_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.

TABLE COOKING
HANDY ELECTRICAL DEVICES
There are a great many small electrical appliances now to be obtained for household use. Of these, a special group of great utility are the varieties of portable table cooking implements, by means of which the necessary cooking for one or two persons can be done in a sitting-room or actually on the table. The simplest of these is the disc stove, with either solid top or open top heating element. Frying or boiling can be done on this. The more elaborate stoves have heating elements both on top and underneath, so that boiling and roasting or grilling can take place at the same time. By means of such a stove quite an elaborate meal can be prepared. A very useful electrical device is a combined heating radiator and cooking stove. The appliance can be used equally well in either capacity. The electric chafing dish provides the means of producing savoury breakfasts or suppers with the least possible trouble. The chafing dish is particularly useful for Sunday night suppers. If all ingredients, etc., are measured out and placed on a tray in readiness a delicious meal can be prepared in a few minutes.…
