The fixtures or fittings of a kitchen depend upon the builder, and in modern houses sufficient attention is paid to the situations of the range, dresser, larder, etc, to embody convenience.

In furnishing a kitchen, there should be every thing likely to be required, but not one article more than is wanted. Unnecessary profusion creates a litter; and a deficiency too often sacrifices the perfection of a dish. The following articles, of which we give engravings, are requisite.

The Nursery Milk Warmer.

This is a very useful apparatus, on the principle of the Bain Marie, or Water Bath.

It consists of a block-tin saucepan to hold water, and a smaller one, with cover of the same material to fit within, but not to reach to the bottom of the external saucepan. This effectually prevents the common accident of burning what is intended to be boiled; for the reason that the heat cannot be increased beyond boiling or 212°; a represents the inner, and b the external saucepan; the cover seen at the top will fit both saucepans.

A Double Floored Griddle, the best iron Griddle in use. Very thick; therefore it gets hot or cold gradually, retains the heat longer, cooks better, and smokes less than ordinary griddles.
