Cereals
General Instructions ATMEAL and cereals of all kinds are best cooked by the fireless method. A much enjoyed feature of the Fireless Cookstove is the "over-night" cooking. Cereals and food placed in the cooker at night "cook while you sleep" and are ready to be eaten at breakfast. All the health-giving substance, all the delightful flavor, is there waiting for a hungry breakfast appetite. Should the cooked cereal not be warm enough to serve, a few minutes over the flame of any stove will give it the temperature desired.
The double-boiler method is the most satisfactory way of cooking cereals in the fireless. Place one of the triplicate pails or special cereal cooker in 8-qt. pail attached to the cover provided with cooker with clamps on same. When cooked in this way boiling water is added to cereal and also water is boiling in 8-qt. kettle (about half full), but it is not necessary to cook cereal on stove. Use one radiator heated 475-500 degrees for all cereals.
