absorbed by a body of water, when brought 
to the boiling point, is given up to the food 
to be cooked, when the whole is inclosed in 
a chamber well insulated by straw, asbestos, 
or other material, which prevents the heat 
from escaping to the outside of the cooker. 
It is well known that dead air space is one 
of the best heat insulators, and this is taken 
advantage of in the electric fireless cooker 
here shown by providing air chambers and 
outer shells with air spaces between the 
same for retaining the heat, the water boil- 
ing in the center, while the outer shell is 
comparatively cold. While with the ordi- 
nary fireless cooker the heat is all first ab- 
sorbed by the water heated on the stove, 
and then given off to the food during the 
night, the electric cooker applies only a

small amount of heat electrically, and con- 
tinuously, for a considerable length of time, 
the food being hot and ready for service 
immediately in the morning. With the 
ordinary fireless cooker, not only must out- 
side heat be applied to boil the water in 
the first place, but the food, while thor- 
oughly cooked, must often be reheated a 
trifle in the morning before serving. This 
is a great annoyance, and the food might 
almost as well be directly cooked at once 
by ordinary means. 
The electric vapor or steam cooker illus- 
trated in Figs. 4 and 5 consists of a heat- 
insulating slate base, on which is mounted 
a porcelain electric heating lamp support, 
with electrical connections, the novelty of

support, with a white surface for reflecting 
the rays from the heating lamp to the black- 
lined metal heat-absorbing shell which it 
supports. On the outside of the base the 
heat from the electric lamp is absorbed by
