Wisconsin farmer details steam pan for cooking potatoes
A Wisconsin farmer describes a homemade pan system built with a four by four foot base and five inch height, using sheet iron bottom two-inch maple, and pine top boards. The pan sits in an arch with a chimney draft and a steam pipe feeds a side box with a false bottom to circulate steam. It cooks twenty bushels of potatoes in thirty minutes once steam is up and proposes feeding cooked potatoes to hogs without washing or watering.
