The Aladdin oven, showing principles of operation. ter recognition than it has, (Fig. 303) should be in every household, for it furnishes an accurate, satisfactory and economi- cal means for maintaining steady, low temp- eratures. The " fireless cooker " is deservedly com- ing into common use in this country (Fig. 304.) This is simply a device for conserving heat that is previously generated on the top of the stove. The principle of construction is to have a thick nest of some closely packed non-conducting mater- ial, such as mineral wool, asbestos, wool, excelsior, sawdust, hay or the like, surrounding the recep- tacle containing the hot material. The non-conduct- ing, surrounding substance allows but slow dissi- pation of heat, and a slow, moderate temperature is thus maintained for a long period of time. There are several of these "fireless cookers" on the mar- ket, but any ingenious person may construct one, which, if carefully made, will prove very satisfac- tory. In brief, the "fireless cooker" is a tight box, tightly packed with non-conducting material. A space in the center is allowed just large enough to hold the receptacle to be used, and the surrounding material should be of about equal depth on all sides. A thick cushion of the same material should be made to cover the top and : tight, and the top i the box should lock closely over all. The utensil used should have a tight - fitting cover. If meat is to be cooked in such a "cooker" it should be com- pletely cov- ered with boiling water and allowed to boil a few minutes before the kettle is covered and put in the cooker. Experience will soon give skill in the use of such an apparatus. Nutritive value of meat. Meat has a high nutritive value, which in the sense of fuel-value, is due largely to the amount of fat it contains. A comparison of the composition of various kinds of meat, as given in
