Cornish stove

[edit]

The Cornish stove (commonly known as the "slab") was found in most kitchens in west Cornwall. These stoves were supplied by a number of foundries in the district and were made of iron with brass knobs. The ironwork was kept looking fine with blacklead. The foundries included Sara, Jenkins & Barnicoat of Camborne, Tippet, Terril & Rodgers of Redruth, Luke's of St Ives, Hill's and Radmore & Dart at Truro, Roberts's at Praze, and Toy's and Williams's at Helston. The doors to the firebox were either closed to heat the oven, or opened to provide a cheerful fire. Above the oven and firebox was the hotplate and some stoves had a built-in boiler to supply hot water. Once a week the blackleading would be renewed and the brasswork would be polished.

I am not sure whether the above could usefully be included in the article.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 21:03, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

issues

[edit]

this article is rather short, missing many dishes and variations. also it makes no explicit reference to Cornish cream tea. seriously someone needs to good through this, perhaps cookbook in hand. A Guy into Books (talk) 21:38, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
