+<p>The word "fat" is one of the most interesting in food chemistry. +It is the great energy producer.

A few months after the first package was +marketed, practically every grocer of the better class in the +United States was supplying women with the new product.</p> + +<p>This was largely because four classes of +people—housewives—chefs—doctors—dietitians—were +glad to be shown a product which at once would make for more +<i>digestible</i> foods, more <i>economical</i> foods, and better +<i>tasting</i> foods.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Cooking and History</h3> + +<img title="" alt="Cooking and History" src="images/img01.jpg" +style="float: right" width="152" height="153"> + +<p>Cooking methods have undergone a marked change during the past +few years. The nation's food is becoming more and more wholesome as +a result of different discoveries, new sources of supply, and the +intelligent weighing of values. Domestic Science is better +understood and more appreciated.</p> + +<img title="" alt="Cooking and History" src="images/img02.jpg" +style="float: left" width="200" height="243"> + +<p>People of the present century are fairer to their stomachs, +realizing that their health largely depends upon this faithful and +long-suffering servant. Digestion and disposition sound much the +same, but a good disposition often is wrecked by a poor +digestion.</p> + +<p>America has been termed a country of dyspeptics. It is being +changed to a land of healthy eaters, consequently happier +individuals. Every agent responsible for this national digestive +improvement must be gratefully recognized.</p> + +<img title="" alt="Cooking and History" src="images/img03.jpg" +style="float: left" width="164" height="204"> + +<p>It seems strange to many that there can be anything +<i>better</i> than butter for cooking, or of greater utility than +lard, and the advent of Crisco has been a shock to the older +generation, born in an age less progressive than our own, and prone +to contend that the old fashioned things are good enough.</p> + +<p>But these good folk, when convinced, are the greatest +enthusiasts. Grandmother was glad to give up the fatiguing spinning +wheel. So the modern woman is glad to stop cooking with expensive +butter, animal lard and their inadequate substitutes.</p> + +<img title="" alt="Cooking and History" src="images/img04.jpg" +style="float: right" width="218" height="144"> + +<p>And so, the nation's cook book has been hauled out and is being +revised. Upon thousands of pages, the words "lard" and "butter" +have been crossed out and the word "Crisco" written in their +place.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>A Need Anticipated</h3> + +<p>Great foresight was shown in the making of Crisco.</p> + +<p>The quality, as well as the quantity, of lard was diminishing +steadily in the face of a growing population. Prices were rising. +"The high-cost-of-living" was an oft-repeated phrase. Also, our +country was outgrowing its supply of butter. What was needed, +therefore, was not a <i>substitute</i>, but something <i>better</i> +than these fats, some product which not only would accomplish as +much in cookery, but <i>a great deal more</i>.</p> + +<p>When, therefore, Crisco was perfected, and it was shown that +here finally was an altogether <i>new</i> and <i>better</i> fat, +cookery experts were quick to show their appreciation.</p> + +<p>In reading the following pages, think of Crisco as a +<i>primary</i> cooking fat or shortening with even more +individuality (because it does greater things), than all +others.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Man's Most Important Food, Fat</h3> + +<p>No other food supplies our bodies with the <i>drive</i>, the +vigor, which fat gives. No other food has been given so little +study in proportion to its importance.</p> + +<p><a name="Page_11"></a>Here are interesting facts, yet few +housewives are acquainted with them:</p> + +<p>Fat contains more than twice the amount of energy-yielding power +or calorific value of proteids or carbohydrates. One half our +physical energy is from the fat we eat in different forms. The +excellent book, "Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent," +by Fannie Merritt Farmer, states, "In the diet of children at +least, a deficiency of fat cannot be replaced by an excess of +carbohydrates; and that fat seems to play some part in the +formation of young tissues which cannot be undertaken by <i>any +other constituent of food</i>...."</p> + +<p>The book entitled "The Chemistry of Cooking and Cleaning," by +the two authorities, Ellen H. Richards and S. Maria Elliott, states +that the diet of school children should be regulated carefully with +the fat supply in view. Girls, especially, show at times a dislike +for fat. It therefore is necessary that the fat which supplies +their growing bodies with energy should be in the purest and most +inviting form and should be one that their digestions +<i>welcome</i>, rather than repel.</p> + +<img title="" alt="Crisco" src="images/img05.jpg" style= +"float: right" width="345" height="180"> + +<p>The first step in the digestion of fat is its melting. Crisco +melts at a lower degree of heat than body temperature. Because of +its low melting point, thus allowing the digestive juices to mix +with it, and because of its vegetable origin and its purity, Crisco +is the easiest of all cooking fats to digest.</p> + +<p>When a fat smokes in frying, it "breaks down," that is, its +chemical composition is changed; part of its altered composition +becomes a non-digestible and irritating substance. The best fat for +digestion is one which does <i>not</i> decompose or break down at +frying temperature. Crisco does not break down until a degree of +heat is reached <i>above</i> the frying point. In other words, +Crisco does not break down at all in normal frying, because it is +not necessary to have it "smoking hot" for frying. No part of it, +therefore, has been transformed in cooking into an irritant. That +is one reason why the stomach welcomes Crisco and carries forward +its digestion with ease.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Working Towards an Ideal</h3> + +<img title="" alt="Years of Study" src="images/img06.jpg" style= +"float: right" width="174" height="186"> + +<p>A part of the preliminary work done in connection with the +development of Crisco, described in these pages, consisted of the +study of the older cooking fats. The objectionable <a name= +"Page_12"></a>features of each were considered. The good was +weighed against the bad. The strength and weakness of each was +determined. Thus was found what the ideal fat should possess, and +what it should <i>not</i> possess. It must have every good quality +and no bad one.</p> + +<p>After years of study, a process was discovered which made +possible the ideal fat.</p> + +<p>The process involved the changing of the composition of +vegetable food oils and the making of the richest fat or solid +<i>cream</i>.</p> + +<p>The Crisco Process at the first stage of its development gave, +at least, the basis of the ideal fat; namely, a purely +<i>vegetable</i> product, differing from all others in that +absolutely no animal fat had to be added to the vegetable oil to +produce the proper stiffness. This was but one of the many +distinctive advantages sought and found.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Not Marketed Until Perfect</h3> + +<p>It also solved the problem of eliminating certain objectionable +features of fats in general, such as rancidity, color, odor, +smoking properties when heated. These weaknesses, therefore, were +not a part of this new fat, which it would seem was the parent of +the Ideal.</p> + +<p>Then after four years of severe tests, after each weakness was +replaced with strength the Government was given this fat to analyze +and classify. The report was that it answered to none of the tests +for fats already existing.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>A Primary Fat</h3> + +<p>It was neither a butter, a "compound" nor a "substitute," but +<i>an entirely new product</i>. A <i>primary</i> fat.</p> + +<p>In 1911 it was named Crisco and placed upon the market.</p> + +<p>Today you buy this rich, wholesome cream of nutritious food oils +in sanitary tins. The "Crisco Process" alone can produce this +creamy white fat. No one else can manufacture Crisco, because no +one else holds the secret of Crisco <a name="Page_13"></a>and +because they would have no legal right to make it. Crisco is +Crisco, and nothing else.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Finally Economical</h3> + +<img title="" alt="Finally Economical" src="images/img07.jpg" +style="float: left" width="336" height="258"> + +<p>At first, it looked very much as if Crisco must be a high-priced +product. It cost its discoverers many thousands of dollars before +ever a package reached the consumer's kitchen.</p> + +<p>Crisco was not offered for sale as a <i>substitute</i>, or for +housewives to buy only to save money. The chief point emphasized +was, that Crisco was a richer, more wholesome food fat for cooking. +Naturally, therefore, it was good news to all when Crisco was found +also to be more economical.</p> + +<p>Crisco is more economical than lard in another way. It makes +richer pastry than lard, and one-fifth less can be used. +Furthermore it can be used over and over again in frying all manner +of foods, and because foods absorb so little, Crisco is in reality +more economical even than lard of <i>mediocre</i> quality. The +<i>price</i> of Crisco is lower than the average price of the best +pail lard throughout the year.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3><a name="Page_14"></a>Crisco's Manufacture</h3> + +<center><img title="" alt="Crisco" src="images/img08.jpg" width= +"722" height="314"></center> + +<img title="" alt="Cooling, Filling, Labeling" src= +"images/img09.jpg" style="float: left" width="123" height="470"> + +<p>It would be difficult to imagine surroundings more appetizing +than those in which Crisco is manufactured. It is made in a +building devoted exclusively to the manufacture of this one +product. In sparkling bright rooms, cleanly uniformed employees +make and pack Crisco.</p> + +<p>The air for this building is drawn in through an apparatus which +washes and purifies it, removing the possibility of any dust +entering.</p> + +<p>The floors are of a special tile composition; the walls are of +white glazed tile, which are washed regularly. White enamel covers +metal surfaces where nickel plating cannot be used. Sterilized +machines handle the oil and the finished product. No hand touches +Crisco until in your own kitchen the sanitary can is opened, +disclosing the smooth richness, the creamlike, appetizing +consistency of the product.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>The Banishment of That "Lardy" Taste in Foods</h3> + +<p>It was the earnest aim of the makers of Crisco to produce a +strictly <i>vegetable</i> product without adding a hard, and +consequently indigestible animal fat. There is today a pronounced +partiality from a health standpoint to a vegetable fat, and <a +name="Page_15"></a>the lardy, greasy taste of food resulting from +the use of animal fat never has been in such disfavor as during the +past few years.</p> + +<p>So Crisco is absolutely <i>all</i> vegetable. No stearine, +animal or vegetable, is added. It possesses no taste nor odor save +the delightful and characteristic aroma which identifies Crisco, +and is suggestive of its purity.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Explanation of "Hidden" Food Flavors.</h3> + +<img title="" alt="True Taste of Food" src="images/img10.jpg" +style="float: left" width="209" height="168"> + +<p>When the dainty shadings of taste are over-shadowed by a "lardy" +flavor, the <i>true</i> taste of the food itself is lost. We miss +the "hidden" or <i>natural</i> taste of the food. Crisco has a +peculiar power of bringing out the very best in food flavors. Even +the simplest foods are allowed a delicacy of flavor.</p> + +<img title="" alt="Ginger bread" src="images/img11.jpg" style= +"float: right" width="137" height="71"> + +<p>Take ginger bread for example: The real <i>ginger</i> taste is +there. The <i>molasses</i> and spice flavors are brought out.</p> + +<p>Or just plain, every-day fried potatoes; many never knew what +the real <i>potato</i> taste was before eating potatoes fried in +Crisco.</p> + +<p>Fried chicken has a newness of taste not known before.</p> + +<p>New users of Crisco should try these simple foods first and +later take up the preparation of more elaborate dishes.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Butter, Ever Popular</h3> + +<p>It is hard to imagine anything taking the place of butter upon +the dining table. For seasoning in cooking, the use of butter ever +will be largely a matter of taste. Some people have a partiality +for the "butter flavor," which after all is largely the salt mixed +with the fat. Close your eyes and eat some fresh unsalted butter; +note that it is practically tasteless.</p> + +<p><a name="Page_16"></a><img title="" alt="Butter, Ever Popular" +src="images/img12.jpg" style="float: left" width="211" height= +"123"></p> + +<p>Crisco contains richer food elements than butter. As Crisco is +richer, containing no moisture, one-fifth or one-fourth less can be +used in each recipe.</p> + +<p>Crisco always is uniform because it is a manufactured fat where +quality and purity can be controlled. It works perfectly into any +dough, making the crust or loaf even textured. It keeps sweet and +pure indefinitely in the ordinary room temperature.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Keep Your Parlor and Your Kitchen Strangers</h3> + +<p>Kitchen odors are out of place in the parlor. When frying with +Crisco, as before explained, it is not necessary to heat the fat to +<i>smoking</i> temperature, ideal frying is accomplished without +bringing Crisco to its smoking point. On the other hand, it is +necessary to heat lard "smoking <img title="" alt= +"The Lard Kitchen and The Crisco Kitchen" src="images/img13.jpg" +style="float: right" width="305" height="220"> hot" before it is of +the proper frying temperature. Remember also that, when lard smokes +and fills the house with its strong odor, certain constituents have +been changed chemically to those which irritate the sensitive +membranes of the alimentary canal.</p> + +<p>Crisco does not smoke until it reaches 455 degrees, a heat +higher than is necessary for frying. You need not wait for Crisco +to smoke. Consequently the house will not fill with smoke, nor will +there be black, burnt specks in fried foods, as often there are +when you use lard for frying.</p> + +<p>Crisco gives up its heat very quickly to the food submerged in +it and a tender, brown crust almost <i>instantly</i> forms, +allowing the inside of the potatoes, croquettes, doughnuts, etc., +to become <i>baked</i>, rather than soaked.</p> + +<center><img title="" alt= +"Fry this, Then this, Then this—in the same Crisco." src= +"images/img14.jpg" width="528" height="121"></center> + +<p>The same Crisco can be used for frying fish, onions, potatoes, +or any other food. Crisco does not take up food flavors or odors. +After frying each food, merely strain out the food particles.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3><a name="Page_17"></a>We All Eat Raw Fats</h3> + +<p>The shortening fat in pastry or baked foods, is merely +distributed throughout the dough. No chemical change occurs during +the baking process. So when you eat pie or hot biscuit, in which +animal lard is <img title="" alt="We All Eat Raw Fats" src= +"images/img15.jpg" style="float: left" width="143" height="165"> +used, <i>you eat raw animal lard</i>. The shortening used in all +baked foods therefore, should be just as pure and wholesome as if +you were eating it like butter upon bread. Because Crisco digests +with such ease, and because it is a pure vegetable fat, all those +who realize the above fact regarding pastry making are now won over +to Crisco.</p> + +<p>A hint as to Crisco's purity is shown by this simple test: Break +open a hot biscuit in which Crisco has been used. You will note a +sweet fragrance, which is most inviting.</p> + +<img title="" alt="No Distress" src="images/img16.jpg" style= +"float: right" width="143" height="163"> + +<p>A few months ago if you had told dyspeptic men and women that +they could eat pie at the evening meal and that distress would not +follow, probably they would have doubted you. Hundreds of instances +of Crisco's healthfulness have been given by people, who, at one +time have been denied such foods as pastry, cake and fried foods, +but who <i>now</i> eat these rich, yet digestible Crisco +dishes.</p> + +<p>You, or any other normally healthy individual, whose digestion +does not relish greasy foods, can eat rich pie crust. The richness +is there, but not the unpleasant after effects. Crisco digests +<i>readily</i>.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>The Importance of Giving Children Crisco Foods</h3> + +<img title="" alt="The Importance of Giving Children Crisco Foods" +src="images/img17.jpg" style="float: left" width="299" height= +"137"> + +<p>A good digestion will mean much to the youngster's health and +character. A man seldom seems to be stronger than his stomach, for +indigestion handicaps him in his accomplishment of big things.</p> + +<img title="" alt="Sweet Dreams Follow the Crisco Supper" src= +"images/img18.jpg" style="float: right" width="153" height="174"> + +<p>As more attention is given to <i>present</i> feeding, less +attention need be given to <i>future</i> doctoring. <a name= +"Page_18"></a>Equip your children with good stomachs by giving them +wholesome Crisco foods—foods which digest with ease.</p> + +<p>They may eat the rich things they enjoy and find them just as +digestible as many apparently simple foods, if Crisco be used +properly.</p> + +<p>They may eat Crisco doughnuts or pie without being chased by +nightmares. Sweet dreams follow the Crisco supper.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>The Great Variety of Crisco Foods</h3> + +<p>There are thousands of Crisco dishes. It is impossible to know +the exact number, because Crisco is used for practically every +cooking purpose. Women daily tell us of new uses they have found +for Crisco.</p> + +<p>Many women <i>begin</i> by using Crisco in simple ways, for +frying, for baking, in place of lard. Soon, however, they learn +that Crisco <i>also</i> takes the place of butter. "Butter richness +without butter expense," say the thousands of Crisco users.</p> + +<p>Tasty scalloped dishes, salad dressing, rich pastry, fine +grained cake, sauces and hundreds of other dishes, where butter +formerly was used, now are prepared with Crisco.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>"A Woman Can Throw Out More with a Teaspoon Than a Man Can +Bring Home in a Wagon"</h3> + +<img title="" alt="A Woman can Throw out More with a Teaspoon" src= +"images/img19.jpg" style="float: left" width="64" height="164"> + +<p>Kitchen expense comes by the <i>spoonful</i>. Think of the +countless spoonfuls of expensive butter used daily, where +economical Crisco would accomplish the same results at one-third +the cost.</p> + +<p>It should be remembered that one-fifth less Crisco than butter +may be used, because Crisco is <i>richer</i> than butter. The +moisture, salt and curd which butter contains to the extent of +about 20 per cent are not found in Crisco, which is <i>all</i>, +(100 per cent) shortening.</p> + +<p>Remember also that Crisco will average <i>a lower price per +pound throughout the year than the best pail lard</i>. And you can +use less Crisco than lard, which is a further saving. <a name= +"Page_19"></a></p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Brief, Interesting Facts</h3> + +<center><img title="" alt= +"Hotel kitchens and domestic scientists use Crisco" src= +"images/img20.jpg" width="599" height="166"></center> + +<p>Crisco is being used in an increasing number of the better class +hotels, clubs, restaurants, dining cars, ocean liners.</p> + +<p>Crisco has been demonstrated and explained upon the Chautauqua +platform by Domestic Science experts, these lectures being a part +of the regular course.</p> + +<img title="" alt="Hospital Dietetic Class" src="images/img21.jpg" +style="float: right" width="206" height="165"> + +<p>Domestic Science teachers recommend Crisco to their pupils and +use it in their classes and lecture demonstrations. Many High +Schools having Domestic Science departments use Crisco.</p> + +<p>Crisco has taken the place of butter and lard in a number of +hospitals, where purity and digestibility are of <i>vital</i> +importance.</p> + +<p>Crisco is Kosher. Rabbi Margolies of New York, said that the +Hebrew Race had been waiting 4,000 years for Crisco. It conforms to +the strict Dietary Laws of the Jews. It is what is known in the +Hebrew language as a "parava," or neutral fat. Crisco can be used +with both "milchig" and "fleichig" (milk and flesh) foods. Special +Kosher packages, bearing the seals of Rabbi Margolies of New York, +and Rabbi Lifsitz of Cincinnati, are sold the Jewish trade. But all +Crisco is Kosher and all of the same purity.</p> + +<center><img title="" alt="The Kosher Seal" src="images/img22.jpg" +width="508" height="204"></center> + +<img title="" alt="Campers find Crisco helpful" src= +"images/img23.jpg" style="float: right" width="245" height="237"> + +<p>Campers find Crisco helpful in many ways.

In producing a lard compound, to +the linoline, oleine and stearine of the original oil is added more +stearine (usually animal), the hard indigestible fat, in order to +bring up the hardness of the oil. The resultant compound is +indigestible and very liable to become rancid.</p> + +<hr style="WIDTH: 45%"> +<p>The following pages contain 615 recipes which have been tested +by Domestic Science Authorities in the Cooking Departments of +different colleges and other educational institutions, and by +housewives in their own kitchens.

Every +housekeeper knows how large a proportion of the housekeeping money +is swallowed up by the butcher's bill, so that with the meat item +careful selection is most necessary in order to keep the bills +within bounds.</p> + +<p>In choosing meat of any kind the eye, the nose and the touch +really are required, although it is not appetizing to see the +purchaser use more than the eye.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Beef</h3> + +<p>In choosing meat it should be remembered that without being +actually unwholesome, it varies greatly in quality, and often an +inferior joint is to be preferred from a first class beast to a +more popular cut from a second class animal. To be perfect the +animal should be five or six years old, the flesh of a close even +grain, bright red in color and well mixed with creamy white fat, +the suet being firm and a clear white. Heifer meat is smaller in +the bone and lighter in color than ox beef. Cow beef is much the +same to look at as ox beef, though being older it is both coarser +in the grain and tougher; bull beef, which is never seen however, +in a first class butcher's may be recognized by the coarseness and +dark color of the flesh, and also by a strong and almost rank +smell.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Mutton</h3> + +<p>To be in perfection, mutton should be at least four, or better +five or six years old, but sheep of this age are rarely if ever, +met with now-a-days, when they are constantly killed under two +years. To know the age of mutton, examine the breast bones; if +these are all of a white gristly color the animal was four years +old or over, while the younger it is the pinkier are the bones, +which, in a sheep of under a year, are entirely red.</p> + +<p>Good mutton should be of a clear dark red, the fat firm and +white, and not too much of it; when touched the meat should feel +crisp yet tender. If the fat is yellow and the lean flabby and +damp, it is bad. A freshly scraped wooden skewer run into the meat +along the bone will speedily enable anyone to detect staleness. For +roasting mutton scarcely can be hung too long, <a name= +"Page_26"></a>as long as it is not tainted; but for boiling it must +not be kept nearly so long or the meat will be of a bad color when +cooked.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Lamb</h3> + +<p>The freshness of lamb is comparatively easy to distinguish, as +if fresh the neck vein will be a bright blue, the knuckles stiff, +and the eyes bright and full.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Veal</h3> + +<p>Veal is at its best when the calf is from three to four months +old. The meat should be of a close firm grain, white in color and +the fat inclining to a pinkish tinge. Veal is sometimes coarser in +the grain, and redder in the flesh, not necessarily a mark of +inferiority, but denoting the fact that calf has been brought up in +the open. Like all young meat, veal turns very quickly, therefore +it never should hang more than two or three days. In choosing veal +always examine the suet under the kidney; if this be clammy and +soft, with a faint odor, the meat is not good, and always reject +any that has greenish or yellowish spots about it. The head should +be clean skinned and firm, the eyes full and clear, the kidneys +large and well covered with fat, the liver a rich dark clear color, +free from any spots or gristle, while the sweetbreads should be +firm, plump, of a delicate color, and free from strings.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Pork</h3> + +<p>The flesh of pork, when in good condition, is a delicate pinky +white, with a close fine grain; the fat, which should not be too +abundant, of a white color, very faintly tinged with pink; the skin +should be thin and elastic to the touch, and the flesh generally +cool, clean, and smooth looking; if, on the contrary, the flesh is +flabby and clammy when touched, it is not fresh.</p> + +<p>Pork, like all white meat, is quick to taint, and never should +be kept long before cooking. If you have the slightest doubt about +pork, it is best to reject it, for unlike other meat which may be +quite wholesome and usable, though not of precisely prime quality, +pork <i>must</i> be in really first class condition to be +wholesome, and therefore it is impossible to be too particular in +the choice of it. Always if possible look at the tongue, for, as in +beef, this is a very fair criterion of the condition of the animal; +a freshly scraped new wooden skewer run into the meat along the +bone is a good test of the freshness of the pork, and be careful +especially to examine the fat, for if there be little kernels in it +the pork is "measly," <a name="Page_27"></a>a very common disease +among pigs, and one particularly unwholesome to the consumer.</p> + +<p>Pigs for fresh pork should be of medium size, not over fat, and +under a year old. Pigs destined to become bacon are usually older +and larger. Sucking pigs should be small, and are best when about +three weeks old. A sucking pig should be cooked as soon as possible +after it is killed, as it taints very quickly; unless fresh, no +care in the cooking will make the crackling crisp, as it should +be.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Ham—Bacon</h3> + +<p>Good bacon has the lean of a bright pink and fine in the grain, +while the fat is white and firm. If the lean is high colored, it +probably has been over salted and is old besides, and in +consequence will be hard and salty; while if there be yellow marks +in the fat, and a curious, rather musty smell, it will have an +unpleasant taste. In choosing a ham always run a clean knife or +skewer in at the knuckle, and also at the center; if it comes out +clean and smelling sweet, the ham is good; but if out of order the +blade of the knife will be smeared and greasy looking, and have a +disagreeable, strong odor.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Venison</h3> + +<p>The condition of venison is judged chiefly by the fat, which +should be a clear creamy white color, and close in texture. Always +try venison by running a sharp knife along the haunch bone, which +is usually the first to turn; if, in taking it out, the knife has a +blackish-green look and an unpleasant odor, the meat is tainted, +and unfit for use. Venison requires to be kept a considerable time +before it is in proper condition, and needs great care in its +management. It must be examined carefully every day, and if there +is the slightest doubt, it should be washed in lukewarm milk and +water, then dried in clean cloths, and when perfectly dry, should +be covered thickly all over with ground ginger and pepper; when +required for use, dust off the pepper and ginger, and wash the meat +in a little lukewarm water, and dry it thoroughly. Venison, like +mutton, improves with age, and this can be judged by the condition +of the hoof, which in a young animal has a small, smooth cleft, +while in an old one it is deeply cut and rugged. The haunch is the +prime joint, its perfection depending on the greater or less depth +of the fat on it. The neck and shoulder also are very good. They +are used chiefly for stews or pies.</p> + +<br> +<a name="Page_28"></a> + +<h3>Hares and Rabbits</h3> + +<p>A hare when fresh killed is stiff and red; when stale, the body +is supple and the flesh in many parts black. If the hare be old the +ears will be tough and dry, and will not tear readily. Rabbits may +be judged in the same manner. In both, the claws should be smooth +and sharp. In a young hare the cleft in the lip is narrow, and the +claws are cracked readily if turned sideways.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Poultry</h3> + +<p>Poultry to be perfect, should have just reached their full +growth (the only exceptions to this are "spring chickens," +ducklings, goslings, etc., which are considered delicacies at +certain seasons); they should be plump, firm fleshed, and not over +fatted. Over-fed fowls are often a mass of greasy fat, which melts +in the cooking and spoils the flavor of the bird. A hen is at her +best just before she begins to lay; her legs should be smooth, her +comb small, bright, and soft. A young cock has the comb full, +bright colored, and smooth, the legs smooth, the spurs short, and +in both the toes should break easily when turned back, and the +weight of the birds should be great in proportion to their size. +Contrary to the practice with game, poultry never should be kept +long, as they turn easily, and are spoilt if the least high. They +also require longer cooking, in proportion to their size, than +game, and never should be underdone. Dark-legged fowls are best for +roasting, as their flesh is moister and better flavored cooked in +this way than the white-legged ones, which from their greater +daintiness of appearance are to be preferred for boiling.</p> + +<p><i>Turkeys</i> should be plump, white-fleshed, young, the legs +plump and firm, black and smooth, with (in the cock) short spurs, +the feet soft and supple; the eyes should be full and clear, the +neck long, and the wattles of a bright color. A hen turkey is best +for boiling. Like fowls, an old turkey is fit for nothing but the +stewpan or the stockpot. Turkeys require hanging for at least a +week, though they must never be "high" or "gamey."</p> + +<p><i>Geese</i> always should be chosen young, plump, and full +breasted, a white skin, a yellow smooth bill, the feet yellow and +pliable. If the feet and bill are red and hard, and the skin hairy +and coarse, the bird is old. Geese should be hung for a few days. +Ducks, like geese, should have yellow, supple feet; the breasts +full and hard, and the skin clear. Wild ducks should be fat, the +feet small, reddish, and pliable, the breast firm and heavy. If not +fresh, there will be a disagreeable smell <a name= +"Page_29"></a>when the bill is open. The male is generally the more +expensive, though the female is usually more delicate in +flavor.</p> + +<p><i>Pigeons</i> always should be young and extremely fresh, and +when so, they are plump and fat, with pliable smooth feet.</p> + +<p>NOTE—In selecting game pluck a few feathers from the under +part of the leg; if the skin is not discolored the bird is fresh. +The age may be known by placing the thumb into the beak, and +holding the bird up with the jaw apart; if it breaks it is young; +if not, it is old, and requires longer keeping before cooking to be +eatable.</p> + +<p><i>Guinea-fowl</i> are judged like poultry, but require hanging +for some time.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Fish</h3> + +<p>Fish in good condition usually is firm and elastic to the touch, +eyes bright and prominent, gills fresh and rosy. If the fish is +flabby, with sunken eyes, it either is stale or out of +condition.</p> + +<p><i>Salmon</i> should have a small head and tail, full thick +shoulders, clean silvery scales, and its flesh of a rich yellowish +pink. When quite fresh there is a creamy curd between the flakes, +which are stiff and hard; but if kept this melts, softening the +flesh and rendering it richer, but at the same time less +digestible.</p> + +<p><i>Trout</i>, in spite of the difference in size, may be judged +by the same rule as salmon. However, it will not bear keeping, +deteriorating rapidly.</p> + +<p><i>Cod</i>, unlike salmon, should have a large head and thick +shoulders; the flesh being white and clear, and separating easily +into large flakes, the skin clean and silvery. Most people consider +cod improves by being kept for a day or two and very slightly +salted.</p> + +<p><i>Herrings</i> must be absolutely fresh to be good, and when in +this state their scales shine like silver. If kept over long their +eyes become suffused with blood.</p> + +<p><i>Mackerel</i> also must be quite fresh. They never should be +bought if either out of condition or season. If fresh they are +peculiarly beautiful fish, their backs of an iridescent blue green +barred with black, and their bellies of a pearly whiteness.</p> + +<p><i>Smelts</i> should be stiff and silvery, with a delicate +perfume faintly suggestive of cucumber.</p> + +<p><a name="Page_30"></a><i>Halibut</i> is a wholesome fish. It +should be middling size, thick and of a white color.</p> + +<p><i>Lobsters, Crabs, Prawns, and Shrimps</i> are stiff, and with +the tails tightly pressed against the body. With the former, weight +is a great guide, as the heavier they are the better; but if there +be the least sign of wateriness, they should be rejected at +once.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Vegetables</h3> + +<p>Green vegetables always are at their best when cheapest and most +plentiful. Out of season they never have the same flavor, however +well they may be grown. Excepting artichokes, all summer +vegetables, as lettuce, peas, beans, and asparagus should be cooked +as soon as possible after gathering. The freshness of most +vegetables may be ascertained easily by taking a leaf or a pod +between the fingers. If fresh this will snap off short and crisp, +while if stale it will be limp and soft. It is an economy to buy +winter vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, +celery, and potatoes in large quantities, if you have storage room, +as if buried in sand and kept from the frost they may be kept a +considerable time. Onions should be kept hung up in a cool, dry +place. If allowed to sprout the flavor becomes rank and coarse.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Eggs</h3> + +<p>A mode of ascertaining the freshness of eggs is to hold them +before a lighted candle or to the light, and if the egg looks +clear, it will be tolerably good; if thick, it is stale; and if +there is a black spot attached to the shell, it is worthless. No +egg should be used for culinary purposes with the slightest taint +in it, as it will render perfectly useless those with which it has +been mixed. Eggs may be preserved, however, for a considerable time +without any further special precaution than that of keeping them in +a cool place. A very effective method of preserving eggs for winter +use is to rub a little melted Crisco over each to close the pores, +and then to pack the eggs in bran, salt or sawdust, not allowing +them to touch each other.</p> + +<center><img title="" height="213" alt="Crisco" src= +"images/img29.jpg" width="401"></center> + +<hr style="WIDTH: 65%"> +<a name="Methods_of_Cooking"></a> + +<h2><a name="Page_31"></a><i>Methods of Cooking</i></h2> + +<br> +<p>There are seven chief methods of cooking meat—roasting, +boiling, baking, stewing, frying, broiling and poaching.</p> + +<p>The first three are most suitable for joints weighing four +pounds or more, but not satisfactory for smaller pieces which are +liable to become hard and flavorless by the drying up or loss of +their juices.</p> + +<p>Of the other three methods, stewing may be applied to fairly +large and solid pieces, but it is better for smaller thin ones, +while frying and broiling can be used only for steaks, chops, and +similar cuts.</p> + +<p>Braising and steaming are combinations and modifications of +these methods.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Roasting</h3> + +<p>Roasting is one of the oldest methods of cooking on record, and +still remains the favorite form of cooking joints of meat or birds. +The success of every method of cooking depends largely upon the +correct management of the fire. In roasting, this is particularly +the case, as a clear, brisk and yet steady fire is needed. To roast +a joint it should be placed before great heat for the first ten +minutes and then allowed to cook more slowly. The great heat +hardens the outside of the meat and keeps in the juices. If allowed +to cook quickly all the time the meat is likely to be tough. The +fire should be bright and clear. The joint should be basted about +every ten minutes, as this helps to cook it, keeps it juicy and +improves the flavor. The time allowed is fifteen minutes for every +pound, twenty minutes over for beef and mutton; for veal and pork +twenty minutes for every pound and thirty minutes over.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Oven Roasting</h3> + +<p>Roasting in the oven of ordinary coal stoves or ranges is not +considered so good as roasting before an open fire; nevertheless it +may be said safely that the greatest part of <a name= +"Page_32"></a>meat roasting is done in close ovens. It appears, +from various experiments that meat roasted or baked in a close oven +loses rather less of its weight than if roasted by an open +fire.</p> + +<p>The excellence of a roast depends to a great extent upon the +amount of basting it receives.</p> + +<p>Some cooks season a joint before it is cooked, while others +season it with salt and pepper just before it is served. There is a +difference of opinion as to which is the more correct way of the +two. Meat of newly killed animals requires longer cooking than meat +which has been hung for a time.</p> + +<p>In warm weather joints require slightly less time for roasting +than in cold.</p> + +<p>Boned and rolled or stuffed meats require longer cooking than +the same joints would if neither rolled nor stuffed. The meat of +young animals and that of old ones requires different treatment. As +a rule young flesh, containing less fibrine, requires longer +cooking. White meat, such as pork, veal and lamb, always should be +well cooked and never must be served rare. The exact time and +process of roasting must be left to the good management of the +cook, who must be guided by circumstances and conditions. The +cook's business is to serve the joint as full of nourishing +qualities as possible. Though roasting is considered one of the +easiest and most simple processes of cookery, it really requires +quite as much attention to obtain perfect results as is necessary +to prepare so-called "made" dishes, the recognized test for good +cooks.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Boiling</h3> + +<p>Boiling (of fresh meat).—This is cookery by immersion in +boiling liquid, which after a few minutes is reduced to simmering. +The object of the high temperature at first is to harden the +surface albumen and so seal the pores and prevent the escape of the +juices. If continued too long, this degree of heat would tend to +toughen the joint throughout; after the first few minutes, +therefore, the heat must be reduced to about 180° F. The pan +used for boiling meat should be only just large enough to hold the +joint, and the quantity of liquid no more than is required to cover +it. For the boiling of salt meat the general rule of first +hardening the surface is not to be followed. The salting of meat +withdraws a large proportion of its juices, while at the same time +the salt hardens the fibres, and this hardness would be intensified +by extreme heat. Very salt meat sometimes is soaked in cold water +to <a name="Page_33"></a>extract some of the salt, but whether this +is done or not, the rule for boiling salt meat is to immerse it in +cold or tepid water and bring slowly to boiling point; boil for +five minutes to seal the pores and prevent any further loss of +juice, then reduce to 180° F., and maintain a uniform +temperature till the meat is cooked. Salt meat takes longer to cook +than fresh meat, and the saltness may be qualified by boiling +vegetables with the meat, turnips especially being useful for this +purpose.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Baking</h3> + +<p>The actual differences between roasting and baking are not +great, the terms being frequently interchanged. Meat loses rather +less weight when baked than when roasted, but the flavor of meat is +inferior and less developed. The heat of an oven being steadier, +baking takes somewhat less time than roasting. In a gas oven having +an open floor the current of air is not impeded, and such baking +very nearly approaches roasting, and the flavor generally is +acknowledged to be the same.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Stewing</h3> + +<p>Stewing is cooking slowly with a small quantity of liquid in a +covered vessel. The method is specially suitable for the coarser +and cheaper parts of meat, which are rendered tender without loss +of their juices. The usual plan is to make a gravy flavored and +colored to suit the stew, and after the ingredients are well +blended and cooked to lay the meat in the boiling liquid. After +about two minutes boiling, the temperature is reduced to simmering, +about 160° F., a lower temperature than that required for a +large joint of "boiled" meat. The time depends greatly on the +quality of the meat, but none will stew satisfactorily in less than +from one and a half to two hours, and the longer allowance is to be +preferred.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Broiling</h3> + +<p>Broiling, sometimes called grilling, is cooking by the direct +action of fire brought almost into contact with the meat. The outer +surface is burned or seared, the albumen hardened and the juices, +which have a tendency to escape on the side turned from the heat, +are retained in the meat by frequent turning. The fire for broiling +must be very clear, intensely hot and high in the grate. The +utensil required for broiling is a gridiron, the bars of which are +greased and heated to <a name="Page_34"></a>prevent sticking and +subsequent tearing of the meat. The gridiron is laid quite close +over the heat, so that the lower surface is dried and hardened at +once.</p> + +<p>The meat must be turned at very short intervals before the +juices have been driven from the heat to the opposite surface. If +once allowed to reach the surface, they will be thrown off in +turning and lost, the meat being correspondingly impoverished. By +constant turning the juices are kept moving backwards and forwards, +and the meat remains moist and full of flavor. Each side should be +exposed to the fire about three times, and it is not desirable to +use meat less than one inch or more than one and a half to two +inches thick for the purpose.</p> + +<p>The thinner pieces should have even greater heat applied than +the thick ones, as the longer thin ones are exposed to the fire the +more dry and tasteless they become, while the thicker pieces may be +slightly withdrawn after thoroughly hardening the surface and +cooked rather more slowly that the heat may penetrate to the +center. The frequent turning must be continued, or the juices will +reach the hardened outer fibres, soften them, and escape.</p> + +<p>If a double broiler is used the turning is managed easily, but +with a single gridiron care must be taken not to puncture the meat +by using a fork. Steak tongs are made for the purpose of lifting +and turning broiled meat, but a spoon or a spoon and knife will +answer. A single rim of fat on the chop or steak will tend to keep +the edge moist and baste the meat, but too much will cause flame to +rise in continuous jet, making the surface smoky. If there is +absolutely no fat on the piece to be broiled, morsels of finely +chopped suet may be occasionally thrown into the fire, so the +sudden spurt of flame from this source leaves a deposit of fat on +the meat which improves the flavor, and, without softening the +albumen, prevents its becoming uneatably hard and dry.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Frying</h3> + +<p>Frying may be looked on as a derivative of broiling, and passes +by easy stages, from broiling on a slightly greased metal plate, or +<i>sautéing</i> in a shallow pan in a small quantity of +Crisco, to cooking by actual immersion into a bath of hot fat. In a +house where small and delicately made dishes are in demand, and +where variety in the re-dressing of cold meats has <a name= +"Page_35"></a>to be studied, this frying in deep fat is one of the +cook's most needed accomplishments. Though exceedingly easy to do +well, it is also exceedingly easy to do badly.</p> + +<p>Deep fat frying, which means submerging the food in the fat, is +far superior to shallow or saute frying, and can be done most +economically with Crisco. Little is absorbed by the foods, and the +Crisco does not take up the odor or flavor of the food which is +fried in it. This characteristic makes it possible to use Crisco +for frying one article of food after another.</p> + +<p>Use <i>plenty</i> of Crisco for frying. The temperature of the +hot Crisco then will be but little lowered when the food is added. +There is little absorption and what is left may be used for +<i>all</i> frying, merely by straining out food particles after +each frying.</p> + +<p>Sufficient Crisco should be put into the pan to fill it about +two-thirds full. From two to three pounds for a pan eight inches in +diameter will not be too much. Into this pan or kettle a wire +"frying-basket" should fit quite loosely, the basket measuring +quite an inch less across the top than the pan.</p> + +<p>Let Crisco get hot gradually in the pan. Do not put into an +already hot container. No fat should be treated in this manner.</p> + +<br> +<a name="Do_Not_Wait_for_Crisco_to_Smoke"></a> + +<h3>Do Not Wait for Crisco to Smoke</h3> + +<br> +<p>Heat Crisco until a crumb of bread becomes a golden brown in</p> + +<p>60 seconds for raw dough mixtures, as crullers, fritters, +etc.</p> + +<p>40 seconds for cooked mixtures, as croquettes, codfish balls, +etc.</p> + +<p>20 seconds for French fried potatoes.</p> + +<p>Seconds may be counted thus: one hundred and one, one hundred +and two, etc.</p> + +<p>The fat may be tested also by dropping into it a little piece of +the article to be cooked. When it rises to the top, bubbles +vigorously and browns quickly, the fat is hot enough.</p> + +<p>When prepared, the foods must be placed in the basket, not too +many at a time or too close together, and then lowered <a name= +"Page_36"></a>gently into the fat. They generally will sink to the +bottom for a minute or two, and only float when they have begun to +brown. When a bright golden brown, take up the basket and let the +fried things drain in it, over the hot fat, for a few seconds. Then +take them out gently one by one, and lay them on a sheet of brown +or kitchen paper.</p> + +<p>The draining over the pan is one of the principal things to +attend to; if this be neglected, the fat will cling about the fried +things, making them both look and taste greasy, whereas if properly +drained in the basket to begin with, they will afterwards scarcely +mark the paper. When, as is sometimes the case, no frying basket is +used, each thing fried should be drained between a spoon and the +edge of the pan.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>To Clarify</h3> + +<p>It is economy to use three pounds in the kettle, clarifying the +fat when it is put away. To clarify Crisco, take that which has +been used for deep frying and when it has cooled, but not +solidified, strain through a double thickness of cheese cloth, +replace kettle on stove, drop several slices of potato into the +Crisco and reheat. <img title="" alt="To Clarify" src= +"images/img30.jpg" style="float: right" width="210" height="118"> +When the potatoes are golden brown, take out and pour the Crisco +back into the tin. With this little care, fish, oysters, onions, +chops, fritters, doughnuts, etc., may be fried over and over again +in the same Crisco.</p> + +<p>The dry or saute method of frying is less satisfactory, in that +it is difficult even after much practice to produce a uniformly +colored surface. A small quantity of fat only is needed, and where +the fat, i.e., the heat, ends, a crack is formed in the outer coat, +through which flavor escapes and fat enters; the appearance also is +rendered unsightly. Flat fish can be fried fairly well by this +method, or, indeed, almost any thin substance, as thin edges are +not affected in this way. For pancakes and other articles of +similar nature it is the best method. It rarely is possible to use +the fat from the dry method a second time, except for dishes of the +same kind, as the fat always is more or less flavored by the food +cooked in it. The most digestible fat for frying and the best for +results undoubtedly is Crisco.</p> + +<br> +<p><a name="Page_37"></a></p> + +<h3>Steaming</h3> + +<p>Steaming is a process very similar to boiling, for it is cooking +in the heated vapor of water. This practice as a means of cookery +is largely adopted in hotels, clubs, schools and hospitals, and +other large institutions; also frequently applied in ordinary home +cookery for particular articles of food requiring a very slow +process of cooking. An ordinary kitchen steamer, with a +close-fitting lid is generally all that is required for simple +household cookery on a small scale. The articles of food which are +to be steamed are prepared in exactly the same manner as for +boiling. Many puddings, some meats, and some vegetables are +considered better if cooked by steam, and inasmuch as the process +of cooking is a very slow one, there is no fear of the food being +destroyed by too fierce a heat, as the temperature in steaming +never reaches beyond 212° F. Fish, meat and poultry cooked by +steam are as a rule tender, full of gravy and digestible. By +steaming, watery vegetables are made drier; tough meats are +softened and made tender; while farinaceous mixtures and puddings +develop a totally different flavor when baked or fried.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Braising</h3> + +<p>Braising is a combination of roasting and stewing small joints +of meat in a shallow stewpan. It is a favorite method of cooking +with the French, and is supposed to bring out an unusually fine +flavor and aroma. The pan in which a braise is to be made always +should be lined with slices of bacon, carrot, onions and herbs, +upon which the meat is placed. It usually is moistened with stock +or stock and wine. The more delicate meats, such as sweetbreads, +fillets, fowls and turkeys sometimes are covered with buttered +paper; this is done to prevent the heat from the top of the pan +scorching or imparting too much of a roast flavor to the meats +which are to be braised. Occasional basting during the process of +this method of cooking is essential. When done, the meat is taken +up, the fat removed from the vegetables and gravy, which latter is +then reduced, strained and blended with some kind of gravy or thin +sauce.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Poaching and Marinating</h3> + +<p>Poaching is the name usually given to the process of cooking an +article by placing it for a few minutes in boiling water. +Marinating or pickling is a process with a formidable <a name= +"Page_38"></a>name with a simple meaning. To marinate simply is to +soak meat in a mixture for some hours, or even days, with the idea +of improving its flavor of softening its fibres and making it +tender. Vinegar, oil, pepper and salt are mixed together and the +meat packed in the mixture; sometimes a sliced onion and herbs are +added. The meat, of course, should be wiped first, but not +washed.</p> + +<br> + + +<h3>Cooking in Earthenware</h3> + +<p>Stone or earthenware cooking appliances are used to very great +advantage for various forms of preparing food. For the homely +<i>pot-au-feu</i> the French housewife has used fireproof +earthenware dishes for generations, and does so today. But besides +soups, various savory dishes, and all sorts of stews are cooked in +stoneware pots. Indeed, so much has this form of cookery come into +fashion that many dishes are sent to table in the pots in which +they are cooked. Cooking in stoneware has no equal where slow +cooking is aimed at, and there are many dishes which one would do +well to refrain from attempting unless cooked in this fashion. +These cooking pots are inexpensive, and certain foods taste +decidedly better if cooked in this way. For braising, pot roasting, +or stewing fruit and other articles which need to be cooked slowly +under close cover, the application of a moderate, even heat +produces far better results than if quick heat is applied. For such +cases the use of earthenware cooking pots is recommended.</p> + +<center><img title="" alt="Cooking in Earthenware" src= +"images/img31.jpg" width="506" height="282"></center> + +<a

Anything that +needs to be carved at table should be placed on a dish sufficiently +large to allow the joint to be turned without moving the dish from +its position. The dish should be placed close in front of the +carver. Such joints as beef, veal and ham should be cut very thin; +while lamb, mutton, and pork should be cut a trifle thicker.</p> + +<p><i>To carve a fowl</i>, begin by sticking the fork into the +pinion and draw it towards the leg; and then, passing the knife +underneath, take off the wing at the joint. Next slip the knife +between leg and body, to cut through the joint; and with the fork +turn leg back, and joint will give way. Then take off other wing +and leg. After legs are taken off, enter knife into the top of +breast, and cut under merrythought or wishbone so as to loosen it, +lifting it with the fork. Afterwards cut slices from both sides of +breast. Next, take off collarbones, which lie on each side of +wishbone and then separate side bones from the back. The breast and +wings are considered the most delicate parts; the back as the least +desirable, generally is left on platter.</p> + +<p><i>A turkey</i> is carved in same manner, except that the legs +and wings, being larger, are separated at lower joint. Lower part +of leg (or drumstick) being hard, tough, and stringy, usually is +allowed to remain on platter. First cut off wing, leg, and breast +from one side; then turn turkey round and cut them off from the +other.</p> + +<p><i>To carve a goose</i>, separate leg from body by putting fork +into small end of leg, pressing it close to body, and then passing +knife under, and turning leg back as you cut through joint. To take +off wing, put fork into the small end of wing, and press it closely +to body, then slip knife under and separate the joint. Next, cut +under wishbone and take it off, <a name="Page_43"></a>and cut +slices from breast. Then turn and dismember the other side. Take +off upper side bones next to wings, then two lower side bones. The +breast and legs of a goose are considered the most choice. If a +goose is old, there is no fowl so tough.</p> + +<p><i>Quails</i> merely are split down the back, as also are +pigeons, giving a half to each person.</p> + +<p><i>To carve loin of mutton,</i> a portion is cut through, +beginning at the best end. If kidney be in it, a slice should be +served as far as it will go to each portion. Care must be taken +that the bone is well jointed. The butcher chops the loin between +each vertebra. When big mutton is carved it gives a large chop, +oftentimes more than the amount desired, but a chop cannot be +divided without waste, or one portion being all the inferior end. +It is therefore a good plan to joint a loin of mutton with a small +meat saw, cutting any thickness desired. In this case the actual +bone will often have to be sawn through. The result will be more +economical, and the servings more agreeable. The loin also can be +boned entirely, stuffed or not, as preferred, the flap end folded +and fastened over the fillet portion. Then the meat can be carved +across any thickness.</p> + +<p><i>To carve leg of mutton,</i> stand joint the inner part of the +leg uppermost and cut across center to bone, towards carver, then +cut rather thick slices on either side. To serve the meat equally, +unless any special part is desired, a portion of the knuckle is +served with a slice of the thick end. The prime fat is the kernel +of fat at the thick end.</p> + +<p><i>To carve forequarter of mutton or lamb.</i> The forequarter +of mutton usually is not served whole unless the mutton be very +small. The forequarter of lamb frequently is served whole. Before +cooking it must be jointed through the chine of bone at the back, +to enable this portion being served in chops, twice across the +breastbones the entire length, and at short intervals at the edge +of the breast. Before serving it is usual to separate the shoulder +by pressing the fork in by the knuckle, then passing knife round +shoulder, crossing about center of joint, raising shoulder without +cutting too much meat off breast. Leave shoulder in position on +joint; a second dish is sent to table on which to lay it while the +other part is being carved.</p> + +<p><i>To carve rabbit or hare.</i> In either case first separate +legs and shoulders; then cut the back part across, into two parts. +<a name="Page_44"></a>This is accomplished best by inserting the +knife into joint, and raising up the back by means of the fork. The +back or fillet part is considered the best portion of a hare or +rabbit.</p> + +<p><i>To carve sirloin of beef,</i> a sirloin should be cut into +thin slices with a sharp, firm cut from end to end of the joint. At +the upper portion the cut should be clean and even; then use point +of knife to loosen slices from bones. In carving undercut, remove +superfluous fat, and cut slices from end to end in same manner as +upper portion. Be careful always to cut down straight to the bone +of a sirloin or rib of beef; by so doing you will not spoil +appearance of joint, and what remains will look tidy.</p> + +<p><i>To carve ham.</i> Ham should be cut through to the bone first +from center or near thin end. Slices must be cut thin. Always +commence cutting from upper side. The fairest way by far, so as to +serve fat and lean evenly, is to begin cutting from center of +thickest part, and to cut thin circular slices; by this means the +flavor of the ham is far better, and it will prove to be the more +economical way of serving.</p> + +<p><i>To carve ox-tongue.</i> Commence cutting from middle of +tongue; cut slices not too thin and take them from each side being +careful not to cut slices through to bottom part of tongue. Extreme +end of the tip and the lower part of tongue generally are used up +for chopping in salpicons, etc. A little of the fat should be put +on each plate. When rolled tongue is served it must be cut +horizontally into rather thin slices.</p> + +<p><i>To carve fish.</i> A silver sheer or trowel should be used +for this purpose; a steel knife applied to fish often spoils the +delicacy of its flavor. Great care must be taken to prevent +breaking the flakes, which ought to be kept as entire as possible. +Short-grained fish, such as salmon, etc., should be cut lengthwise, +not crosswise.</p> + +<center><img title="" alt="Carving" src="images/img32.jpg" width= +"336" height="185"></center> + +<hr style="WIDTH: 65%"> +<a name="Calendar"></a> + +<h2><a name="Page_45"></a>Six Hundred and Fifteen Tested +Recipes</h2> + +<h2>"Calendar of Dinners"</h2> + +<h3>by Marion Harris Neil</h3> + +<center><img title="" alt="Calendar of Dinners" src= +"images/img33.jpg" width="458" height="521"></center> + +<hr style="WIDTH: 65%"> +<a name="Page_46"></a><br> +<a name="SOUPS"></a> + +<div id="soups"> +<p>An economical housewife may supply good gravy and thick soups at +very little, if any, addition to the weekly expenses, as soups are +an excellent method of using up scraps and bones from joints and +vegetables that otherwise are wasted. Soup, if taken as the primary +course of a substantial dinner, if well flavored and warm, acts as +a stimulant in the stomach, exciting the gastric glands, and +generally enabling that organ to perform its functions more easily. +For this object the soup should be thin and not too much of it +partaken, otherwise it dilutes the digestive juices too much. If it +is to form the chief part of the meal, the soup will be more +nutritious if thickened, especially so, if pulse—i.e. peas, +beans, and lentils—is used as the thickening medium.</p> + +<p>Stock is the liquid in which meat, bones, or vegetables have +been cooked, and which contains an extract from these substances. +It is used for soups, sauces, and gravies. Fresh or cooked bones or +meat may be used. A stock pot may be kept on the stove, into which +are put any scraps of meat, bones, gristle, or vegetable; at the +end of the day it is strained, and all fat taken off. Bones and +meat for stock must be broken into small pieces. Cold water should +be used, and a little salt to extract the nutriment. The whole must +be brought slowly to the boiling point; then, the temperature +lowered, the fat and scum taken off. When wanted for clear soups +the vegetables should be cleaned, but not cut up, or with the long +cooking they may mash and thicken the soup. In hot weather it is +better to leave out the vegetables, as the stock turns sour more +quickly if vegetables have been used in its preparation. They can +be cooked separately and added when using the stock.</p> + +<p>The soup should simmer for five or six hours to extract the +gelatinous matters. If the stock is skimmed occasionally it will be +much clearer. Keep the lid on the stock pot to prevent <a name= +"Page_47"></a>loss by evaporation. The bones can be cooked again +next day for a second stock, but the vegetables must be taken out. +Care must be taken that nothing doubtful in freshness be put into +the stock pot. Meat and bones should be well wiped with a damp +cloth before using them. If onions be put in the soup unpeeled, +simply washed and the root end cut off, they will help to color the +soup. When using eggs for other dishes, if the shells be washed +before breaking them and added to the stock pot they will help to +clear the soup. For clear soups care must be taken that nothing of +a floury nature be added to the stock pot. Stock always should be +strained before cooling. Never allow it to stand in stock pot all +night. Clear gravy soup consists of the extractives, flavoring +matters, and gelatine of meat and bones.</p> + +<p>Consommé is a good stock made from beef, veal, and often +fowl, and flavored with vegetables, cooled, freed from fat. It is +clarified with whites and shells of eggs, and chopped raw lean +beef, and strained through a cloth. It should be brilliantly clear +and of a pale brown color. Any fat floating on the stock may be +removed by passing a piece of kitchen or blotting paper over the +surface. Soup left from a meal will keep better if strained from +the vegetables that have been served in it. In hot weather, stock +left over must be boiled each day, and poured into a clean basin to +prevent its turning sour.

Fish contains a fair proportion of flesh forming +and mineral matter, and the white kinds very little fat, hence +their value in a sick diet. A few fishes are rich in fat, as +salmon, mackerel, eels, and herrings; they are more satisfying as a +meal, but usually more difficult to digest, except the latter, +which is fairly easy to digest, and, being inexpensive, forms an +economical food.</p> + +<p>The digestibility will vary also with the quality of the fish +and the methods of cooking. White fish when boiled is improved by +being rubbed over with a cut lemon, or by adding a little vinegar +to the water in which it is cooked to keep it white and firm. The +fish should be put into hot, not boiling water, otherwise the +higher temperature contracts the skin too quickly, and it breaks +and looks unsightly. Salt fish may be placed in cold water, then +boiled to extract some of the salt; if the fish has been salted and +dried, it is better to soak it in cold water for about twelve hours +before cooking.</p> + +<p>Fish to be fried should be cooked in sufficient hot Crisco to +well cover it, after having been dried and covered with batter, or +with beaten egg and breadcrumbs. To egg and breadcrumb fish put a +slice into seasoned flour, turning it so that both sides may be +covered. Shake off all loose flour. Brush fish over with beaten +egg. Raise fish out of egg with the brush and a knife, drain off +egg for a second, and lay fish in crumbs. Toss these all over it, +lift out fish, shake off all loose crumbs, lay the slice on a +board, and press crumbs down, so that surface is flat. The thicker +the fish the more slowly it must be fried after the first two +minutes, or it will be raw inside when the outside is done.</p> + +<p><a name="Page_52"></a><i>To bone fish.</i> The process of boning +is known as filleting and is generally done by the fish dealer, but +when this is not the case the single rule for boning must be +strictly adhered to in order to keep the knife on the bone lifting +the flesh with the left hand while the knife slips in between the +bone and the flesh. Flat fish are divided down the middle of each +side well into the bone, and the boning is begun at either side of +the incision. Round fish are cut down the back, the flesh is laid +open from one side and the bone is removed from the other. +Occasionally round fish are boned readily, the whole fish minus the +bones being returned to its proper shape, as in anchovies, +sardines, herrings, haddocks, etc., in this case the fish would be +split down the front, not the back, and stitched together after +boning.</p> + +<p>Fish stock is made from the bones, skin and trimmings of white +fish. These are broken small and generally flavored with onion, +parsley, herbs, and seasonings. The proportion of water used is +rather larger, as the flavor is much stronger and also more easily +extracted than from meat.</p> +</div> + +<center><img title="" alt="Fish and Crisco" src="images/img47.jpg" +width="682" height="227"></center> + +<br> +<h3>Baked Halibut</h3> + +<center> +<table cellpadding="10" summary="recipe"> +<tbody> +<tr> +<td>2 lbs. halibut<br> + 1 cupful tomatoes<br> + 2 tablespoonfuls flour<br> + </td> +<td>2 tablespoonfuls Crisco<br> + 3/4 teaspoonful salt<br> + 1/8 teaspoonful pepper<br> + </td> +</tr> +</tbody> +</table> +</center> + +<p>Clean fish, season with salt and pepper, dredge with flour, +place in Criscoed baking pan, pour over tomatoes, and dot with +Crisco.

To cook anything, in +the narrower sense of the term, means to bring about changes in it +by submitting it to the action of heat, and usually of moisture +also, which will make it more fitted for food; and it is on the +nature of this action on different materials that the +<i>rationale</i> of the cook's art chiefly depends. Good cooking +can make any meat tender, and bad cooking can make any meat +tough.</p> + +<p>The substance in meat called albumen becomes tougher and more +indigestible, the higher the temperature to which it is subjected +reaches beyond a certain point. It is this effect of heat on +albumen, therefore, which has to be considered whenever the cooking +of meat is in question, and which mainly determines the right and +the wrong, whether in the making of a soup or a custard, the +roasting or boiling of a chicken or a joint, or the frying of a +cutlet or an omelet.</p> + +<p>We now will see to begin with, what are the special ways in +which it bears on meat cookery. Take a little bit of raw meat and +put it in cold water. The juice gradually soaks out of it, coloring +the water pink and leaving the meat nearly white. Now take another +bit, and pour boiling water upon it; and though no juice can be +seen escaping, the whole surface of the meat turns a whitish color +directly.</p> + +<p>Lean meat is made up of bundles of hollow fibres within which +the albuminous juices are stored. Wherever these fibres are cut +through, the juice oozes out and spreads itself over the surface of +the meat. If, as in our first little experiment, the meat is put in +cold water, or even in warm water, or exposed to a heat +insufficient to set the albumen, either in an oven or before the +fire, the albuminous juices are in the first case drawn out and +dissolved, and in the second evaporated. In either case the meat is +deprived of them. But if the <a name="Page_59"></a>meat is put into +boiling water or into a quick oven or before a hot fire, the +surface albumen is quickly set, forms a tough white coating which +effectually plugs the ends of the cut fibres, and prevents any +further escape of their contents.</p> + +<p>Here, then, we have the first principles on which meat cookery +must be conducted; viz: that if we wish to get the juices out of +the meat, as for soups and stews, the liquid in which we put it +must be cold to begin with; while if we wish, as for boiled or +roast meat, to keep them in, the meat must be subjected first of +all to the action of boiling water, a hot fire or a quick oven. The +meats of soups and stews must not be raw, and that of joints must +not be tough; and the cooking of both one and the other, however it +is begun, should be completed at just such a moderate temperature +as will set, but not harden, the albumen. That is to say, the soup +or stew must be raised to this temperature, after the meat juices +have been drawn out by a lower one, while a joint or fowl must be +lowered to it after the surface albumen has been hardened by a +higher one.</p> + +<p>All poultry or game for roasting should be dredged with flour +before and after trussing, to dry it perfectly, as otherwise it +does not crisp and brown so well. Unless poultry is to be boiled or +stewed it never should be washed or wet in any way as this renders +the flesh sodden and the skin soft. Good wiping with clean cloths +should be quite sufficient. With the exception of ducks and geese, +all poultry and game require rather a large addition of fat during +roasting, as the flesh is dry. Chickens will cook in from twenty to +thirty minutes; fowls take from thirty to sixty minutes when young +and tender, the only condition in which they are fit to roast; +turkeys take from one to two hours and even more if exceptionally +large. Game takes longer in proportion to its size than poultry, +and all birds require better and more cooking than beef or +mutton.</p> +</div> + +<center><img title="" alt="Crisco and Meats" src="images/img49.jpg" +width="636" height="131"></center> + +<br> +<h3>Beef Collops</h3> + +<center> +<table cellpadding="10" summary="recipe"> +<tbody> +<tr> +<td>1 lb. hamburg steak<br> + 1 chopped onion<br> + 2 tablespoonfuls Crisco<br> + 1 cupful water or stock<br> + 1 tablespoonful flour<br> + </td> +<td>Salt and pepper to taste<br> + 1 teaspoonful mushroom catsup or Worcestershire sauce<br> + Sippets of toast or croutons<br> + Mashed potatoes or plain boiled rice<br> + <br> + </td> +</tr> +</tbody> +</table> +</center> + +<p>Melt Crisco in saucepan, put in beef and onion and fry light +brown, then sprinkle in flour, add water or stock, catsup or sauce, +and seasonings. <a name="Page_60"></a>Cover pan and let contents +simmer very gently forty-five minutes.

This +is effected best by putting the leaves, which should be broken, not +cut with a knife, into a wire basket and drying them well, or else +putting them into a cloth lightly folded and shaking well until the +outer moisture of the leaves is well absorbed. The salad then is +ready for mixing.</p> + +<p>Any cold boiled vegetables left over from dinner are useful as +giving variety to salads, and help to make a good accompaniment to +cold meat served to luncheon. Thinly sliced cold potatoes—new +ones for choice, green peas and string beans, are especially good +for this purpose, and even Brussels sprouts, carrots, and turnips +may be used on occasion in small quantities. More substantial +salads, prepared with cold meat or fish, form appetizing luncheon +or breakfast dishes.

For +boiled puddings, care should be taken that the saucepan be kept +boiling or the water will get into the pudding and spoil it. For +pudding cloths, use materials such as linen or cheese cloth. After +using, the cloth must be thoroughly washed in plenty of water with +a little washing soda, but on no account use soap, and see that the +cloth is perfectly dry before putting it away. Many puddings are +lighter and better steamed, and then instead of the cloth only a +piece of Criscoed paper is required, twisted over the top of the +basin or mold. Very light puddings, such as custards, should be +placed in a steamer. Most of the steamed puddings mixed a little +softer, are excellent baked in a pudding dish.</p> + +<p>In steaming puddings keep them at a uniform heat all the time, +and be careful not to lift the lid off the pan for the first half +hour. All farinaceous puddings should be cooked well, as then they +are easier to digest. Cornstarch must be well cooked, from eight to +ten minutes. Mold for jellies or blanc-manges should be well rinsed +with cold water before using. Batters must be well beaten and +allowed to stand for thirty minutes or longer before cooking, +because the starch in the flour swells, and the batter will +therefore be lighter. Batter puddings should be put into a quick +oven. Puddings composed principally of milk and eggs should be very +gently cooked, as strong heat will cause them to curdle.</p> + +<p>In stewing fruit, prepare syrup first. Bring to boil, lay fruit +in, and simmer gently. Souffles should be very light and spongy. +Eggs form a large part of souffles, more whites than yolks are used +and the former are beaten to a stiff froth. All souffles should be +served quickly. Omelets are composed mainly of eggs. They can be +savory or sweet. If over-cooked an omelet will be tough. To prevent +milk running <a name="Page_78"></a>over when it comes to boil, put +spoon in saucepan.

Short or plain pastries.</p> + +<p>2. Flaky pastries.</p> + +<p>Of these, the former includes all pastes in which the fat is +mixed evenly with the dough throughout; the latter, those in which, +by one means or another, the two are arranged in alternate layers. +The short pastes are the simplest, and for this reason should be +experimented on to begin with. With pastry, a good deal always +depends on the mixing. The best way is to measure out the average +quantity of liquid, to pour about three-quarters of this gradually +into the flour, at the same time stirring this briskly with a +knife, so as to get it evenly moistened, and then add, in very +small quantities at a time, as much more water as may be needed. To +see, in this way, when the flour has been moistened enough, is +easy. By the time the first three parts of water have been put in, +most of it will have stuck together in little separate rolls; if on +pressing these they should not only cling together, but readily +collect about them whatever loose flour there may be, sufficient +moisture will have been added; but so long as the mixture, when +pressed, remains to some degree crumbly, it is a sign that a little +more water is required. When done, the paste should stick together, +but should not adhere either to the hands or to the basin. If it +does this it is too wet, and more flour must be dusted over it and +kneaded in till the surplus moisture has been absorbed. A sure sign +of its having been mixed properly is when it can be rolled into a +lump, and the basin wiped out cleanly with it, as with a cloth. To +roll out, flour the pastry board slightly, lay the dough on it, and +form it into a neat, flat oblong shape.</p> + +<p><a name="Page_89"></a>Press it out first a little with the +roller, and then roll with short, quick strokes to the thickness +required. Always roll straight forwards, neither sideways nor +obliquely. If the paste wants widening, alter its position, not the +direction of the rolling. At the beginning of each stroke, bring +the roller rather sharply down, so as to drive out the paste in +front of it, and take especial care in rolling to stop always just +short of the edges. Short pastry differs from the flaky pastries in +requiring but one rolling out.</p> + +<p>It should be handled and rolled as little as possible and when +carefully made it should not be in the least leathery or tough. Air +in this method is mixed equally throughout the paste, and when it +expands in the oven raises the paste in all directions. The +flakiness of pastry depends upon the kind and amount of shortening +used. Crisco makes tenderer crust than either lard or butter. Make +pastry in a cool atmosphere and on a cool surface. The lightness of +pastry depends largely upon the light handling in blending the +Crisco with the flour and in the rolling of the pastry upon the +board. The best results are obtained by cutting the Crisco into the +flour with a knife.</p> + +<p>If pastry contains baking powder it should be put into the oven +as quickly as possible, but if it contains a liberal supply of +Crisco without baking powder, it improves by being set aside in a +cool place a few hours. Pastry that is light, dry and flaky, is +separated more easily by the gastric fluids than that which is +heavy. The flour must be of good quality, fine and dry. All pastry +requires to be placed in a hot oven, slightly hotter for flaky than +short crust. The oven should register from 310° F. to 340° +F. The great heat quickly will cause the starch grains to burst and +absorb the fat, otherwise the pastry will be heavy.</p> + +<p>In making flaky pastry, if it has been rolled and folded +properly, and not allowed to stick to the board, nor cut so that +air can pass through layers, this air when heated in the oven +expands and raises the paste in layers or puffs. Heat of oven must +be great enough to fix the pastry in this raised condition, and as +cold air prevents this, the oven door must not be opened too soon, +or any more than necessary.

The dough is placed in a +very hot oven, the heat kills the yeast plant, the gas expands with +the heat, still raising the dough. The loaf is set in shape, and, +when finally cooked and the gas all escaped, will be found to be +light and full of tiny holes. Certain factors hasten or delay these +changes. A moist, warm medium being most favorable to the growth of +the yeast, the water should just be lukewarm; then a good flour, +containing about 8 per cent of gluten is necessary. This gluten is +the proteid in flour; when well mixed with water it forms a viscid +elastic substance, hence it is necessary to well knead dough to +make it more springy, so that when the gas is generated in it, it +will expand and take the form of a sponge, and thus prevent the gas +from escaping. The bread must be put into a very hot oven at first, +340° F., so that the yeast plant is killed quickly. If this be +not accomplished soon, the loaf may go on spreading in the oven, +and, if not sour in taste, will not be of such a good flavor.</p> + +<p>Plenty of salt in dough is said to strengthen the gluten, give a +good flavor to the bread, and keep it moist for a longer time, but +it rather retards the working of the yeast. Flour also may be made +into a light loaf by using baking powder to produce the gas. This +is a much quicker process, but the bread is not liked so +universally as when made with yeast. For, when yeast is used, other +changes take place in the dough besides the production of the gas, +that seem to give bread the characteristic flavor constantly +welcome by the palate. Good flour has a slight pure smell, free +from any moldy odor.</p> + +<p>Yeast is a fungoid growth, a microscopic plant capable of +starting a fermentation in various substances. It grows <a name= +"Page_97"></a>rapidly in a favorable medium, as when mixed with +flour and water, and kept in a warm place, resulting in setting up +fermentation. Baking powders are composed of an acid and an alkali. +Some kind of flour usually is added to keep them dry and free from +lumps. When the mixture containing the baking powder is moistened +the acid and the alkali chemically combine and alter, a gas being +generated. If the articles be placed soon in great heat, the gas is +warmed, expands, and in its endeavor to escape raises the mass. The +heat sets the mixture in this raised condition, thus the cake or +pudding is rendered light, easier to masticate and digest.</p> + +<p>Baking powders are used for two reasons. First. To supply a gas +to take the place of ingredients, as when used in making bread, +buns, etc. If flour, salt and water were mixed and baked in a large +loaf, it would be a hard, indigestible mass. If baking powder be +mixed in with similar ingredients and baked, the result would be a +light loaf, easy to masticate and digest.</p> + +<p>Second. It is used to save labor. When a richer mixture be made +it requires to be well beaten to mix in air.

The shortening is +rubbed into the flour in the same way as for short pastry; then the +dry ingredients, such as sugar, fruit, and spice, are added, and +lastly the eggs and milk. Then all are mixed well together.</p> + +<p>The second way is used for fruit, pound, and seed cakes. The +shortening and sugar are creamed together, the eggs beaten in one +at a time, and the fruit and flour stirred in lightly and quickly +at the last.</p> + +<p>In the third way the eggs and sugar are beaten together until +thick and creamy, then the flour is stirred in lightly and quickly. +This is used chiefly for sponge cakes and cakes of that +texture.</p> + +<p>For the fourth way the sugar, shortening, milk, and syrup or +molasses are melted together, then cooled slightly and added to the +dry ingredients. This method is used for ginger-breads.</p> + +<p>In the fifth way the sugar and eggs are beaten thoroughly over +boiling water, then cooled before the melted shortening and dry +ingredients are added. This method is used for Gennoise cake and +some kinds of layer cakes. Care must be taken to insure the right +consistency of cakes. The mixture should be fairly stiff. If too +moist the fruit will sink to the bottom. For rich cakes the tins +should be lined with paper, the paper coming a short distance above +the tins, so that the cake is protected as it rises. For very rich +fruit cakes, experience has shown that it is best not to grease the +paper or tin. The cake is not so liable to burn, and the paper can +be removed easily when the cake is done without injuring it. On the +other hand, if tins are lined for sponge cakes or jelly-rolls, the +paper should be greased.</p> + +<p><a name="Page_116"></a>When making cakes in which baking powder, +carbonate of soda, cream of tartar or tartaric acid are used, +almost everything depends upon the handling, which should be as +light and as little as possible. The more rapidly such cakes are +made the better they will be. Two cooks working from the same +recipe will often produce entirely different results, if one kneads +her mixture as if it were household bread, while the other handles +it with due lightness of touch. As soon as the baking powder or +other rising medium is added to the mixture, the cake should be put +into the oven as quickly as possible. Soda alone is never good in a +cake where there is shortening, unless some substance containing +acid is used along with it. Molasses is one of the substances +containing acid.</p> + +<p>The greatest care and cleanliness must be exercised in all cake +making; and accuracy in proportioning the materials to be used is +indispensable. The flour should be thoroughly dried and sifted, and +lightly stirred in. Always sift flour before measuring, then sift +it again with the baking powder to insure a thorough blending.</p> + +<p>Good cakes never can be made with indifferent materials. Eggs +are used both as an aerating agent and as one of the "wetting" +materials. It is not economy to buy cheap eggs, for such eggs are +small, weak, colorless, and often very stale. Eggs should be well +beaten, yolks and whites separately, unless other directions are +given. The yolks must be beaten to a thick cream and the whites +until they are a solid froth. Sugar tends to improve the texture of +cakes, and when cheap cakes are made, plenty should be used, +provided that the cake is not made too sweet. It should be +dissolved before being added to the fat and the flour.</p> + +<p>For best cakes, and all that are required of a light color, +fine-grained sugar should be used. With coarse-grained sugar there +is danger of producing specks which show on the cakes after baking, +unless they have been made by the method of beating up the eggs and +sugar together with a beater over hot water. This method will +dissolve the grains of sugar.</p> + +<p>Always buy the best fruits for cake making, as they are sweetest +and cleanest. Currants and sultana raisins for cakes should not be +too large, but of medium size, sweet and fleshy. Cheap dry sultanas +should not be used. Though there is no need to wash sultanas, yet +if the fruit is inclined <a name="Page_117"></a>to be very dry, it +will be better to do so than to put them in to spoil the appearance +and the flavor of the cake. Currants always should be washed, +cleaned, and dried before using. Orange, lemon, and citron peel +should be of good color and flavor. They should not be added to +cake mixture in chunks, as often is done, but should be in long +shredded pieces. Large pieces of peel are sometimes the cause of a +cake cutting badly. In making fruit cakes add the fruit before the +flour, as this will prevent it falling to the bottom.</p> + +<p>If a cake cracks open while baking, the recipe contains too much +flour. There are two kinds of thick crusts which some cakes have. +The first of these is caused by the cake being overbaked in a very +hot oven. Where this is so, the cake, if a very rich one, has a +huge crack in the top caused by the heat of the oven forming a +crust before the inside has finished aerating; then as the interior +air or gas expands, it cracks the crust to escape. This crack +spoils the appearance of the cake, and when cut it generally will +be found to be close and heavy in texture. To guard against this it +is necessary to bake them at a suitable temperature, noting that +the richer the cake the longer the fruit takes to bake.</p> + +<p>The second kind of thick crust referred to may only be on top of +the cake, and in this case may be caused by an excess of fat and +sugar being mixed together, or otherwise insufficient flour. In +this case the mixture will not bake, but only forms a kind of syrup +in the oven, and the cake sinks in the center. A cake made under +such conditions would have a thick shiny crust, and be liable to +crumble when touched. The inside of the cake would be heavy, having +more the appearance of pudding than cake.</p> + +<p>Successful cake making means constant care. In recipes in which +milk is used as one ingredient, either sweet or buttermilk may be +used but not a mixture of both. Buttermilk makes a light, spongy +cake, and sweet milk makes a cake which cuts like pound cake. <i>In +creaming shortening and sugar, when the shortening is too hard to +blend easily warm the bowl slightly, but do not heat the +shortening, as this will change both the flavor and texture of the +cake.</i> For small cakes have a quick oven, so that they set right +through, and the inside is baked by the time the outside is +browned. For all large cakes have a quick oven at first, to raise +them nicely and prevent the fruit sinking to the bottom. The oven +then should be allowed to become slower to fire the cakes +thoroughly.</p> + +<p><a name="Page_118"></a>Cake must not be hurried. Keep the oven +steady though slow, and after putting a large cake into it do not +open the door for at least twenty minutes. During baking, do not +open the door unnecessarily, or in fact do anything to jar the cake +lest the little bubbles formed by the action of the baking powder +burst, causing the gas to escape and the cake to sink. This +produces what is known as a "sad" cake, but refers probably to the +state of mind of the cook. A very light cake put into a quick oven' +rises rapidly round the sides, but leaves a hollow in the +middle.</p> + +<p>If a cake is made too light with eggs or powder and an +insufficient quantity of flour is added it will drop in the center. +Another frequent cause is the moving of cakes while in the oven +before the mixture has set properly. The same defect is produced if +the cakes are removed from the oven before being baked +sufficiently. When a cake batter curdles, the texture will not be +so even as if the curdling had not taken place. Sometimes the +mixture will curdle through the eggs being added too quickly, or if +the shortening contains too much water. This forms a syrup with the +sugar, and after a certain quantity of eggs have been added the +batter will slip and slide about, and will not unite with the other +ingredients. Weak, watery eggs are another cause of this happening; +and although this may be checked by adding a little flour at the +right time, yet the cake would be better if it were unnecessary to +add any flour until all the eggs had been beaten in, that is, if +the batter had not curdled. Before turning out a cake allow it to +remain in the tin for a few minutes. It is best to lay it on a wire +cake stand, or lay it on a sieve; but if you do not possess these, +a loosely made basket turned upside down will do. If the cake will +not turn out of the tin easily, rest it on its side, turning it +round in a couple of minutes and it may loosen, if not, pass a +knife round the edge, turn the cake over on a clean cloth, and let +it stand a few minutes.</p> + +<p>Do not place cakes in a cold place or at an open window, or the +steam will condense and make them heavy. A rich cake improves in +flavor and becomes softer with keeping (from 2 to 6 weeks, +according to quality) before cutting. Wrap, when cold, first in a +clean towel, then in paper. After a week remove the paper and put +the cake into a tin wrapped in the towel. Small cakes may be baked +in tiny molds or tins, or baked in a flat sheet, and then cut out +into squares, <a name="Page_119"></a>diamonds or rounds. Then they +can be frosted or coated with cream and decorated with cherries or +other crystallized fruits. If a real distinction is desired, they +may be placed in tiny crinkled paper cases, bought by the hundred +at a trifling cost.</p> + +<p>Cake tins should be greased with Crisco and dredged with flour, +the superfluous flour shaken out, or they can be fitted with paper +which has been greased with Crisco. When creaming Crisco and sugar, +do not grudge hard work; at this stage of manufacture the tendency +is to give insufficient work, with the result that the lightness of +the cake is impaired.</p> +</div> + +<center><img title="" alt="Cakes and Crisco" src="images/img60.jpg" +width="875" height="214"></center> + +<br> +<h3>Apple Sauce Fruit Cake without Milk</h3> + +<center> +<table cellpadding="10" summary="recipe"> +<tbody> +<tr> +<td>1 cupful brown sugar<br> + 1-1/2 cupfuls apple sauce<br> + 2-1/2 cupfuls flour<br> + 1/2 cupful Crisco<br> + 1 lb. raisins<br> + 1 teaspoonful powdered cloves<br> + </td> +<td>1 teaspoonful powdered cinnamon<br> + 1 teaspoonful grated nutmeg<br> + 2 teaspoonfuls baking soda<br> + 1/2 teaspoonful salt<br> + 3 tablespoonfuls vinegar<br> + <br> + </td> +</tr> +</tbody> +</table> +</center> + +<p>Cream Crisco and sugar thoroughly together, add apple sauce, +flour, raisins, spices, salt, and soda mixed with vinegar.

It is perhaps not +too much to say that every housekeeper ought to be able to provide +a meal without the aid of meat. We do not mean by this simply the +cooking of vegetables or the preparations of puddings, but the +presentation of dishes intended to take the place of flesh, such as +soups and broths made without meat, vegetable stews, lentil +fritters and other healthful and nutritious dishes. A vegetarian +menu is not so simple as it sounds. It requires knowledge and +discrimination on the housekeeper's part to serve a solid meal +without flesh or fowl.</p> + +<p>Now that meat is so dear it is the favorable moment to try a +vegetable diet for a time. One mistake to be avoided in this +catering is the putting down of too many dishes of a pulpy +character—food which is soft is excellent with other things, +but alone it is neither satisfying nor very nourishing, at least to +a person of strong digestion. All of them should not be white, for +instance, and the same rule holds good in other things besides +color. A nice dish for this kind of diet is a vegetable curry, in +which all the vegetables are treated like meat and turned out +crisp; all the vegetables, too, must be fresh and young for this +method of serving, so that anything like stringiness is absolutely +impossible.</p> + +<p>Crisco is entirely vegetable.</p> +</div> + +<center><img title="" alt="Vegetarian Dishes and Crisco" src= +"images/img61.jpg" width="849" height="239"></center> + +<br> +<h3>Bean Cutlets</h3> + +<center> +<table cellpadding="10" summary="recipe"> +<tbody> +<tr> +<td>2 tablespoonfuls Crisco<br> + 1 tablespoonful flour<br> + 1/2 cupful bean liquor<br> + Salt and pepper to taste<br> + </td> +<td>2 eggs<br> + 1/4 lb. dried beans<br> + A few cooked mixed vegetables<br> + Breadcrumbs<br> + </td> +</tr> +</tbody> +</table> +</center> + +<p>Soak beans in water twenty-four hours, then boil for several +hours till quite tender, drain them, preserving liquor, chop them +<a name="Page_134"></a>very fine; blend Crisco with flour in +saucepan over fire, add bean liquor, beans, salt and pepper, and +yolks of eggs; turn out on to a dish and set aside till cold.

Quite fresh eggs will sink in a strong +brine, and as they become stale they remain suspended at different +depths in the brine, until an absolutely stale egg will float. +Successful preservation depends in a great measure upon the +condition of the egg at the time of preserving. Different methods +of preserving all aim at the same thing, namely, at coating the +porous shell with some substance which will prevent the air +entering and setting up decomposition. See page 30.</p> + +<p>When used as food, eggs should be cooked at a low +temperature—about 160° F., or if in the shell at about +180° F. The time varies with the size of the egg, from two and +a half minutes for poaching a medium-sized egg to four and a half +minutes for boiling a large one.

Such thermometers are made of wood, brass, or +copper, and the degrees on them should mark not less than 350°. +A thermometer always should be gently lowered into the boiling +sugar. When not in use, it should be kept hanging on a nail or +hook. When required for candy making, place thermometer in pitcher +of warm water, so that it may rise gradually, and return it to the +warm water on removing it from the hot candy. This dissolves the +clinging candy and protects the tube from breaking. The wooden +thermometer can be used to stir with, and is very easy to keep +clean.</p> + +<p>If there is no thermometer handy it is better to make a list of +the various stages in sugar boiling, and learn how to test the +sugar. First there is the "thread" (216° F. to 218° F.) +This is reached when, on dipping the finger and thumb first into +cold water and then into the syrup, you can draw them apart, and an +unbroken thread is formed, which gradually can be drawn wider apart +on further testing as the degree of boiling is completed.</p> + +<p>The next is the "pearl" (220° F.) To see if the syrup has +reached this stage, after the sugar has dissolved let it boil for +eight to ten minutes, then dip a wooden skewer into the syrup to +obtain a drop of it. Dip the finger and thumb into cold water, then +rub the drop of syrup between them; if it feels smooth, the syrup +has reached the desired stage. The next is the "blow" (230° F.) +Dip a spoon into the sugar, shake it, and blow through the holes; +if sparks of light or bubbles be seen, you may be sure of the blow. +This is followed by the "feather" (235° F.) To test this, dip a +spoon into the boiling syrup, and when it may be blown easily from +the spoon in long shreds it has reached the right degree.</p> + +<p><a name="Page_144"></a>Next comes the "ball" (240° F. to +250° F.) Dip the finger and thumb first into cold water, and +then into the syrup, the latter then can be rolled into a soft ball +between the finger and thumb. A little longer boiling gives the +hard ball.
