CHAPTER VII. 



Of the Construction of Boilers, Stewpans, etc. Choice 

 of the Material for constructing Kitchen Utensils. 

 Objections to Copper. Iron much less unwholesome. 



Of the Attempts that have been made in different 

 Countries to cover the Surface of iron Boilers with 

 an Enamel. Of Earthen-ware glazed with Salt. 

 Stewpans and Saucepans of that Substance recom- 

 mended. Kitchen Utensils of Earthen-ware may be 

 covered and protected by an Armor of sheet Copper. 



Wedgewood's Ware unglazed would answer very 

 well for Kitchen Utensils. Directions for construct- 

 ing Stewpans and Saucepans of Copper in such a 

 Manner as to make them more durable, and more 

 easy to be kept clean. These Utensils are frequently 

 corroded and destroyed by the Operation of what has 

 been called the Galvanic Injluence. Of the Construc- 

 tion of Covers for Kitchen Boilers, Stewpans, etc. 



THE choice of the material to be used in construct- 

 ing kitchen boilers, Stewpans, etc., is a matter of so 

 much importance that I cannot pass it over in silence ; 

 though I am very sensible that all I can offer on the 

 subject will not be sufficient to remove entirely the 

 various difficulties I shall be obliged to point out.
