Тульские самовары

Самовары-"кухни" в форме горшка были изобретены значительно раньше. До нас дошли образцы середины XVIII века, выпускали их самоварные фабрики и в XIX веке. В таких удобных "кухнях" можно было одновременно варить несколько блюд, так как внутри сосуд был разделен на три части. Еду извлекали специальным черпачком.

The samovar cooker shaped as a cauldron was invented at some earlier date. Several specimens have survived from the mid-18th century. In the 19th century samovar cookers were also produced at samovar factories. This type of cooker was a great convenience. It had three compartments and could be used to prepare three dishes at a time. The food was served with the help of a special ladle.
