For example : on` an actual" test in the Moffat Electra oven at 51b. Roast of Beef waseooked in 1 hr. 55 minutes at a total cost of a little over 2 cents. Surely this is far from being expensive !' d Then. the shrinkage in the meat after cooking was only 2 ounces. Compare this with the shrinkage when roasted by gas or coal. when on actual tests a 5 lb. Roast loses as much as 1 pound! You can readily see what you would save in a short time by Electric Cooking. The saving in meat alone is over ten times the cost of roasting it.
