The double boiler would seem to be a. neglected utensil for this purpose. Its contents can easily be kept up to teinperature of 200 degrees P., and. nothing will burn. Another method is • bv means of the fireless cooker. a In this a high temperature can be main - tallied for a long time without the 'application of fresh beat • .„ Still another method is by means of a closely covered baking dish. Earth- enware dishes of this kind suitable for serving foods as well as for cooking are known as casseroles. For cookieee purposes a baking dish covered wit"a a. saucer may be substituted. , The Aladdin oven has long been Popular for the purpose of preserving temperatures which are near the boil -- Ing point and yet do not reach it, It is a thoroughly insulated oven which May be heated either by a kerosene - lamp or it gasjet.
