THE GAS COOKER

THE GAS COOKER

The education of nearly every housewife has included the science of cooking by both tlie Gas Cooker nod the coal range, and comparisons are decidedly unfavourable to the latter. The Kitchen Range requires special stoking to raise the oven to the requisite degree of heat and this is, hot infrequently difficult to maintain owing to fuel consumption and replenishing. Again the constant cleaning and dusting incidental to the kitchen range arc factors which materially assist in prolonging tlie housewife’s daily toil. The gas cooker does not require special stoking. The gas lighted, one realises that a splendid oven service is available in a few moments and can lie maintained indefinitely. J.he misstatement that a gas-cooker taints food is too old-fashioned and mythical to need refutation here. Food is better cooked, more quickly and cheaply. No working under hot and exhausting conditions, and furthermore, the meal is always ready on time.

The 1 aege and increasing business being cone in gas fuel, is due to its cleanliness, reliability and labour saving advantages. All kinds of gas-cookers are obtaiuabe at the Hokitika Gas Works Office.
