Concerning Cooking.
HEALTHINESS.
No.
Members of the public occasionally, ask whether, it is a fact that the gas burning inside the oven has injurious effects on food, and consequently on people eating the food cooked in such a way."
The answer is an emphatic NO! The products, of combustion of, the gas would in no case adversely affect the food, but apart from this the food itself rives off steam while it is cooking, and does not absorb anything from the surrounding air. Anyone who doubts this statement should put it to the test by cooking a milk pudding, onions and herrings in the same oven. Neither onions nor herrings will flavour the pudding.
