CONTROL.

No. 2

One faétor in the economy of gas cooking is the absolute control which the cook has over the stove; he can get any cooking temperature he requires by adjusting the tap.

Moreover, he is not limited to three or even four adjustments; he can get any number of gradations between no heat and full heat by delicate regulation of the tap. It is possible, with the latest types of cooker, which we can supply, to set a regulating dial that any desired temperature is automatically maintained in the oven for any length of time.
