Application Of Heat In Cooking

Success in cooking depends largely upon the regulation of the heat which is applied. No two stoves work exactly alike and it is necessary, therefore, to learn to regulate the one which is to be used. The parts of different stoves are practically the same and the principles of fire building the same.

Coal And Wood Ranges

The Parts of a Range

1. Fire box, in which the fire is built.
2. Grate, which is at the bottom of the fire box. This is often reversible so that either coal or wood may be used. The ashes pass through the grate into the ash pan.
3. Ash pan, which is below the fire box.
4. Dampers. These control the supply of air to the fire box, the passage of heated air up the chimney and the circulation of hot air around the oven.
5. Ovens for baking and for keeping food warm.
6. Top with removable covers.
7. Stovepipe to make a draft and to carry off the smoke.

Building the Fire

1. Remove the covers over the fire box.
2. Remove the ashes from the fire box.
3. Place crumpled pieces of paper and shavings in the fire box and place on top of them several pieces of pine or corncobs and then a few small sticks of wood, and, if it is to be a coal fire, a small shovelful of coal.
