Boiled Fish

Place the fish in a square of cheesecloth and tie the four corners together. Have the pail of the cooker half full of boiling water and lower the fish into it, adding the juice of a half lemon and a teaspoon of salt. Boil for ten minutes and then remove to the fireless cooker for two or three hours according to the size of the piece of fish to be boiled. Drain thoroughly, remove the cloth and serve on a large platter, covering the fish with drawn butter and finely chopped parsley, and garnishing the platter with slices of lemon.
