A Waterless Cooker

N épprecintiye | reader describes @ ‘new type of waterless cooker. She says: I have just returned. from the country, where there is no electricity and everything has to be done in a primitive fashion, However, . these friends of mine, during my stay received from Sydney a waterless:cooker which they had ordered. This enables them now to cook for a large famuy on one primus stave. This wondertul utensil comprises three compartments, The largest one is. placed at. the bottom, in which your joints, poultry, and stews may be placed in the ordinary way, using the usual amount of dripping, and with it any vegetable to be roasted. In this bottom compartment is also an aluminium plate with ridges which acts as an automatic stirrer, and prevents the meat from sticking or burning. The great advantage of cooking méat this way is there is no nourishment or weight lost. It tastes just like meat cooked in a Maori ovenand you'll never forget how delicious that is if you have ever tasted it. In the middle compartment vegetables for boiling are placed dry, and without salt. At the bottom are pere forated holes, through which the steam rises. In this compartment is also 4 stand which covers the vegetables. Three moulds can be placed on this stand, and steam puddings, stewed fruit, custards, and milk puddings are placed. Then there is a lid which eovers everything. Everything is fool proof, and even a child could make cakes in it. The great advantage is that nothing ever burns, and even if the dinner was put on early in the morning on 2 low gas jet, or electric hot plate nothing would be overdone. Think also of the saving of heating cost.
