Old Cooking Utensils

In the twentieth century far-reaching technological and social changes have made their mark on the kitchen and long established methods of cooking have been swept away. Items of equipment in regular use for several thousand of years have disappeared while others have changed beyond recognition with the adoption of electricity and new materials such as plastics. This book looks at the kitchen which centred on the open hearth or range and surveys the equipment used for storing and preserving, preparing, boiling, roasting and baking food.
