The heat supply in some of these ovens is controlled by a dial hand that may be adjusted for the number of minutes for which the heat is required, at the end of which time the heat is cut off with- out further attention. A large insulated oven, modeled somewhat like an ordinar}^ gas stove, is more expensive than is a fireless cooker: but the cost of a moderate-sized range with an insulated oven is practically the same as that of both a gas range and a fireless cooker. This is a subject worthy of inves- tigation by one who is purchasing new kitchen equipment. POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED IN BUYING A FIRELESS COOKER INSULATION The more perfect the insulation, the better are the results. There are certain trade mixtures of insulat- ing materials, the secrets of which are not di\"Tilged. However, a re- liable manufacturing compan}' ma\- be trusted to offer a good product. EXTERIOR CASE Attention should be paid to the durability of construction, and to the ease and thoroughness with which the cooker may be cleaned. The outer case may be made of well-seasoned and well-finished hardwood or of metal. Wood is better than metal as a nonconductor of heat, but metal is more easilv Fig. 68. .wother type of insulated OVEN The heat is furnished by gas, the supply c£ which is controlled bv a dial hand INTERIOR LINING The material used for lining the interior should be durable and such that it may be easily and thoroughly cleaned. Seamless altmiintmi, also nickle-copper, and enamel are used for this purpose. The old models containing flannel-covered cushions were distinctly inferior to the present models that have nothing but metal exposed on the interior and are consequently nona
