_The Evening Post_, 28 March 1925:
A STOVE WHICH TELLS TIME
So much wisdom is in an oblong box set on sturdy legs! After food is prepared for cooking of any kind—baking, broiling, toasting, poaching, roasting, stewing, frying—it has only to be placed in the electrically heated well and a clock set for the particular hour when the process should be complete. The cook may then leave her kitchen far behind in fact and thought, and, lo, when the dinner is done to a turn, off goes the current. The idea resembles that of the fireless cooker. Heat is supplied not only from under the oven but also from a reversible top which browns foods appetisingly, and which when turned over becomes a frying pan or toaster.
