For a midday dinner the cooker may often be filled in the morning, after
breakfast, with foods requiring about three or four hours to cook, such
as vegetable soup, beef stew, spinach, etc. Where a late dinner is
served, it may be filled in the morning and allowed to stand all day,
provided foods are chosen that need or will not be harmed by the long
cooking; or it may be partly filled after breakfast and other dishes be
added after lunch. Even where the entire meal is not cooked in a
fireless cooker, it may be convenient to have one or two dishes so
prepared, and the remainder served cold or cooked on the stove.
