would In pre-
pairing II In the ordinary way.
Then peel your potatoes and place
In q sauce pan with water to COW
er and Q pinch OF salt. Wash the
beets, cover with water. Make your
pudding and put 1t in bake dish
a. usual.
Now, let's suppose you want to
leave the house At 1:30 in the af-
ternoon, and you want dinner at
$50. You set your regulator at
225 degrees. which means five
hours cooking. put In the beef. the
two pans OF vegetablss aud the
pudding. You light your gas and
or you 90. Your part 70 done. The
stove with almost human ,intslli-
gsNcs does the rest
while you are .reveling in the
movies or bargain sale, the oven
will heat until II reaches the re-
Qutred degree of heat; then 1t au-
tomaticaIly shuts off the flame Of
gas, but maintain the same heat,
until you como home, when you
find your food perfectly cooked.
with all the throughness usually
. associated with the fireless cook
cr type OF cooking.
Hard to believe, isn't II? -
There IL no preliminary cooking
on top burners-no pre-heating.
There Is no "pot-wstching." The
secret lies in the steadily maintain
ed heat, and there is no more trou-
bic about caring for the oven with
the regulator than the oven with
out
Suppose you wanted that same
menu cooked in three hours in
stead Of five. You would set your
regulator at 275 degrees instead OF
226 and with the higher tempera-
tuYe your foods would be as per
fectiy cooked in the lessened time

cooking: "This is my lucky day,
everything has come out wslf"-or
'.this Is my unlucky day-my cake
was a dismal failure" There can
be no unlucky days when you alb
solutely know the temperature OF
your oven
In the old way. IL we baked
bread. we watched the oven and
every fifteen minutes we hastened
TO the kitchen to watch the baking
PROCESS. Not so with this new
range. You set your oven at the
required heat, $50 degrees, put in
the bread and leave II for an hour.
3. That's the end OF that For pies,
you set II at 400 degrees and you
are sure Of a perfectly baked and
exquisitely Drowned Pie. No test
ing Of the oven: no guess work; no
chance OF burning.
You know I have always con-
tended that one trouble with wom-
en- and their housework is that
they are not progressive enough In
their household appliances. Partly
through reasons Of economy, partly
through not wanting to change,
they stick to the same methods and
the same tools that their grand
mothers used. Men are quite diff
ferent in the way they manage
their business. They are always
installing the new and better thing
IN machinery and time saving de-
vices. This kind OF a stove is as
much better than the old type as
an automobile Is quicker than a
horse carriage or an aeroplane
than q stage coach Just at pres
ent the ambition OF my life is to
own one
