...Done to a turn- a turn of the Regulo
The perfect control of the oven temperature of the Radiation "New World" Gas Cooker Is the secret of its wonderful popularity. There's no watching and no risk of fallure. Just put the whole dinner-joint, vegetables and sweets--in the oven all to- gether, set the "Regulo" oven-heat control to the re- quired figure, and
you need not open the oven door again until dinner time, when you will find everything "done to a turn."
