The Taste of the Fire

The well-known ‘taste of the fire,’ which is so much appreciated, is produced by actual carbonization of the surface of the food, and may be obtained by toasting, broiling or grilling. Even if no open fire be available for roasting, small birds, joints, chops, steaks, bacon, sausages, etc., can be toasted as a rule in a small Dutch or game oven in front of an ordinary gas or electric fire, and of course before a wood fire.

It is quite easy to stand a small Dutch or game oven on something that will raise it to the best position for cooking purposes. These handy little gadgets can be used in the dining-room or studio for impromptu little suppers.
