SELF BASTING 

 ROASTER 



MAKES A ROAST MEAN A REST 



A roast means a rest to the owner of a 

 LISK SANITARY SELF-BASTING 

 ROASTER. Put the roast in the oven, look at the clock, and rest. There's nothing 

 else to do until it's time to serve the roast. 



Because of its self-basting feature the LISK ROASTER takes away all the 

 drudgery of cooking. The juices of the meat, vaporized by the heat, collect in drops 

 on the inner roof of the ROASTER and fall back upon the meat in a continuous 

 shower of gravy. 



Incidentally the LISK ROASTER saves one-fifth of every roast — one pound in 

 five, and so pays for itself over and over again. 



The LISK SANITARY SELF-BASTING ROASTER is made in Lisk's 

 Imperial Gray Enameled Steelware. Can be used on the stove or in the oven. Cleans 

 like china. No seams, joints or corners to hold grease, therefore absolutely sanitary. 



Made in four sizes, unconditionally guaranteed and sold by all leading hardware dealers and 

 house-furnishing stores.
