DOES AWAY WITH SCORCHING

Bimple Culinary Apparatus That Is Guaranteed to Prevent Food From Burning. The most careful of cooks with the many different viands in the course of preparation under her eyes will slip up occasionally and relax her vigilance

for a second when some one of the articles on the stove is touched by the finger of fire. Scorched food is one of the most inexcusable offenses of the cook. A simple piece of apparatus to prevent this mishap has been devised. It consists of a metal affair resembling an inverted pieplate, generously perforated with small holes. This rests on the bottom of the kettle and effectually prevents the contents from coming into contact with the overheated bottom.
