Use Cooking Box as a Refrigerator By U. S. Department of Agriculture

The ftreless cooker ran be used to keep things cold as well as hot. heause heat cannot pas In from the outside to warm the contents any ni're than It ran pass fit to cool thorn. la this res'iect It wotk very much like a refrigerator. In fact. bth the cooking box and the Icebox are constructed on the same principle, namely that of supplying a coustant-temjerature rhamUr with nonconducting walls. W 11-constriirte.l Ire Ikuch are tn:n! with sume insulating material or dead air space between the Inner anl outer wall. and the covers and door- close In such a way as to prevent heat esn;Ing in tr out through them. Of course the tnor- often the d -ors are oened the more heat passes in ami the mure .ulckly the Ice melt an.l the temp-n-ture rises throughout all parts of the U-x. Fortunately this l less s-r than the loss of heat when a flr.-icss cooker I openeii. When the cooker Is used t keep things cool they must be dilio . to the desired temperature U fore they are put in. The more nearly heat proof the wall the longer the material keeps Its original temperature, lev cream rut In a well-made freie cooker eight to remain firm a lone as packedla salt and Ice In an ordinary freezer.
