Small tins for little cakes. One muffin-pan. One double milk-boiler, the inside boiler holding two quarts. One fish-boiler, which can also be used for hams. One deep bread-pan; a dish-pan is good, but must be kept for this. One steamer. One pudding-boiler. One cake-box. Six teaspoons. One bread-board. One rolling-pin. One meat-board. One wash-board. One lemon-squeezer. One potato-masher.

The same dresser, or a space over the sink, must hold washing-pans for meat and vegetables, dish-pans, tin measures from a gill up to one quart, saucepans, milk-boiler, &c. Below the sink, the closet for iron-ware can be placed, or, if preferred, be between sink and stove. A list in detail of every article required for a comfortably-fitted-up kitchen is given at the end of the book.

Next morning add a quart of milk and a teaspoonful of salt, and boil in a milk-boiler for two hours. Just before taking it from the fire, add a tablespoonful of butter, a teaspoonful of vanilla, and three eggs beaten with a cup of sugar. The whites may be made in a meringue. Pour into a glass dish which has had warm water standing in it, to prevent cracking, and eat cold.
