220 On the Construction of Kitchen 



covers of the boilers and stewpans were all made of 

 wood. The oblong quadrangular vessel (see L, Figs. 

 10 and u), which is made of copper, and has a door 

 above movable on hinges, is destined for containing 

 warm water for the use of the kitchen, and is heated by 

 the smoke from all the neighbouring closed fire-places. 



The fire-place of the roaster is seen in Fig. 9 (M) ; a 

 bird's-eye view of the top of the roaster appears in Fig. 

 10, and a vertical section of it and of its flues are faintly 

 marked by dotted lines in Fig. 1 1. 



The two large shallow stewpans (N, O, Fig. 10), verti- 

 cal sections of which and of their fire-places are faintly 

 marked by dotted lines in Fig. 11, are constructed of 

 hammered iron, and are used principally for cooking 

 steam dumplings (dampf-nvdels\ a kind of food in great 

 repute in Bavaria. 



When any thing is to be fried or broiled, a fire is 

 made on the hearth of the open chimney fire-place. 

 Under this hearth there is a small vault which serves 

 for holding the wood that is wanted for fuel ; but it 

 would have been much better if that space had been 

 occupied by two circular closed fire-places, so con- 

 structed as to be used occasionally for a frying-pan or 

 a gridiron.
