Twenty-five Cent Dinners For Families Of Six

This is a very good method of cooking fish, and of warming cold

meat and vegetables. To fry well put into your frying pan enough fat to

cover what you mean to fry, and let it get smoking hot, but do not burn

it; then put in your food, and it will not soak fat, and will generally

be done by the time it is nicely browned. To SAUTE, or HALF FRY any

article, you should begin by putting in the pan enough fat to cover the

bottom, and let it get smoking hot, but not burnt before you put in the

food. This also is a good way to warm over meat, vegetables, oatmeal, or

pudding.

A very good way to cook meat and vegetables together is to put them in

an earthen jar, cover it tightly, and cement the cover on with flour

paste; then bake for about four hours.

If you are going to use a piece of meat cold do not cut it until it

cools, and it will be more juicy. If the meat is salt let it cool in its

own pot liquor, for the same reason.
