By paring the skins and throwing away the water in which the potatoes are cooked we thereby rob this wholesome vegetable of its valuable organic salts and precious vitamins. Added water or steaming is always a mistake, for it washes out the very soluble mineral salts and delicate flavours which are essential to healthy digestion. Heat is all that is necessary to burst the starch granules, and when we make use of water it should be simply to prevent food from burning. Hot air or dry heating is the best method of cooking, such as we employ when baking cereals of bread.

The oven is made of thick blocked tin, and has a copper base to distribute the heat quickly and equally. There is no fear of burning or scorching, and there is no possible loss of food material. It cooks or bakes potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc., in their own food juices at the minimum of cost and labour. This new oven can be placed on a single gas burner, electric or oil stove, and thus ensures better meals at considerably less cost. It can be used also over a good red-hot fire, preferably where smokeless fuel is burned. Not only is it a great saving in labour, but there is no danger of cracked pots or water boiling over. &#8211; Dugald Semple \u2013 \u2018Potatoes For Health\u2019 &#8211; The Vegetarian News \u2013 November 1934.<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/potatoes-baked-jacket\/#Dugald_Semples_%E2%80%9CSimple_Potato_Oven%E2%80%9D_%E2%80%93_The_Vegetarian_News_%E2%80%93_November_1934\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-23\"  >Dugald Semple\u2019s\u00a0&#8220;Simple Potato Oven&#8221;\u00a0&#8211; The Vegetarian News \u2013 November 1934<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/potatoes-baked-jacket\/#%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6It_is_then_time_for_dinner_which_usually_consists_first_of_a_few_ounces_of_flaked_nuts_a_large_helping_of_raw_salad_baked_potatoes_in_their_skins_and_to_finish_a_few_dates_or_prunes_with_nut_cream_After_dinner_I_rest_a_little_or_read_the_papers_then_do_some_work_in_the_garden_for_most_of_the_afternoon_When_the_weather_is_fine_I_make_for_the_seashore_and_perhaps_take_some_nature_photos_On_other_days_I_go_for_long_walks_to_study_nature_or_to_visit_friends_My_last_meal_is_about_5_30pm_when_I_take_a_light_salad_meal_%E2%80%93_more_green_leaf_than_root_vegetables_%E2%80%93_with_perhaps_a_baked_potato_and_nut_butter_%E2%80%93_Dugald_Semple_%E2%80%93_from_the_1963_booklet_%E2%80%93_Heres_Harmlessness\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-24\"  >&#8230;&#8230;It is then time for dinner, which usually consists first of a few ounces of flaked nuts, a large helping of raw salad, baked potatoes in their skins, and to finish, a few dates or prunes with nut cream.

These yaki-imo-ya used to consist only of a seller pulling around their cart, which housed a wood burning stove constantly baking sweet potatoes, but recently, while the original carts have not yet gone out of style, the call can be heard coming from the loudspeakers on trucks driving through the neighborhood.\u00a0source.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/potatoes-baked-jacket\/#%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6-8\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-89\"  >&#8230;&#8230;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/potatoes-baked-jacket\/#_Fred_Spurgin\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-90\"  >\u00a0Fred Spurgin\u00a0<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/potatoes-baked-jacket\/#Potato_%E2%80%93_by_Fred_Spurgin_%E2%80%93_postcard_%E2%80%93_undated_%E2%80%93_probably_WW1_era_%E2%80%93_WW1_rationing_cartoon_propaganda\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-91\"  >Potato &#8211; by Fred Spurgin &#8211; postcard &#8211; undated &#8211; probably WW1 era &#8211; WW1 rationing cartoon propaganda.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_love_all_varieties_of_potatoes_%E2%80%93_especially_baked_sweet_potatoes\"><\/span>I love all varieties of potatoes &#8211; especially baked sweet potatoes.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Here are some baked potato memories: a favorite &#8216;street&#8217; recipe: some historical references: some related items from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/our-etymological-past\/\"  target=\"_blank\">Ernest Bell Library<\/a>: plus\u00a0a good amount of\u00a0rambling&#8230;&#8230;<\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Message_me_if_the_%E2%80%9CSimple_Potato_Oven%E2%80%9D_appeals_to_you\"><\/span>Message me if the\u00a0&#8220;Simple Potato Oven&#8221; appeals to you!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>&#8230;&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baked_Potato_History_%E2%80%93_London_%E2%80%93_United_Kingdom\"><\/span>Baked Potato History &#8211; London &#8211; United Kingdom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_baked_potato_is_sometimes_called_a_jacket_potato_in_the_United_Kingdom_The_baked_potato_has_been_popular_in_the_UK_for_many_years_In_the_mid-19th_century_jacket_potatoes_were_sold_on_the_streets_by_hawkers_during_the_autumn_and_winter_months_In_London_it_was_estimated_that_some_10_tons_of_baked_potatoes_were_sold_each_day_by_this_method\"><\/span>A baked potato is sometimes called a jacket potato in the United Kingdom.

By paring the skins and throwing away the water in which the potatoes are cooked we thereby rob this wholesome vegetable of its valuable organic salts and precious vitamins. Added water or steaming is always a mistake, for it washes out the very soluble mineral salts and delicate flavours which are essential to healthy digestion. Heat is all that is necessary to burst the starch granules, and when we make use of water it should be simply to prevent food from burning. Hot air or dry heating is the best method of cooking, such as we employ when baking cereals of bread. Those, too, who have roasted potatoes in their skins or jackets, know how delicious they taste.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_camping_I_used_to_roast_my_%E2%80%9Ctatties%E2%80%9D_in_the_ashes_of_the_camp_fire_and_from_this_way_gradually_evolved_the_idea_of_a_simple_hot-air_oven_for_home_use_The_oven_is_made_of_thick_blocked_tin_and_has_a_copper_base_to_distribute_the_heat_quickly_and_equally_There_is_no_fear_of_burning_or_scorching_and_there_is_no_possible_loss_of_food_material_It_cooks_or_bakes_potatoes_carrots_turnips_etc_in_their_own_food_juices_at_the_minimum_of_cost_and_labour_This_new_oven_can_be_placed_on_a_single_gas_burner_electric_or_oil_stove_and_thus_ensures_better_meals_at_considerably_less_cost_It_can_be_used_also_over_a_good_red-hot_fire_preferably_where_smokeless_fuel_is_burned_Not_only_is_it_a_great_saving_in_labour_but_there_is_no_danger_of_cracked_pots_or_water_boiling_over_%E2%80%93_Dugald_Semple_%E2%80%93_%E2%80%98Potatoes_For_Health_%E2%80%93_The_Vegetarian_News_%E2%80%93_November_1934\"><\/span>When camping I used to roast my \u201ctatties\u201d in the ashes of the camp fire, and from this way gradually evolved the idea of a simple hot-air oven for home use. The oven is made of thick blocked tin, and has a copper base to distribute the heat quickly and equally. There is no fear of burning or scorching, and there is no possible loss of food material. It cooks or bakes potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc., in their own food juices at the minimum of cost and labour. This new oven can be placed on a single gas burner, electric or oil stove, and thus ensures better meals at considerably less cost. It can be used also over a good red-hot fire, preferably where smokeless fuel is burned. Not only is it a great saving in labour, but there is no danger of cracked pots or water boiling over. &#8211; Dugald Semple \u2013 \u2018Potatoes For Health\u2019 &#8211; <em>The Vegetarian News<\/em> \u2013 November 1934.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DugaldPot.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17635 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DugaldPot.jpg\" alt=\"dugaldpot\" width=\"580\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DugaldPot.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DugaldPot-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dugald_Semples_%E2%80%9CSimple_Potato_Oven%E2%80%9D_%E2%80%93_The_Vegetarian_News_%E2%80%93_November_1934\"><\/span>Dugald Semple\u2019s\u00a0&#8220;Simple Potato Oven&#8221;\u00a0&#8211; The Vegetarian News \u2013 November 1934<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6It_is_then_time_for_dinner_which_usually_consists_first_of_a_few_ounces_of_flaked_nuts_a_large_helping_of_raw_salad_baked_potatoes_in_their_skins_and_to_finish_a_few_dates_or_prunes_with_nut_cream_After_dinner_I_rest_a_little_or_read_the_papers_then_do_some_work_in_the_garden_for_most_of_the_afternoon_When_the_weather_is_fine_I_make_for_the_seashore_and_perhaps_take_some_nature_photos_On_other_days_I_go_for_long_walks_to_study_nature_or_to_visit_friends_My_last_meal_is_about_5_30pm_when_I_take_a_light_salad_meal_%E2%80%93_more_green_leaf_than_root_vegetables_%E2%80%93_with_perhaps_a_baked_potato_and_nut_butter_%E2%80%93_Dugald_Semple_%E2%80%93_from_the_1963_booklet_%E2%80%93_Heres_Harmlessness\"><\/span>&#8230;&#8230;It is then time for dinner, which usually consists first of a few ounces of flaked nuts, a large helping of raw salad, baked potatoes in their skins, and to finish, a few dates or prunes with nut cream.

My last meal is about 5:30p.m., when I take a light salad meal \u2013 more green leaf than root vegetables \u2013 with perhaps a baked potato and nut butter. &#8211; Dugald Semple \u2013 from the 1963 booklet \u2013\u00a0\u00a0<em>Here\u2019s Harmlessness<\/em>.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6-3\"><\/span>&#8230;&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_2016_version_of_Dugald_Semples_%E2%80%9CSimple_Potato_Oven%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>My 2016 version of Dugald Semple&#8217;s &#8220;Simple Potato Oven&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Made_of_cast_iron\"><\/span>Made of\u00a0cast iron.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Available_in_3_sizes\"><\/span>Available in 3 sizes.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot1.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17640 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot1.jpg\" alt=\"pot1\" width=\"580\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot1-248x300.jpg 248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot2.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17641 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot2.jpg\" alt=\"pot2\" width=\"580\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot2.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot3.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17642 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot3.jpg\" alt=\"pot3\" width=\"580\" height=\"742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot3.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot3-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot4.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17643 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot4.jpg\" alt=\"pot4\" width=\"580\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot4.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot4-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot5.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17644 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot5.jpg\" alt=\"pot5\" width=\"580\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot5.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot5-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot6.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17645 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot6.jpg\" alt=\"pot6\" width=\"580\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot6.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pot6-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Dugald_Semple_information_%E2%80%93\"><\/span>More Dugald Semple information &#8211;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4>Living The Simple Life &#8211;

I would now suggest that it would be a most helpful step if individuals who favour this idea would lend their names to strengthen the appeal that will have to be made to some Public Institution for the use of a room, and if Societies and Journals would also express their agreement. Such a Memorial would be so personally suitable, in view of Mr. Bell\u2019s many and long continued services, and so valuable to the cause of humane progress in general, that it is difficult to see how any objection could be made to it: the sole question is whether the initial difficulties can be overcome.
