Miss Beecher's Domestic Receipt Book / Designed as a Supplement to Her Treatise on Domestic Economy

by Catharine Esther Beecher

Fig. 28.

Fig. 28 shows a Fish Kettle, with the strainer drawn out above it. It should be large enough to use sometimes for boiling a ham. This and the sauce pans following can be used on a cooking stove, or be set on a trivet when an open fire is used.

Fig. 29.

Fig. 29 is a Preserving Kettle with a cover.

Fig. 30.

Fig. 30 is another Preserving Kettle, without a cover. The advantage of these is, that they are shallow, so that the fruit will not need to be piled. The cover preserves the flavor more perfectly. The best are of copper or bell metal. Porcelain ones are apt to crack.
