Aladdin oven.
On the same principle is the Aladdin oven, invented by the late Edward Atkinson of Boston, and manufactured by the Aladdin Oven Company, Brookline, Mass. It is built of iron, surrounded with air cell asbestos board, so as to maintain a cooking temperature of 400° Fahr. with little fuel or attention. Its drop door when open forms a shelf, when closed it is fastened by a brass eccentric catch, ensuring tightness; its wooden stand has an iron top to hold the oven firmly in place. This apparatus cooks a wide range of dishes admirably, retaining the natural flavors of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits as ordinary excessive temperatures never do. Mr. Atkinson wrote “The Science of Nutrition,” which sets forth the construction and uses of this oven.[20]
