Portable Kitchen

These heavy and expensive items are still used mainly by milliary officers and wealthy merchants, though there are many tinkers laboring to create a version for mass production. A portable kitchen is the size of a and shape of a barrel. A phlogiston-amplified steam engine built into the base heats a small oven in its midsection and the kettle underneath the cover atop it. Cooking bread or stew with the portable kitchen is as simple as adding the mixed ingredients to the appropriate compartment, using a lever to set the heat to the proper level, and watching the clock count down the minutes until food is prepared.
