ANN MARVEL tells you

OOKING without fucl sounds remarkably like another version of bricks without straw, or at- tempting to sew without thread. But this time the trick actually works to our advantage.

Not only is it possible to cook excellently on conserved heat alone, but the cooking is definite- ly ahead in many ways. The principle involves

a gradually falling temperature, so that totally enclosed foods soften gently in their own juices, without the sometimes ruthless hardening of high. temperatures in dry hent.

The Idea behind an efficient fuelles cooker is heat retention, reminiscent of the vacuum principle.

Line up the bottom and sides of the chest with brown or news paper, tacking it neatly into place. If you have only a halted quantity of hay you can economise by making the outer layers of the shavings, pleked wol, or asbestos padiding, so that the huy is utilised entirely for the Inner sections.
