+_INTRODUCTION_
+
+
+The word "fat" is one of the most interesting in food chemistry. It
+is the great energy producer. John C. Olsen, A.M., Ph.D., in his book,
+"Pure Food," states that fats furnish half the total energy obtained
+by human beings from their food. The three _primary_, solid cooking
+fats today are:
+
+[Illustration: _Butter Lard Crisco_]
+
+There are numbers of substitutes for these, such as butterine,
+oleomargarine and "lard compounds."
+
+The following pages contain a story of unusual interest to _you_. For
+you _eat_.
+
+See Page 233
+
+
+
+
+_The Story of Crisco_
+
+The culinary world is revising its entire cook book on account of the
+advent of Crisco, a new and altogether different cooking fat.
+
+Many wonder that any product could gain the favor of cooking experts
+so quickly. 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.
+
+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 _digestible_ foods, more
+_economical_ foods, and better _tasting_ foods.
+
+
+Cooking and History
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+It seems strange to many that there can be anything _better_ 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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+A Need Anticipated
+
+Great foresight was shown in the making of Crisco.
+
+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 _substitute_, but something _better_ than these fats, some product
+which not only would accomplish as much in cookery, but _a great deal
+more_.
+
+When, therefore, Crisco was perfected, and it was shown that here
+finally was an altogether _new_ and _better_ fat, cookery experts were
+quick to show their appreciation.
+
+In reading the following pages, think of Crisco as a _primary_ cooking
+fat or shortening with even more individuality (because it does
+greater things), than all others.
+
+
+Man's Most Important Food, Fat
+
+No other food supplies our bodies with the _drive_, the vigor, which
+fat gives. No other food has been given so little study in proportion
+to its importance.
+
+Here are interesting facts, yet few housewives are acquainted with
+them:
+
+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 _any other constituent of food_...."
+
+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 _welcome_, rather than repel.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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 _not_ decompose or break down at frying temperature.
+Crisco does not break down until a degree of heat is reached _above_
+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.
+
+
+Working Towards an Ideal
+
+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 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 _not_ possess. It must have every
+good quality and no bad one.
+
+After years of study, a process was discovered which made possible the
+ideal fat.
+
+The process involved the changing of the composition of vegetable food
+oils and the making of the richest fat or solid _cream_.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The Crisco Process at the first stage of its development gave, at
+least, the basis of the ideal fat; namely, a purely _vegetable_
+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.
+
+
+Not Marketed Until Perfect
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+A Primary Fat
+
+It was neither a butter, a "compound" nor a "substitute," but _an
+entirely new product_. A _primary_ fat.
+
+In 1911 it was named Crisco and placed upon the market.
+
+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 and because they would have no legal right
+to make it. Crisco is Crisco, and nothing else.
+
+
+Finally Economical
+
+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.
+
+Crisco was not offered for sale as a _substitute_, 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.
+
+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 _mediocre_ quality. The _price_ of Crisco is lower than the
+average price of the best pail lard throughout the year.
+

+
+Crisco's Manufacture
+
+[Illustration: COOLING IN A ROOM WITH GLASS WALLS]
+
+[Illustration: FILLING BY MACHINERY]
+
+[Illustration: AUTOMATIC LABELLING]
+
+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.
+
+The air for this building is drawn in through an apparatus which
+washes and purifies it, removing the possibility of any dust entering.
+
+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.
+
+
+The Banishment of That "Lardy" Taste in Foods
+
+It was the earnest aim of the makers of Crisco to produce a
+strictly _vegetable_ 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 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.
+
+So Crisco is absolutely _all_ 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.
+
+
+Explanation of "Hidden" Food Flavors.
+
+When the dainty shadings of taste are over-shadowed by a "lardy"
+flavor, the _true_ taste of the food itself is lost. We miss the
+"hidden" or _natural_ 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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Take ginger bread for example: The real _ginger_ taste is there. The
+_molasses_ and spice flavors are brought out.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Or just plain, every-day fried potatoes; many never knew what the real
+_potato_ taste was before eating potatoes fried in Crisco.
+
+Fried chicken has a newness of taste not known before.
+
+New users of Crisco should try these simple foods first and later take
+up the preparation of more elaborate dishes.
+
+
+Butter, Ever Popular
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+Keep Your Parlor and Your Kitchen Strangers
+
+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 _smoking_
+temperature, ideal frying is accomplished without bringing Crisco to
+its smoking point. On the other hand, it is necessary to heat lard
+"smoking 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.
+
+[Illustration: The Lard Kitchen.]
+
+[Illustration: The Crisco Kitchen--No Smoke.]
+
+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.
+
+Crisco gives up its heat very quickly to the food submerged in it and
+a tender, brown crust almost _instantly_ forms, allowing the inside of
+the potatoes, croquettes, doughnuts, etc., to become _baked_, rather
+than soaked.
+
+[Illustration: Fry this, Then this, Then this--in the same Crisco.]
+
+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.
+
+
+We All Eat Raw Fats
+
+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 used, _you eat raw animal lard_. 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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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
+_now_ eat these rich, yet digestible Crisco dishes.
+
+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 _readily_.
+
+
+The Importance of Giving Children Crisco Foods
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+As more attention is given to _present_ feeding, less attention need
+be given to _future_ doctoring. Equip your children with good stomachs
+by giving them wholesome Crisco foods--foods which digest with ease.
+
+They may eat the rich things they enjoy and find them just as
+digestible as many apparently simple foods, if Crisco be used
+properly.
+
+They may eat Crisco doughnuts or pie without being chased by
+nightmares. Sweet dreams follow the Crisco supper.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+The Great Variety of Crisco Foods
+
+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.
+
+Many women _begin_ by using Crisco in simple ways, for frying, for
+baking, in place of lard. Soon, however, they learn that Crisco _also_
+takes the place of butter. "Butter richness without butter expense,"
+say the thousands of Crisco users.
+
+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.
+
+
+"A Woman Can Throw Out More with a Teaspoon Than a Man Can Bring Home
+in a Wagon"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Kitchen expense comes by the _spoonful_. Think of the countless
+spoonfuls of expensive butter used daily, where economical Crisco
+would accomplish the same results at one-third the cost.
+
+It should be remembered that one-fifth less Crisco than butter may be
+used, because Crisco is _richer_ 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 _all_, (100 per cent) shortening.
+
+Remember also that Crisco will average _a lower price per pound
+throughout the year than the best pail lard_. And you can use less
+Crisco than lard, which is a further saving. [Illustration: Hotel

+
+
+Brief, Interesting Facts
+
+Crisco is being used in an increasing number of the better class
+hotels, clubs, restaurants, dining cars, ocean liners.
+
+Crisco has been demonstrated and explained upon the Chautauqua
+platform by Domestic Science experts, these lectures being a part of
+the regular course.
+
+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.
+
+Crisco has taken the place of butter and lard in a number of
+hospitals, where purity and digestibility are of _vital_ importance.
+
+[Illustration: Hospital Dietetic Class]
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration: The Kosher Seal]
+
+Campers find Crisco helpful in many ways. Hot climates have little
+effect upon its wholesomeness.
+
+It is convenient; a handy package to pack and does not melt so quickly
+in transit. One can of Crisco can be used to fry fish, eggs, potatoes
+and to make hot biscuit, merely by straining out the food particles
+after each frying and pouring the Crisco back into the can to harden
+to proper consistency before the biscuit making.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Practically every grocer who has a good trade in Crisco, uses it in
+his own home.
+
+Crisco is sold by net weight. You pay _only_ for the Crisco--not the
+can. Find the net weight of what you have been using.
+
+Bread and cake keep fresh and moist much longer when Crisco is used.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Women have written that they use empty Crisco tins for canning
+vegetables and fruits, and as receptacles for kitchen and pantry use.
+
+
+Crisco's Manufacture Scientifically Explained
+
+To understand something of the Crisco Process, it is necessary first
+to know that there are three main constituents in all the best edible
+oils.
+
+Linoline, Oleine, Stearine.
+
+The chemical difference between these three components is solely
+in the percentage of hydrogen contained, and it is possible by the
+addition of hydrogen, to transform one component into another.
+
+Though seemingly so much alike, there is a marked difference in the
+physical properties of these components.
+
+Linoline which has the lowest percentage of hydrogen, is unstable and
+tends to turn rancid.
+
+Oleine is stable, has no tendency to turn rancid and is easily
+digested.
+
+Stearine is both hard and indigestible.
+
+The Crisco process adds enough hydrogen to change almost all the
+linoline into nourishing digestible oleine.
+
+Mark well the difference in manufacture between Crisco and lard
+compounds. 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.

+
+
+_Things to Remember in Connection with These Recipes_
+
+
+No need for Crisco to occupy valuable space in the refrigerator.
+In fact, except in most unusual summer heat, it will be of a better
+consistency outside the refrigerator. Crisco keeps sweet indefinitely,
+summer and winter, at ordinary room temperature.
+
+[Illustration: Use level measurements]
+
+In making sauces, thoroughly blend the flour and Crisco before adding
+the milk.
+
+In using melted Crisco in boiled dressing, croquettes, rolls,
+fritters, etc., be sure that the melted Crisco is cooled sufficiently
+so that the hot fat will not injure the texture of the foods.
+
+When using in place of butter, add salt in the proportion of one level
+teaspoonful to one cup of Crisco.
+
+Remember that Crisco, like butter, is susceptible to cold. It readily
+becomes hard. In creaming Crisco in winter use the same care as when
+creaming butter. Rinse pan in boiling water and have the Crisco of
+the proper creaming stiffness before using. Unlike butter, however,
+Crisco's purity is not affected by weather. It remains sweet and pure
+indefinitely without refrigeration.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+In deep frying, do not wait for Crisco to smoke. (See page 35.)
+
+
+
+
+_Remember That_--
+
+
+_When pie crust is tough:_ It is possible you have not used Crisco
+properly. Perhaps the measurements were not correct. Perhaps the water
+was too warm, or the dough was handled too much. Shortening cannot
+make pastry tough.
+
+_When fried foods absorb:_ It is because Crisco is not hot enough, or
+because you have not used enough Crisco. Use plenty and the raw foods,
+if added in small quantities, will not reduce the heat of the fat. The
+absorption in deep Crisco frying should be less than that of another
+fat.
+
+_When cake is not a success:_ It is not the fault of the Crisco.
+Either too much was used, the oven heat not perfectly controlled or
+some important ingredient was used in the wrong proportion. Crisco
+should be creamed with the sugar more thoroughly than butter, as
+Crisco contains no moisture to dissolve the sugar.
+
+_When cake or other food is not flavory:_ Salt should have been added
+to the Crisco, for Crisco contains no salt.
+
+_When there is smoke in the kitchen:_ Crisco has been burned or heated
+too high for frying. Or some may have been on the _outside_ of the pan
+or kettle.
+
+_When Crisco is too hard:_ Like butter, it is susceptible to heat and
+cold. Simply put in a warmer place.

+
+_Also, How to Choose Foods, Methods of Cooking, Cooking Time Table,
+The Art of Carving_, by MARION HARRIS NEIL.
+
+
+Before commencing to cook, look up the required recipe, read and think
+it out. Note down on a slip of paper the materials and quantities
+required. Collect all utensils and materials required before
+commencing. Success in cookery depends on careful attention to every
+detail from start to finish. Quantities, both liquid and dry, should
+be exact. Small scales and weights should form part of the kitchen
+equipment where possible, and the measuring cups cost so little that
+no one need be without them.

+
+_How to Choose Foods_
+
+Money can be spent to infinitely better advantage in the store, than
+by giving orders at the door, by phone or mail. 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.
+
+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.
+
+
+Beef
+
+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.
+
+
+Mutton
+
+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.
+
+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, 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.
+
+
+Lamb
+
+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.
+
+
+Veal
+
+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.
+
+
+Pork
+
+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.
+
+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 _must_ 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 very
+common disease among pigs, and one particularly unwholesome to the
+consumer.
+
+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.
+
+
+Ham--Bacon
+
+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.
+
+
+Venison
+
+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.
+
+
+Hares and Rabbits
+
+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.
+
+
+Poultry
+
+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.
+
+_Turkeys_ 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."
+
+_Geese_ 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 when the bill is open. The male is generally the
+more expensive, though the female is usually more delicate in flavor.
+
+_Pigeons_ always should be young and extremely fresh, and when so,
+they are plump and fat, with pliable smooth feet.
+
+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.
+
+_Guinea-fowl_ are judged like poultry, but require hanging for some
+time.
+
+
+Fish
+
+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.
+
+_Salmon_ 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.
+
+_Trout_, in spite of the difference in size, may be judged by the
+same rule as salmon. However, it will not bear keeping, deteriorating
+rapidly.
+
+_Cod_, 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.
+
+_Herrings_ 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.
+
+_Mackerel_ 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.
+
+_Smelts_ should be stiff and silvery, with a delicate perfume faintly
+suggestive of cucumber.
+
+_Halibut_ is a wholesome fish. It should be middling size, thick and
+of a white color.
+
+_Lobsters, Crabs, Prawns, and Shrimps_ 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.
+
+
+Vegetables
+
+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.
+
+
+Eggs
+
+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.

+
+
+
+_Methods of Cooking_
+
+
+There are seven chief methods of cooking meat--roasting, boiling,
+baking, stewing, frying, broiling and poaching.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Braising and steaming are combinations and modifications of these
+methods.
+
+
+Roasting
+
+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.
+
+
+Oven Roasting
+
+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 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.
+
+The excellence of a roast depends to a great extent upon the amount of
+basting it receives.
+
+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.
+
+In warm weather joints require slightly less time for roasting than in
+cold.
+
+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.
+
+
+Boiling
+
+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 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.
+
+
+Baking
+
+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.
+
+
+Stewing
+
+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.
+
+
+Broiling
+
+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
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+Frying
+
+Frying may be looked on as a derivative of broiling, and passes by
+easy stages, from broiling on a slightly greased metal plate, or
+_sautéing_ 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 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.
+
+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.
+
+Use _plenty_ 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 _all_ frying,
+merely by straining out food particles after each frying.
+
+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.
+
+Let Crisco get hot gradually in the pan. Do not put into an already
+hot container. No fat should be treated in this manner.
+
+
+
+
+Do Not Wait for Crisco to Smoke
+
+
+Heat Crisco until a crumb of bread becomes a golden brown in
+
+60 seconds for raw dough mixtures, as crullers, fritters, etc.
+
+40 seconds for cooked mixtures, as croquettes, codfish balls, etc.
+
+20 seconds for French fried potatoes.
+
+Seconds may be counted thus: one hundred and one, one hundred and two,
+etc.
+
+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.
+
+When prepared, the foods must be placed in the basket, not too many
+at a time or too close together, and then lowered 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.
+
+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.
+
+
+To Clarify
+
+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. 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.
+

+
+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.
+
+
+Steaming
+
+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.
+
+
+Braising
+
+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.
+
+
+Poaching and Marinating
+
+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 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.
+
+
+Cooking in Earthenware
+
+Stone or earthenware cooking appliances are used to very great
+advantage for various forms of preparing food. For the homely
+_pot-au-feu_ 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.

+  1 quart-flour                                      1 pound
+  10 small or 9 medium eggs                          1 pound
+
+
+
+
+All materials are measured level, i.e., by filling spoon or cup more
+than full and leveling with a case knife.
+
+To measure meal, flour, sugar and similar ingredients, sift lightly
+into the measure, then level.
+
+Standard measuring cups made of tin, aluminum or glass holding half
+a pint always should be used. Coffee and teacups vary so much that
+correct proportions can not be obtained by using them.
+
+To measure a spoonful of dry material, fill the spoon heaping, then
+level. To measure a half-spoonful, fill and level the spoon, then
+divide in half lengthways; for quarter-spoonfuls, divide the halves
+crossways.

+
+_The Art of Carving_
+
+
+Carving is an art, and one which anybody, with a knowledge of a few
+general directions, can acquire easily.
+
+A proper set of carving tools is almost indispensable, and should
+comprise: a good thin, sharp-bladed knife, a solid two or three
+pronged fork, and a pair of carving scissors. 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.
+
+_To carve a fowl_, 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.
+
+_A turkey_ 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.
+
+_To carve a goose_, 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, 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.
+
+_Quails_ merely are split down the back, as also are pigeons, giving a
+half to each person.
+
+_To carve loin of mutton,_ 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.
+
+_To carve leg of mutton,_ 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.
+
+_To carve forequarter of mutton or lamb._ 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.
+
+_To carve rabbit or hare._ In either case first separate legs and
+shoulders; then cut the back part across, into two parts. 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.
+
+_To carve sirloin of beef,_ 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.
+
+_To carve ham._ 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.
+
+_To carve ox-tongue._ 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.
+
+_To carve fish._ 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.

+
+SOUPS
+
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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 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.
+
+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. In warm
+weather, soups with milk in their composition should have a pinch of
+baking soda added.
+
+Thickenings for soup consist usually of yolks of eggs and cream beaten
+together in a basin, the boiling soup poured on slowly, stirring well
+at the same time. Soups thus thickened should not be allowed to
+boil again, otherwise they will curdle. Instead of eggs and cream,
+cornstarch and milk may be used to thicken the soup.
+
+
+
+Asparagus Soup
+
+  40 heads asparagus
+  3 tablespoonfuls flour
+  3 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1/2 cupful cream
+  1 quart white stock
+  1 bunch herbs
+  1 bay leaf
+  4 sprigs parsley
+  2 egg yolks
+  1 blade mace
+  Salt and white pepper to taste
+  1 onion
+
+Take heads off asparagus, and put aside. Cut up stalks in slices, also
+onion, put these into saucepan with Crisco, herbs, parsley, bay leaf,
+and mace, and fry gently for fifteen minutes, add flour, then stock,
+and simmer slowly for 1-1/2 hours. Rub through sieve, add cream, yolks
+of eggs, and seasonings, reheat, but take care not to boil soup. Just
+before serving throw in asparagus tops, which should be first cooked
+in a little boiling stock.
+
+
+
+Cheese Soup
+
+  4 tablespoonfuls grated cheese
+  3 quarts clear soup stock
+  1-1/2 cupfuls flour
+  4 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  2 cupfuls cream
+  2 eggs
+  Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
+  Finely grated cheese
+
+Put flour into double boiler, add gradually cream, Crisco, 4
+tablespoonfuls of grated cheese and paprika to taste, stir over fire
+till a smooth paste. Break in eggs, mix well, cook two minutes longer
+and allow to cool. Roll into balls, when they are all formed, drop
+into boiling water and cook gently five minutes. Drain and put into
+soup tureen. Pour over boiling stock and serve with dish of finely
+grated cheese.
+
+
+
+Cream of Tomato Soup
+
+  2 tablespoonfuls flour
+  1-1/2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1 cupful milk
+  2-1/2 cupfuls strained tomato juice
+  1 teaspoonful celery salt
+  Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
+  Pinch baking soda
+  1 tablespoonful tomato catsup
+
+Blend Crisco and flour together in saucepan over fire, add milk and
+bring to boiling point. Heat tomato juice, tomato catsup and add soda
+and seasonings. Just before serving add Crisco mixture to tomato juice
+and stir till boiling. Serve hot. Another method, is to cook 1 quart
+can of tomatoes with 1 quart of water twenty minutes, then rub through
+sieve. Blend 2 tablespoonfuls Crisco with 2 tablespoonfuls flour, add
+1 tablespoonful sugar, salt, pepper, and red pepper to taste, and 1
+tablespoonful tomato catsup. Add pinch of baking soda to tomatoes,
+then add gradually to Crisco mixture. Just bring to boiling point and
+serve with tablespoonful whipped cream on top of each plate.
+
+
+
+Fish Soup
+
+  1 lb. cod, or other white fish
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1 quart white stock, or half milk and half water
+  1 small carrot
+  1 small onion
+  1 stalk celery
+  3 parsley sprigs
+  1 blade mace
+  2 egg yolks
+  1/2 cupful cream
+  1 lemon
+  2 tablespoonfuls flour
+  1 teaspoonful chopped parsley
+
+  Dry toast
+
+Wash and dry fish and cut into small pieces. Put into saucepan with
+stock, vegetables cut in small pieces, parsley and mace. Let these
+simmer for half hour, then strain off liquid. Melt Crisco in pan, stir
+in flour, then add fish liquor and stir till it boils. Draw it to the
+side of fire and let cool slightly. Beat yolks of eggs with cream,
+and, when soup has cooled, strain them in. Reheat soup without boiling
+it, to cook eggs. Season, and add few drops lemon juice and chopped
+parsley. Serve with small pieces of dry toast.
+
+
+
+Lentil Soup
+
+  1 cupful lentils
+  2 cupfuls milk
+  3 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  3 pints stock or water
+  1 onion
+  1 carrot
+  2 stalks celery
+  1 tablespoonful flour
+  1 bay leaf
+  Salt and pepper to taste
+  1/4 cupful cream
+  Croutons
+
+Wash lentils; soak twenty-four hours; drain well. Cut onion, carrot
+and celery into small pieces, then put them into a saucepan with
+Crisco, cover, and cook gently for fifteen minutes. Add stock and
+simmer 2 hours, then rub through sieve. Return to pan, add milk,
+seasonings, and bring to boil. Moisten flour with 1/2 cupful milk or
+stock, add it to soup and simmer five minutes. Season to taste and add
+cream. Serve with croutons of fried or toasted bread.
+
+Lentils are a small leguminous seed, not so generally known as beans,
+but an excellent nitrogenous food, containing about 25 per cent.
+protein, more than 50 per cent. starch, with over 2 per cent. fat.
+They are not used as much as they ought to be.
+
+Croutons are made by cutting bread into tiny cubes and browning
+through and through in hot oven or putting into a frying pan with 2
+tablespoonfuls Crisco and browning well. If latter is used great care
+must be used as the croutons will brown easily.
+
+
+
+Lobster Bisque
+
+  1 can lobster
+  1 cupful breadcrumbs
+  1 quart milk
+  1 quart water
+  1 tablespoonful flour
+  1/4 cupful Crisco
+  Salt, pepper, red pepper, and grated nutmeg to taste
+  Squares fried bread
+  Thin lemon slices
+
+Open a can of lobster of good quality, take out best pieces and cut
+into small squares without tearing; put them aside. Place remains of
+lobster in mortar or basin, and pound quite smooth with Crisco. Soak
+bread in water, adding flour, and seasonings, and put all on fire in
+soup pot with pounded lobster and Crisco; stir till it boils, and boil
+for fifteen minutes; then pass it through sieve, add milk and pieces
+of lobster, and return to the pot till it boils up. Serve with small
+squares of fried bread, and send thin slices of lemon to table with
+it. This is an excellent soup, and can of course be made with fresh
+lobster.
+
+
+
+Norfolk Puree
+
+  1/2 cupful barley, pearl
+  1 quart water
+  3 pints white stock
+  1/2 cupful cream
+  1 yolk of egg
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  4 tablespoonfuls cooked carrot balls
+  4 tablespoonfuls cooked peas
+  Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
+  Diced toast or fried bread
+
+Put barley into saucepan of cold water, bring to boil, let boil five
+minutes, then drain off water; this removes the slightly bitter taste.
+Now put barley into saucepan with Crisco and water, let these boil
+gently until barley is tender, drain, and rub through sieve. Add stock
+to this puree and let simmer ten minutes. Beat yolk of egg with cream
+and when soup has cooled slightly, strain them in. Stir soup over fire
+a few minutes to reheat; but be careful that it does not boil, or it
+will curdle. Season carefully, add carrot balls and peas, which should
+first be heated in a little stock or water. Serve with dice of toast
+or fried bread. If you do not possess a round vegetable cutter, cut
+the carrot into small dice. This is a particularly nourishing soup. If
+you prefer a slightly cheaper variety, use milk instead of cream, and
+if you have no white stock use milk and water in equal proportions
+instead, and cook a carrot, turnip and onion in milk and water for
+twenty or thirty minutes.
+
+
+
+Soup Verte
+
+  4 tablespoonfuls flour
+  3 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  2 quarts stock
+  1 bunch parsley
+  1 lb. spinach
+  1 bunch parsley
+  1 teaspoonful sugar
+  2 egg yolks
+  1 lemon
+  Salt and pepper to taste
+
+Put stock into saucepan; add spinach and parsley, picked and
+thoroughly washed; let all boil twenty minutes; strain, rubbing puree
+through sieve. Return it all to saucepan, add Crisco and flour mixed
+together with cupful of water, sugar and strained juice of a quarter
+of lemon. Let boil five minutes. Beat yolks of eggs with 1/4 cupful
+water, add them gradually to soup off fire, and stir near fire until
+cooked. Soup must not boil after yolks are added. Season with salt and
+pepper and serve.
+
+
+
+Thick Rice Soup
+
+  2 pints water or stock
+  Salt and pepper to taste
+  2 small onions
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1 cupful rice
+  1 cupful canned tomatoes, or 4 fresh ones
+
+Wash and drain rice. Heat Crisco in saucepan, add rice and stir
+constantly until a golden brown. Now add water or stock, onions and
+tomatoes cut in small pieces, and seasonings. Cook slowly for one
+hour.

+
+
+FISH
+
+
+Fish, though not quite so nutritious or so stimulating as butcher's
+meat, is an excellent article of diet, as it is light and easy of
+digestion and well suited to delicate persons and those following
+sedentary occupations, who generally do not take exercise in the fresh
+air. 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+_To bone fish._ 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.
+
+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.
+
+
+
+Baked Halibut
+
+  2 lbs. halibut
+  1 cupful tomatoes
+  2 tablespoonfuls flour
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  3/4 teaspoonful salt
+  1/8 teaspoonful pepper
+
+Clean fish, season with salt and pepper, dredge with flour, place in
+Criscoed baking pan, pour over tomatoes, and dot with Crisco. Bake in
+a moderate oven, basting often.
+
+
+
+Baked Salmon with Colbert Sauce
+
+  1 slice salmon, 1-1/2 lbs. in weight
+  4 tablespoonfuls melted Crisco
+  1 tablespoonful chopped parsley
+  1 tablespoonful tarragon vinegar
+  1 chopped shallot, gherkin and anchovy
+  Salt, pepper, and red pepper to taste and water

+  2 tablespoonfuls flour
+  1 teaspoonful lemon juice
+  3 anchovies
+  1 tablespoonful chopped parsley
+  Pepper to taste
+  2 cupfuls fish stock, or milk and water
+
+_For fish._ Mix Crisco with shallot, gherkin, anchovy, and seasonings,
+lay salmon in this mixture and let it "marinade," as it is called, for
+one hour. At the end of that time lift it out; do not shake off any
+ingredients that are sticking to it. Now lay it in a well Criscoed
+fireproof dish, cover it with a greased paper, and bake in moderate
+oven for thirty minutes.
+
+_For sauce._ Melt Crisco in small saucepan, stir in flour, add fish
+stock and stir until it boils and thickens. Rub anchovies through fine
+sieve, and add with seasonings. Serve in hot tureen with fish.
+
+
+
+Baked Shad
+
+  1 shad weighing 4 lbs.
+  1/4 lb. mushrooms
+  1/2 cupful Crisco
+  2 tablespoonfuls chopped parsley
+  2 tablespoonfuls chopped chives
+  1 cupful breadcrumbs
+  1 egg
+  Salt and white pepper
+  Salt pork
+  1 cupful cream
+  1 teaspoonful cornstarch
+
+Clean, wipe and dry the shad. Melt Crisco, add breadcrumbs, chopped
+mushrooms, parsley, chives, egg well beaten, salt and pepper. Stuff
+fish with this forcemeat, then lay it in a greased pan, put thin
+strips of salt pork over it and bake in hot oven for forty minutes.
+Lay the fish on a hot platter. Pour cream into baking pan, add
+cornstarch and stir till boiling. Serve with the fish.
+
+
+
+Cassolettes of Fish
+
+  1/2 lb. cold cooked fish or shrimps
+  1/2 cupful milk
+  4 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1/2 cupful water
+  2 tablespoonfuls cream 2 eggs
+  4 tablespoonfuls flour
+  Salt, pepper, and red pepper to taste
+  1 teaspoonful lemon juice
+  2 lbs. cooked potatoes
+
+Rub potatoes through a sieve, add little salt and pepper, 1 egg well
+beaten, and 2 tablespoonfuls melted Crisco and mix well. Roll out
+on floured baking board to 1-1/4 inches in thickness. Cut into small
+rounds, brush over with remaining egg well beaten, toss in fine
+breadcrumbs, mark the center slightly with a smaller round cutter. Fry
+to golden color in hot Crisco. Remove lids, carefully remove bulk of
+potatoes from inside, fill with mixture, replace lids, and serve hot.
+For mixture, blend 2 tablespoonfuls of the Crisco with flour in a
+saucepan over the fire, add milk, water and seasonings and cook for
+a few minutes. Put in flaked fish and make hot. Add cream last. 1/2
+teaspoonful of anchovy extract may be added if liked.
+
+Sufficient for ten cassolettes.
+
+
+
+Dressed Crab
+
+  1 good sized heavy crab
+  6 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  2 tablespoonfuls breadcrumbs
+  3 tablespoonfuls olive oil
+  2 tablespoonfuls vinegar
+  1 tablespoonful chopped parsley
+  Crisp lettuce leaves
+  Salt and pepper to taste
+
+If possible choose a crab with large claws. Boil crab in boiling
+salted water for thirty minutes, take up and break off large and small
+claws. Lay crab on its back, pull back the flap under its body, pull
+it right out and commence to remove flesh from shell. Take care that
+the little bag near head, usually full of sand, is taken out. Throw
+away all bone and finny pieces. The flesh is of two kinds, some firm
+and white, rest soft and dark. Separate former into little shreds with
+a fork, also the white meat from claws, which must be cracked in order
+to obtain it. Mix dark soft substance with crumbs, add oil, vinegar,
+and seasonings to taste. Toss shredded white meat also in a little
+seasoning, but keep the two kinds separate. When shell is empty
+wash and dry well. Fill shell with the two mixtures, arranging them
+alternately, so that they appear in dark and white stripes. Have it
+heaped a little higher in center. Decorate meat with lines of finely
+chopped parsley, and force the Crisco round edge with a forcing bag
+and tube. Place crab on some crisp lettuce leaves. Arrange some of the
+small claws in a circle round shell.
+
+
+
+Curried Cod
+
+  2 lbs. cod
+  1/4 cupful Crisco
+  2 cupfuls white stock
+  1 tablespoonful flour
+  2 teaspoonfuls curry powder
+  1 medium-sized onion
+  1 tablespoonful lemon juice
+  Salt, pepper, and red pepper to taste
+  2 cupfuls plain boiled rice
+  2 tablespoonfuls chopped cocoanut

+
+
+Cookery is a branch of applied chemistry. 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 _rationale_ of the cook's
+art chiefly depends. Good cooking can make any meat tender, and bad
+cooking can make any meat tough.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.

+  Breadcrumbs
+  Crisco
+  Peas or new Potatoes
+  Rich brown gravy
+
+Sweetbreads should always be blanched before using. To blanch, soak in

+For those whose digestions are at fault, sweetbreads ought to be eaten
+as a daily ration if the pocketbook will afford it. For this special
+part of the animal's anatomy is that one of all the viscera whose
+mission is to help digestion. It is of the very pancreas itself, that
+stomach gland of marvelously involved structure which elaborates the
+powerful pancreatic juice. It is alkaline in nature, able to digest
+starches, fats, and most of what escapes digestion in the stomach
+proper. It received its name from a fancied resemblance in its

+when indulged in by those of weak digestion. Lentils contain less
+sulphur, and do not produce this complaint so readily.
+
+The more succulent vegetables include tubers, as potatoes and
+Jerusalem artichokes, leaves, stems, and bulbs, as cabbages, spinach,
+celery, and onions, roots and flowers, as carrots, parsnips, and
+cauliflower. These are very valuable on account of the mineral matter,
+chief of which are the potash salts, so necessary to keep the blood in
+a healthy condition.
+
+Care should be taken in cooking vegetables not to lose the salts.
+Steaming is preferable to boiling, by preserving the juices, though it
+does not tend to improve the color of green vegetables. A little lemon
+juice added to the water in which new potatoes are boiling improves
+their color. Mint is sometimes cooked with new potatoes. To secure a
+good color in vegetables when cooked, careful cleaning and preparation
+before cooking is essential. Earthy roots, such as potatoes, turnips,
+and carrots, must be both well scrubbed and thoroughly rinsed in clean
+water before peeling. From all vegetables, coarse or discolored leaves
+and any dark or decayed spots should be carefully removed before
+cooking.
+
+Potatoes should be peeled thinly, or, if new, merely brushed or rubbed
+with a coarse cloth to get the skin off. Turnips should be thickly
+peeled, as the rind in these is hard and woody. Carrots and salsify,
+unless very old, need scraping only. After the removal of the skin,
+all root vegetables (except those of the onion kind) should be put in
+cold water till wanted. Potatoes, artichokes, and salsify especially,
+must not remain a moment out of water after peeling, or they will turn
+a dark color, and to the water used for the two last, a little salt
+and lemon juice should be added in order to keep them white.
+
+Root vegetables should be boiled with the lid of the pan on, green
+vegetables should be boiled with the lid of the pan off, for the
+preservation of the color.

+
+SALADS
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Salads are classified into two groups--i.e., the raw, such as lettuce,
+endive, radishes, cucumber, celery, etc., and the cooked, such as
+those made from cooked vegetables, eggs, cooked cold fish, poultry,
+and meat. The raw materials should be washed most carefully and well
+cleaned before mixing, and the utensils for cutting and mixing, as
+well as the basins or bowls used, should be clean and dry. Every
+salad, no matter how plain and simple it may be, should be made to
+look inviting and tempting. The method of draining or drying is a very
+easy performance so long as the salad leaves, whatever they may be,
+are almost free from moisture. 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.
+
+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. Those made with
+chicken, lobster and salmon respectively are most widely known, but
+fillets of flounder, cold ham or beef, or lamb make very good salads,
+and even the humble herring, and dried and salted fish, may be used
+with advantage in this way.
+
+The meat or fish should be cut up into cubes or convenient small
+pieces, and piled up in the center of the dish or salad bowl on a
+layer of seasoned, shredded lettuce. Over this should be poured half
+of the dressing. Round this should be arranged the green constituents
+of the salad, cut up rather small, garnished with slices of tomato
+or beets, cucumber and hard-cooked egg. The remainder of the dressing
+should be poured over this, and the top of the meat or fish pyramid
+may be ornamented with a few sprigs of endive or parsley.

+
+
+PUDDINGS
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Puddings as a rule either are boiled, steamed or baked. 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.
+
+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.
+
+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
+over when it comes to boil, put spoon in saucepan. Never leave spoon
+in saucepan if you wish the contents to cook quickly, and in any case
+a metal spoon never should be allowed to stand in a boiling saucepan
+containing fruit or any acid.
+
+

+SANDWICHES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+If the slices of bread have to be spread with butter or with a paste
+it should be done before they are cut off. The slices should not be
+cut thicker than an eighth of an inch. When butter is used there must
+just be enough of it for us to know in some mysterious fashion that
+it is there. Every scrap of a sandwich should be eatable. Sandwiches
+usually are served on folded napkins, and arranged in circles, so
+that one overlaps the other. It is well to lay a damp napkin over the
+sandwiches, if they are not wanted immediately, in order to keep them
+moist. To make superior sandwich butter, work one cupful of butter
+in a basin with a clean and dry wooden spoon until soft; then add by
+degrees half a cupful of whipped cream, seasoning of salt and mustard,
+and put it in a cool place until required.

+
+
+PASTRIES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+There are two principal divisions, within which all varieties may be
+included, viz:
+
+1. Short or plain pastries.
+
+2. Flaky pastries.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+See that the oven is clean.
+
+
+
+Plain Crisco Pastry
+
+  1-1/2 cupfuls flour
+  1/2 cupful Crisco
+  1/2 teaspoonful salt
+  Cold water
+
+Sift flour and salt and cut Crisco into flour with knife until finely
+divided. Finger tips may be used to finish blending materials. Add
+gradually sufficient water to make stiff paste. Water should be added
+sparingly and mixed with knife through dry ingredients. Form lightly
+and quickly with hand into dough; roll out on slightly floured
+board, about one-quarter inch thick. Use light motion in handling
+rolling-pin, and roll from center outward.
+
+Sufficient for one small pie.
+
+
+
+The New Crisco Pastry
+
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  3/4 cupful Crisco
+  1 egg
+  1 tablespoonful lemon juice
+  Sufficient cold water to hold mixture together
+  3/4 teaspoonful salt
+
+Sift flour and salt into basin. Flour blade of knife, and chop Crisco
+into flour, being careful to keep flour between blade of knife and
+shortening. When mixture looks like meal, add gradually, egg well
+beaten and mixed with lemon juice. Roll pastry into ball with knife.
+May be used at once, but will be improved if allowed to stand in cool
+place for one hour. Should be rolled out once and handled as lightly
+as possible. May be used for sweet or savory dishes. Bake in hot oven.
+The purpose of the addition of lemon is to render gluten of flour more
+ductile, so that it will stretch rather than break as paste is rolled
+out, or as it rises in oven.
+
+Sufficient for two pies.
+
+
+
+Tip Top Pastry

+
+Sift and mix together flour, salt, and baking powder. Rub in Crisco
+with finger tips. Chill two hours. Then take out 1/2 cupful, and
+to remainder add lemon juice and cold water gradually to make stiff
+paste. Knead lightly and roll into long narrow strip. Sprinkle dough
+with half of reserved mixture and fold so as to make 3 layers. Turn
+half way round, roll again into strip, sprinkle with rest of mixture
+and fold as before. Roll and fold twice more, and pastry is ready for
+use for cakes, puddings, or pies.

+almonds, salt, grated rind and one tablespoonful lemon juice. Mix well
+and spread one-half of mixture on to pastry. Then cover with a layer
+of pastry, the rest of mixture, and lastly cover with pastry. Bake in
+a moderate oven until brown. Or the pastry may be rolled out, brushed
+over with melted Crisco, the mixture spread over it, and rolled up
+to form a roly-poly. Lay on a Criscoed tin and bake in moderate oven
+until brown.
+
+Sufficient for one large pie.

+
+
+Flake Pastry No. 1
+
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  8 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  3/4 teaspoonful salt
+  Just enough cold water to hold dough together
+
+Sift flour and salt and cut half the Crisco into flour with knife
+until it is finely divided. The finger tips may be used to finish
+blending materials. Then add water sparingly, mixing it with knife
+through dry materials. Form with the hand into dough and roll out on a
+floured board to quarter inch thickness. Spread one-third of remaining
+Crisco on two-thirds of dough nearest you; fold twice, to make three
+layers, folding in first that part on which Crisco has not been
+spread. Turn dough, putting folded edges to the sides; roll out,
+spread and fold as before. Repeat once more. Use a light motion in
+handling rolling-pin, and roll from center outward. Should Crisco be
+too hard, it will not mix readily with flour, in which case the result
+will be a tough crust.
+
+Sufficient for two covered pies.
+
+
+
+Flake Pastry No. 2
+
+  1/2 teaspoonful salt
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  1/2 cupful Crisco
+  Cold water
+
+Mix salt with flour; divide Crisco into four equal parts, rub in one
+of these only, and then mix to stiff paste with a little cold water.
+Shape into neat oblong piece, and roll into straight strip about three
+times as long as it is broad. All over this put on, with the point of
+knife, one of remaining quarters of Crisco, distributing it evenly in
+little dabs about size of a pea, so that they look like buttons on
+a card. Now flour surface lightly and fold paste exactly in three by
+taking hold of the two bottom corners and doubling them upwards from
+you and then of the top corners and doubling them downwards towards
+you. Turn now at right angles to its former position so as to have
+open ends pointing towards you. Press these quickly together with
+the roller to inclose some air, and press paste across also in two or
+three places, making little ridges, thus preventing air which has been
+shut in, from forming into large bubble. Roll out again, and repeat
+till remaining two parts of Crisco have thus been used. At the last
+rolling, bring to required thickness; and if it needs widening as well
+as lengthening, turn it at right angles to its former position, and
+roll straight across it as before, a rule which, with flaky pastry,
+should always be observed, since, unlike the short pastries, its
+lightness suffers if rolled obliquely to the direction in which it has
+been folded.
+
+Sufficient for two small pies.
+
+
+
+Puff Pastry
+
+  1 teaspoonful salt
+  1 cupful Crisco
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  1 yolk of egg
+  2 teaspoonfuls lemon juice
+  Cold water
+
+Measure Crisco and set in cold place to chill it. Sift flour and salt
+into basin, and add lemon juice. Take a quarter of the Crisco, and rub
+it lightly into flour with finger tips until there are no lumps left.
+Beat yolk of egg and add a little cold water, then add them to the
+flour, making them into a stiffish dough. Turn this on to floured
+board, and work well with hands until it will no longer stick to
+fingers and forms a perfectly smooth dough. Form into oblong piece and
+roll out to about half inch thickness. The Crisco to be used should be
+as nearly, as possible of same consistency as the paste.
+
+Form it into neat flat cake, and place in center of pastry. Fold
+up rather loosely, and flat the folds with rolling-pin. Place in
+refrigerator for ten minutes. Then roll out pastry into long narrow
+strip, being careful that Crisco does not get through. Fold exactly
+in three, press down folds, and lay aside in cool place or in
+refrigerator fifteen minutes. This is called giving the pastry one
+"turn" and seven of these is the number required for this pastry. The
+next time the pastry is rolled, place it with the joins at your right
+hand side, and open end's towards you. Give two "turns" this time,
+and again set aside in cool place for at least fifteen minutes.
+Repeat this until pastry has had seven rolls in all. The object of the
+cooling between the rolls is to keep Crisco and flour in distinct and
+separate layers, in which it is the function of the rolling-pin and
+folding to arrange them, and on which the lightness of the pastry
+depends.
+
+When rolling, keep the pressure of the two hands as equal as possible.
+If the pastry becomes rounded, it shows that there is more pressure
+being done on the rounded side than the other. After it has received
+its last roll, it is better to be laid aside before using, then rolled
+to the thickness required.
+
+Sufficient for two pies.
+
+

+Have Crisco cold and firm. Sift flour and salt into basin, add Crisco
+and cut into pieces one inch square. Beat up egg, add lemon juice
+and a very little cold water, then add them gradually into other
+ingredients making them into a stiff paste. Roll in a long piece on
+floured board, fold in three, turn rough edges toward you and roll
+out again, continuing this for five times. Place in refrigerator or in
+cool place ten minutes between each rolling. This pastry may be used
+at once for all kinds of sweet or savory pies, but it is improved by
+standing for a few hours in a cool place. Bake in hot oven. Sufficient
+for two covered pies.

+
+
+The usual method of making bread is to ferment dough with yeast;
+the latter acts upon certain constituents in the flour ultimately
+producing a gas which permeates the dough. 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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Yeast is a fungoid growth, a microscopic plant capable of starting a
+fermentation in various substances. It grows 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.
+
+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.
+
+Second. It is used to save labor. When a richer mixture be made it
+requires to be well beaten to mix in air. Baking powder often is added
+to save some of the otherwise necessary beating.

+Baking Powder Biscuits
+
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  2 teaspoonfuls baking powder[A]

+Mix and sift twice dry ingredients. Work in Crisco with finger tips,
+add gradually milk, mixing with knife to soft dough. Toss on floured
+board; pat and roll to one-half inch thickness. Shape with biscuit
+cutter. Place on Criscoed tin and bake in hot oven twelve minutes. To
+have good biscuits dough should be handled as little as possible, just
+enough to get in shape to cut. Milk or water used for mixing should
+be very cold, and biscuits should be gotten into oven at once after
+adding liquid to flour. If top of each biscuit is lightly brushed over
+with melted Crisco before baking, crust will be much nicer. Sufficient
+for fifteen biscuits.

+CAKES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+There are five principal ways of making cakes.
+
+The first method is used for plain cakes. 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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. _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._ 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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, 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.
+
+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.

+VEGETARIAN DISHES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Even those who are by no means decided vegetarians may be glad to pass
+over a dinner occasionally without meat. 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.
+
+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.
+
+Crisco is entirely vegetable.
+
+
+
+Bean Cutlets
+
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1 tablespoonful flour
+  1/2 cupful bean liquor
+  Salt and pepper to taste
+  2 eggs
+  1/4 lb. dried beans
+  A few cooked mixed vegetables
+  Breadcrumbs
+
+Soak beans in water twenty-four hours, then boil for several hours
+till quite tender, drain them, preserving liquor, chop them 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. Then cut out with cutlet-cutter or shape with knife;
+dip in beaten whites of the eggs, then in fine breadcrumbs, repeat
+a second time, and fry in hot Crisco. Serve on hot platter decorated
+with a few hot cooked mixed vegetables. Sufficient for eight cutlets.

+EGGS
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+When there is any doubt as to the freshness of eggs, they may be
+tested in various ways. 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.
+
+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.
+If too much cooked, or at too high a temperature, the white becomes
+tough, hard, and to many people, indigestible.
+
+When required for salads, garnishing, etc., the eggs must be boiled
+from ten to twenty minutes, and if the yolks are to be powdered for
+sprinkling, they must be cooked for a longer time, or the centers will
+be somewhat tough and elastic, and useless for the purpose.
+
+In beating eggs, a little salt added to the whites helps to bring them
+to a froth more quickly. When frothed whites are to be mixed with a
+heavier or more solid substance, great care must be taken not to
+break down the froth. The object of beating being to mix in air, rough
+handling afterwards would render the beating useless; the mixing must
+therefore be done very carefully. They should be folded or wrapped up
+in the other substance, but the mixing also must be thorough, for
+any pieces of white separated from the rest will toughen and taste
+leathery, besides failing in the special purpose of giving lightness
+to the mixture. After mixing lightly and perfectly all such
+preparations should be cooked at once. The white "speck" always should
+be removed from a broken egg, as it is easily distinguished after
+cooking, and in anything of a liquid nature, such as custards, sauces,
+etc., it would be hard and unpleasant.

+
+CANDIES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+It is well to have a confectioner's thermometer for candy making,
+so that the syrup may be removed from the fire at exactly the right
+degree. 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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. This in turn is succeeded by the "crack"
+(290° F. to 300° F.) To test this, drop a little of the syrup into
+cold water; if it then breaks off sharp and crisp it has reached the
+crack. The final stage is the "caramel" (350° F.) which comes very
+quickly after the crack, the syrup becoming first a pale yellow, and
+then a rich golden brown, and finally black or burnt. When it first
+reaches this stage the pan should be removed from the fire, a little
+lemon juice or water added, and then the whole reboiled to the proper
+stage or shade. To prevent granulation, it often is advisable to add a
+pinch of cream of tartar, to the pound of sugar.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a

+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<p>The word "fat" is one of the most interesting in food chemistry.
+It is the great energy producer. John C. Olsen, A.M., Ph.D., in his
+book, "Pure Food," states that fats furnish half the total energy
+obtained by human beings from their food. The three <i>primary</i>,
+solid cooking fats today are:</p>
+
+<center><img title="" alt="Butter Lard Crisco" src=

+

+oleomargarine and "lard compounds."</p>

+
+<p>The culinary world is revising its entire cook book on account
+of the advent of Crisco, a new and altogether different cooking
+fat.</p>
+
+<p>Many wonder that any product could gain the favor of cooking
+experts so quickly. 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

+<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&mdash;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>
+

+
+<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&mdash;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>

+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=

+<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. Hot climates have
+little effect upon its wholesomeness.</p>
+
+<p><a name="Page_20"></a>It is convenient; a handy package to pack
+and does not melt so quickly in transit. One can of Crisco can be
+used to fry fish, eggs, potatoes and to make hot biscuit, merely by
+straining out the food particles after each frying and pouring the
+Crisco back into the can to harden to proper consistency before the
+biscuit making.</p>
+
+<p>Practically every grocer who has a good trade in Crisco, uses it
+in his own home.</p>
+
+<img title="" alt="Empty Tins for Canning" src="images/img24.jpg"
+style="float: left" width="300" height="150">
+
+<p>Crisco is sold by net weight. You pay <i>only</i> for the
+Crisco&mdash;not the can. Find the net weight of what you have been
+using.</p>
+
+<p>Bread and cake keep fresh and moist much longer when Crisco is
+used.</p>
+
+<p>Women have written that they use empty Crisco tins for canning
+vegetables and fruits, and as receptacles for kitchen and pantry
+use.</p>
+
+<br>
+
+
+<h3>Crisco's Manufacture Scientifically Explained</h3>
+
+<p>To understand something of the Crisco Process, it is necessary
+first to know that there are three main constituents in all the
+best edible oils.</p>
+
+<p>Linoline, Oleine, Stearine.</p>
+
+<p>The chemical difference between these three components is solely
+in the percentage of hydrogen contained, and it is possible by the
+addition of hydrogen, to transform one component into another.</p>
+
+<p>Though seemingly so much alike, there is a marked difference in
+the physical properties of these components.</p>
+
+<p>Linoline which has the lowest percentage of hydrogen, is
+unstable and tends to turn rancid.</p>
+
+<p>Oleine is stable, has no tendency to turn rancid and is easily
+digested.</p>
+
+<p>Stearine is both hard and indigestible.</p>
+
+<p>The Crisco process adds enough hydrogen to change almost all the
+linoline into nourishing digestible oleine.</p>
+
+<p><a name="Page_21"></a>Mark well the difference in manufacture
+between Crisco and lard compounds. 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>

+
+<p>No need for Crisco to occupy valuable space in the refrigerator.
+In fact, except in most unusual summer heat, it will be of a better
+consistency outside the refrigerator. Crisco keeps sweet
+indefinitely, summer and winter, at ordinary room temperature.</p>

+
+<p>Remember that Crisco, like butter, is susceptible to cold. It

+<p><i>When pie crust is tough:</i> It is possible you have not used
+Crisco properly. Perhaps the measurements were not correct. Perhaps
+the water was too warm, or the dough was handled too much.
+Shortening cannot make pastry tough.</p>
+
+<p><i>When fried foods absorb:</i> It is because Crisco is not hot
+enough, or because you have not used enough Crisco. Use plenty and
+the raw foods, if added in small quantities, will not reduce the
+heat of the fat. The absorption in deep Crisco frying should be
+less than that of another fat.</p>
+
+<p><i>When cake is not a success:</i> It is not the fault of the
+Crisco. Either too much was used, the oven heat not perfectly
+controlled or some important ingredient was used in the wrong
+proportion. Crisco should be creamed with the sugar more thoroughly
+than butter, as Crisco contains no moisture to dissolve the
+sugar.</p>
+
+<p><i>When cake or other food is not flavory:</i> Salt should have
+been added to the Crisco, for Crisco contains no salt.</p>
+
+<p><i>When there is smoke in the kitchen:</i> Crisco has been
+burned or heated too high for frying. Or some may have been on the
+<i>outside</i> of the pan or kettle.</p>
+
+<p><i>When Crisco is too hard:</i> Like butter, it is susceptible
+to heat and cold. Simply put in a warmer place.</p>

+quantities required. Collect all utensils and materials required
+before commencing. Success in cookery depends on careful attention
+to every detail from start to finish. Quantities, both liquid and

+
+<p>Money can be spent to infinitely better advantage in the store,
+than by giving orders at the door, by phone or mail. 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&mdash;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&mdash;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>

+
+<h2><a name="Page_31"></a><i>Methods of Cooking</i></h2>
+
+<br>
+<p>There are seven chief methods of cooking meat&mdash;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).&mdash;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&deg; 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&deg; 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&deg; 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>saut&eacute;ing</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&deg; 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>

+<h2><b><a name="Page_42"></a><i>The Art of Carving</i></b></h2>
+
+<br>
+<p>Carving is an art, and one which anybody, with a knowledge of a
+few general directions, can acquire easily.</p>
+
+<p>A proper set of carving tools is almost indispensable, and
+should comprise: a good thin, sharp-bladed knife, a solid two or
+three pronged fork, and a pair of carving scissors. 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>

+<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&mdash;i.e. peas,
+beans, and lentils&mdash;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>Consomm&eacute; 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. In warm weather, soups with milk in their
+composition should have a pinch of baking soda added.</p>
+
+<p>Thickenings for soup consist usually of yolks of eggs and cream
+beaten together in a basin, the boiling soup poured on slowly,
+stirring well at the same time. Soups thus thickened should not be
+allowed to boil again, otherwise they will curdle. Instead of eggs
+and cream, cornstarch and milk may be used to thicken the soup.</p>

+<a name="FISH"></a><a name="Page_51"></a><br>
+<div id="fish">
+<p>Fish, though not quite so nutritious or so stimulating as
+butcher's meat, is an excellent article of diet, as it is light and
+easy of digestion and well suited to delicate persons and those
+following sedentary occupations, who generally do not take exercise
+in the fresh air. 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 id="meats">
+<p>Cookery is a branch of applied chemistry. 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>

+saucepan, cover with cold water, add little salt, and skim well as
+water comes to boil. Simmer from ten to thirty minutes, according
+to kind of sweet-bread used. Remove to basin of cold water until
+cold, or wash well in <a name="Page_63"></a>cold water and press
+between two plates till cold. Dry, remove skin, cut in slices, coat
+with beaten egg and toss in breadcrumbs, and fry in hot Crisco to a
+golden brown. Serve round peas or new potatoes, with rich brown
+gravy.</p>
+
+<p>For those whose digestions are at fault, sweetbreads ought to be
+eaten as a daily ration if the pocketbook will afford it. For this
+special part of the animal's anatomy is that one of all the viscera
+whose mission is to help digestion. It is of the very pancreas
+itself, that stomach gland of marvelously involved structure which
+elaborates the powerful pancreatic juice. It is alkaline in nature,
+able to digest starches, fats, and most of what escapes digestion
+in the stomach proper. It received its name from a fancied
+resemblance in its substance and formation to the rising lumps of
+dough destined for bread.</p>

+<div id="veggies">
+<p>In the vegetable kingdom the cereals form a very important part
+of our diet, by supplying chiefly the carbohydrates or heat giving
+matter. Another nutritious group termed pulse, are those which have
+their seed enclosed in a pod. The most familiar are peas, beans,
+and lentils; peas and beans are eaten in the green or unripe state
+as well as in the dried. Vegetables included in the pulse group are
+very nourishing if they can be digested, they contain a large
+amount of flesh forming matter, usually a fair amount of starch,
+but are deficient in fat. Peas and beans also contain sulphur and
+tend to produce flatulence when indulged in by those of weak
+digestion. Lentils contain less sulphur, and do not produce this
+complaint so readily.</p>
+
+<p>The more succulent vegetables include tubers, as potatoes and
+Jerusalem artichokes, leaves, stems, and bulbs, as cabbages,
+spinach, celery, and onions, roots and flowers, as carrots,
+parsnips, and cauliflower. These are very valuable on account of
+the mineral matter, chief of which are the potash salts, so
+necessary to keep the blood in a healthy condition.</p>
+
+<p>Care should be taken in cooking vegetables not to lose the
+salts. Steaming is preferable to boiling, by preserving the juices,
+though it does not tend to improve the color of green vegetables. A
+little lemon juice added to the water in which new potatoes are
+boiling improves their color. Mint is sometimes cooked with new
+potatoes. To secure a good color in vegetables when cooked, careful
+cleaning and preparation before cooking is essential. Earthy roots,
+such as potatoes, turnips, and carrots, must be both well scrubbed
+and thoroughly rinsed in clean water before peeling. From all
+vegetables, coarse or discolored leaves and any dark or decayed
+spots should be carefully removed before cooking.</p>
+
+<p>Potatoes should be peeled thinly, or, if new, merely brushed or
+rubbed with a coarse cloth to get the skin off. <a name=
+"Page_67"></a>Turnips should be thickly peeled, as the rind in
+these is hard and woody. Carrots and salsify, unless very old, need
+scraping only. After the removal of the skin, all root vegetables
+(except those of the onion kind) should be put in cold water till
+wanted. Potatoes, artichokes, and salsify especially, must not
+remain a moment out of water after peeling, or they will turn a
+dark color, and to the water used for the two last, a little salt
+and lemon juice should be added in order to keep them white.</p>
+
+<p>Root vegetables should be boiled with the lid of the pan on,
+green vegetables should be boiled with the lid of the pan off, for
+the preservation of the color.</p>

+
+<div id="salads">
+<p>Salads are classified into two groups&mdash;i.e., the raw, such
+as lettuce, endive, radishes, cucumber, celery, etc., and the
+cooked, such as those made from cooked vegetables, eggs, cooked
+cold fish, poultry, and meat. The raw materials should be washed
+most carefully and well cleaned before mixing, and the utensils for
+cutting and mixing, as well as the basins or bowls used, should be
+clean and dry. Every salad, no matter how plain and simple it may
+be, should be made to look inviting and tempting. The method of
+draining or drying is a very easy performance so long as the salad
+leaves, whatever they may be, are almost free from moisture. 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&mdash;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. Those made with chicken, lobster and salmon
+respectively are most widely known, but fillets of flounder, cold
+ham or beef, or lamb make very good salads, and even the humble
+herring, and dried and salted fish, may be used with advantage in
+this way.</p>
+
+<p>The meat or fish should be cut up into cubes or convenient small
+pieces, and piled up in the center of the dish or salad bowl on a
+layer of seasoned, shredded lettuce. Over this should be poured
+half of the dressing. Round this should be arranged the green <a
+name="Page_74"></a>constituents of the salad, cut up rather small,
+garnished with slices of tomato or beets, cucumber and hard-cooked
+egg. The remainder of the dressing should be poured over this, and
+the top of the meat or fish pyramid may be ornamented with a few
+sprigs of endive or parsley.</p>

+<div id="puddings">
+<p>Puddings as a rule either are boiled, steamed or baked. 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. Never leave spoon in saucepan if you wish the
+contents to cook quickly, and in any case a metal spoon never
+should be allowed to stand in a boiling saucepan containing fruit
+or any acid.</p>

+
+<div id="pastries">
+<p>There are two principal divisions, within which all varieties
+may be included, viz:</p>
+
+<p>1. 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&deg; F. to 340&deg;
+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. See that the oven is clean.</p>

+corners and doubling them downwards towards you. Turn now at right
+angles to its former position so as to have open ends pointing

+them to the flour, making them into a stiffish dough. Turn this on
+to floured board, and work well with hands until it will no longer
+stick to fingers and forms a perfectly smooth dough. Form into
+oblong piece and roll out to about half inch thickness. The Crisco
+to be used should be as nearly, as possible of same consistency as
+the paste.</p>
+
+<p>Form it into neat flat cake, and place in center of pastry. Fold
+up rather loosely, and flat the folds with rolling-pin. Place in
+refrigerator for ten minutes. Then roll out pastry into long narrow
+strip, being careful <a name="Page_93"></a>that Crisco does not get
+through. Fold exactly in three, press down folds, and lay aside in
+cool place or in refrigerator fifteen minutes. This is called
+giving the pastry one "turn" and seven of these is the number
+required for this pastry. The next time the pastry is rolled, place
+it with the joins at your right hand side, and open end's towards
+you. Give two "turns" this time, and again set aside in cool place
+for at least fifteen minutes. Repeat this until pastry has had
+seven rolls in all. The object of the cooling between the rolls is

+<p>The usual method of making bread is to ferment dough with yeast;
+the latter acts upon certain constituents in the flour ultimately
+producing a gas which permeates the dough. 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&deg; 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. Baking powder often is
+added to save some of the otherwise necessary beating.</p>

+
+<div id="cakes">
+<p>There are five principal ways of making cakes.</p>
+
+<p>The first method is used for plain cakes. 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>

+<p>Even those who are by no means decided vegetarians may be glad
+to pass over a dinner occasionally without meat. 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&mdash;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>

+<p>When there is any doubt as to the freshness of eggs, they may be
+tested in various ways. 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&mdash;about 160&deg; F., or if in the shell at about
+180&deg; 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. If too much cooked, or at too high
+a temperature, the white becomes tough, hard, and to many people,
+indigestible.</p>
+
+<p>When required for salads, garnishing, etc., the eggs must be
+boiled from ten to twenty minutes, and if the yolks are to be
+powdered for sprinkling, they must be cooked for a longer time, or
+the centers will be somewhat tough and elastic, and useless for the
+purpose.</p>
+
+<p>In beating eggs, a little salt added to the whites helps to
+bring them to a froth more quickly. When frothed whites are to be
+mixed with a heavier or more solid substance, great care must be
+taken not to break down the froth. The object of beating being to
+mix in air, rough handling afterwards would render the beating
+useless; the mixing must therefore be done very carefully. They
+should be folded or wrapped up in the other substance, but the
+mixing also must be thorough, for any pieces of white separated
+from the rest will toughen and taste leathery, besides failing in
+the special purpose of giving lightness to the mixture. After
+mixing lightly and perfectly all such preparations <a name=
+"Page_140"></a>should be cooked at once. The white "speck" always
+should be removed from a broken egg, as it is easily distinguished
+after cooking, and in anything of a liquid nature, such as
+custards, sauces, etc., it would be hard and unpleasant.</p>

+
+<div id="candies">
+<p>It is well to have a confectioner's thermometer for candy
+making, so that the syrup may be removed from the fire at exactly
+the right degree. Such thermometers are made of wood, brass, or
+copper, and the degrees on them should mark not less than 350&deg;.
+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&deg; F. to 218&deg; 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&deg; 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&deg; 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&deg; 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&deg; F. to
+250&deg; 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. This in turn is succeeded by the "crack" (290&deg; F. to
+300&deg; F.) To test this, drop a little of the syrup into cold
+water; if it then breaks off sharp and crisp it has reached the
+crack. The final stage is the "caramel" (350&deg; F.) which comes
+very quickly after the crack, the syrup becoming first a pale
+yellow, and then a rich golden brown, and finally black or burnt.
+When it first reaches this stage the pan should be removed from the
+fire, a little lemon juice or water added, and then the whole
+reboiled to the proper stage or shade. To prevent granulation, it
+often is advisable to add a pinch of cream of tartar, to the pound
+of sugar.</p>

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+_INTRODUCTION_
+
+
+The word "fat" is one of the most interesting in food chemistry. It
+is the great energy producer. John C. Olsen, A.M., Ph.D., in his book,
+"Pure Food," states that fats furnish half the total energy obtained
+by human beings from their food. The three _primary_, solid cooking
+fats today are:
+
+[Illustration: _Butter Lard Crisco_]
+
+There are numbers of substitutes for these, such as butterine,
+oleomargarine and "lard compounds."
+
+The following pages contain a story of unusual interest to _you_. For
+you _eat_.
+
+See Page 233
+
+
+
+
+_The Story of Crisco_
+
+The culinary world is revising its entire cook book on account of the
+advent of Crisco, a new and altogether different cooking fat.
+
+Many wonder that any product could gain the favor of cooking experts
+so quickly. 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.
+
+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 _digestible_ foods, more
+_economical_ foods, and better _tasting_ foods.
+
+
+Cooking and History
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+It seems strange to many that there can be anything _better_ 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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+A Need Anticipated
+
+Great foresight was shown in the making of Crisco.
+
+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 _substitute_, but something _better_ than these fats, some product
+which not only would accomplish as much in cookery, but _a great deal
+more_.
+
+When, therefore, Crisco was perfected, and it was shown that here
+finally was an altogether _new_ and _better_ fat, cookery experts were
+quick to show their appreciation.
+
+In reading the following pages, think of Crisco as a _primary_ cooking
+fat or shortening with even more individuality (because it does
+greater things), than all others.
+
+
+Man's Most Important Food, Fat
+
+No other food supplies our bodies with the _drive_, the vigor, which
+fat gives. No other food has been given so little study in proportion
+to its importance.
+
+Here are interesting facts, yet few housewives are acquainted with
+them:
+
+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 _any other constituent of food_...."
+
+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 _welcome_, rather than repel.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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 _not_ decompose or break down at frying temperature.
+Crisco does not break down until a degree of heat is reached _above_
+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.
+
+
+Working Towards an Ideal
+
+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 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 _not_ possess. It must have every
+good quality and no bad one.
+
+After years of study, a process was discovered which made possible the
+ideal fat.
+
+The process involved the changing of the composition of vegetable food
+oils and the making of the richest fat or solid _cream_.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The Crisco Process at the first stage of its development gave, at
+least, the basis of the ideal fat; namely, a purely _vegetable_
+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.
+
+
+Not Marketed Until Perfect
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+A Primary Fat
+
+It was neither a butter, a "compound" nor a "substitute," but _an
+entirely new product_. A _primary_ fat.
+
+In 1911 it was named Crisco and placed upon the market.
+
+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 and because they would have no legal right
+to make it. Crisco is Crisco, and nothing else.
+
+
+Finally Economical
+
+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.
+
+Crisco was not offered for sale as a _substitute_, 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.
+
+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 _mediocre_ quality. The _price_ of Crisco is lower than the
+average price of the best pail lard throughout the year.

+Crisco's Manufacture
+
+[Illustration: COOLING IN A ROOM WITH GLASS WALLS]
+
+[Illustration: FILLING BY MACHINERY]
+
+[Illustration: AUTOMATIC LABELLING]
+
+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.
+
+The air for this building is drawn in through an apparatus which
+washes and purifies it, removing the possibility of any dust entering.
+
+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.
+
+
+The Banishment of That "Lardy" Taste in Foods
+
+It was the earnest aim of the makers of Crisco to produce a
+strictly _vegetable_ 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 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.
+
+So Crisco is absolutely _all_ 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.
+
+
+Explanation of "Hidden" Food Flavors.
+
+When the dainty shadings of taste are over-shadowed by a "lardy"
+flavor, the _true_ taste of the food itself is lost. We miss the
+"hidden" or _natural_ 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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Take ginger bread for example: The real _ginger_ taste is there. The
+_molasses_ and spice flavors are brought out.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Or just plain, every-day fried potatoes; many never knew what the real
+_potato_ taste was before eating potatoes fried in Crisco.
+
+Fried chicken has a newness of taste not known before.
+
+New users of Crisco should try these simple foods first and later take
+up the preparation of more elaborate dishes.
+
+
+Butter, Ever Popular
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+Keep Your Parlor and Your Kitchen Strangers
+
+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 _smoking_
+temperature, ideal frying is accomplished without bringing Crisco to
+its smoking point. On the other hand, it is necessary to heat lard
+"smoking 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.
+
+[Illustration: The Lard Kitchen.]
+
+[Illustration: The Crisco Kitchen--No Smoke.]
+
+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.
+
+Crisco gives up its heat very quickly to the food submerged in it and
+a tender, brown crust almost _instantly_ forms, allowing the inside of
+the potatoes, croquettes, doughnuts, etc., to become _baked_, rather
+than soaked.
+
+[Illustration: Fry this, Then this, Then this--in the same Crisco.]
+
+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.
+
+
+We All Eat Raw Fats
+
+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 used, _you eat raw animal lard_. 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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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
+_now_ eat these rich, yet digestible Crisco dishes.
+
+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 _readily_.
+
+
+The Importance of Giving Children Crisco Foods
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+As more attention is given to _present_ feeding, less attention need
+be given to _future_ doctoring. Equip your children with good stomachs
+by giving them wholesome Crisco foods--foods which digest with ease.
+
+They may eat the rich things they enjoy and find them just as
+digestible as many apparently simple foods, if Crisco be used
+properly.
+
+They may eat Crisco doughnuts or pie without being chased by
+nightmares. Sweet dreams follow the Crisco supper.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+The Great Variety of Crisco Foods
+
+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.
+
+Many women _begin_ by using Crisco in simple ways, for frying, for
+baking, in place of lard. Soon, however, they learn that Crisco _also_
+takes the place of butter. "Butter richness without butter expense,"
+say the thousands of Crisco users.
+
+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.
+
+
+"A Woman Can Throw Out More with a Teaspoon Than a Man Can Bring Home
+in a Wagon"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Kitchen expense comes by the _spoonful_. Think of the countless
+spoonfuls of expensive butter used daily, where economical Crisco
+would accomplish the same results at one-third the cost.
+
+It should be remembered that one-fifth less Crisco than butter may be
+used, because Crisco is _richer_ 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 _all_, (100 per cent) shortening.
+
+Remember also that Crisco will average _a lower price per pound
+throughout the year than the best pail lard_. And you can use less
+Crisco than lard, which is a further saving. [Illustration: Hotel

+
+[Illustration: Domestic Scientists Use Crisco]
+
+
+Brief, Interesting Facts
+
+Crisco is being used in an increasing number of the better class
+hotels, clubs, restaurants, dining cars, ocean liners.
+
+Crisco has been demonstrated and explained upon the Chautauqua
+platform by Domestic Science experts, these lectures being a part of
+the regular course.
+
+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.
+
+Crisco has taken the place of butter and lard in a number of
+hospitals, where purity and digestibility are of _vital_ importance.
+
+[Illustration: Hospital Dietetic Class]
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration: The Kosher Seal]
+
+Campers find Crisco helpful in many ways. Hot climates have little
+effect upon its wholesomeness.
+
+It is convenient; a handy package to pack and does not melt so quickly
+in transit. One can of Crisco can be used to fry fish, eggs, potatoes
+and to make hot biscuit, merely by straining out the food particles
+after each frying and pouring the Crisco back into the can to harden
+to proper consistency before the biscuit making.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Practically every grocer who has a good trade in Crisco, uses it in
+his own home.
+
+Crisco is sold by net weight. You pay _only_ for the Crisco--not the
+can. Find the net weight of what you have been using.
+
+Bread and cake keep fresh and moist much longer when Crisco is used.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Women have written that they use empty Crisco tins for canning
+vegetables and fruits, and as receptacles for kitchen and pantry use.
+
+
+Crisco's Manufacture Scientifically Explained
+
+To understand something of the Crisco Process, it is necessary first
+to know that there are three main constituents in all the best edible
+oils.
+
+Linoline, Oleine, Stearine.
+
+The chemical difference between these three components is solely
+in the percentage of hydrogen contained, and it is possible by the
+addition of hydrogen, to transform one component into another.
+
+Though seemingly so much alike, there is a marked difference in the
+physical properties of these components.
+
+Linoline which has the lowest percentage of hydrogen, is unstable and
+tends to turn rancid.
+
+Oleine is stable, has no tendency to turn rancid and is easily
+digested.
+
+Stearine is both hard and indigestible.
+
+The Crisco process adds enough hydrogen to change almost all the
+linoline into nourishing digestible oleine.
+
+Mark well the difference in manufacture between Crisco and lard
+compounds. 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.

+
+
+_Things to Remember in Connection with These Recipes_
+
+
+No need for Crisco to occupy valuable space in the refrigerator.
+In fact, except in most unusual summer heat, it will be of a better
+consistency outside the refrigerator. Crisco keeps sweet indefinitely,
+summer and winter, at ordinary room temperature.
+
+[Illustration: Use level measurements]
+
+In making sauces, thoroughly blend the flour and Crisco before adding
+the milk.
+
+In using melted Crisco in boiled dressing, croquettes, rolls,
+fritters, etc., be sure that the melted Crisco is cooled sufficiently
+so that the hot fat will not injure the texture of the foods.
+
+When using in place of butter, add salt in the proportion of one level
+teaspoonful to one cup of Crisco.
+
+Remember that Crisco, like butter, is susceptible to cold. It readily
+becomes hard. In creaming Crisco in winter use the same care as when
+creaming butter. Rinse pan in boiling water and have the Crisco of
+the proper creaming stiffness before using. Unlike butter, however,
+Crisco's purity is not affected by weather. It remains sweet and pure
+indefinitely without refrigeration.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+In deep frying, do not wait for Crisco to smoke. (See page 35.)
+
+
+
+
+_Remember That_--
+
+
+_When pie crust is tough:_ It is possible you have not used Crisco
+properly. Perhaps the measurements were not correct. Perhaps the water
+was too warm, or the dough was handled too much. Shortening cannot
+make pastry tough.
+
+_When fried foods absorb:_ It is because Crisco is not hot enough, or
+because you have not used enough Crisco. Use plenty and the raw foods,
+if added in small quantities, will not reduce the heat of the fat. The
+absorption in deep Crisco frying should be less than that of another
+fat.
+
+_When cake is not a success:_ It is not the fault of the Crisco.
+Either too much was used, the oven heat not perfectly controlled or
+some important ingredient was used in the wrong proportion. Crisco
+should be creamed with the sugar more thoroughly than butter, as
+Crisco contains no moisture to dissolve the sugar.
+
+_When cake or other food is not flavory:_ Salt should have been added
+to the Crisco, for Crisco contains no salt.
+
+_When there is smoke in the kitchen:_ Crisco has been burned or heated
+too high for frying. Or some may have been on the _outside_ of the pan
+or kettle.
+
+_When Crisco is too hard:_ Like butter, it is susceptible to heat and
+cold. Simply put in a warmer place.

+_Hints to Young Cooks_
+
+_Also, How to Choose Foods, Methods of Cooking, Cooking Time Table,
+The Art of Carving_, by MARION HARRIS NEIL.
+
+
+Before commencing to cook, look up the required recipe, read and think
+it out. Note down on a slip of paper the materials and quantities
+required. Collect all utensils and materials required before
+commencing. Success in cookery depends on careful attention to every
+detail from start to finish. Quantities, both liquid and dry, should
+be exact. Small scales and weights should form part of the kitchen
+equipment where possible, and the measuring cups cost so little that
+no one need be without them.
+
+Throughout this book the measurements are level

+
+
+_How to Choose Foods_
+
+Money can be spent to infinitely better advantage in the store, than
+by giving orders at the door, by phone or mail. 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.
+
+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.
+
+
+Beef
+
+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.
+
+
+Mutton
+
+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.
+
+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, 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.
+
+
+Lamb
+
+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.
+
+
+Veal
+
+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.
+
+
+Pork
+
+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.
+
+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 _must_ 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 very
+common disease among pigs, and one particularly unwholesome to the
+consumer.
+
+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.
+
+
+Ham--Bacon
+
+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.
+
+
+Venison
+
+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.
+
+
+Hares and Rabbits
+
+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.
+
+
+Poultry
+
+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.
+
+_Turkeys_ 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."
+
+_Geese_ 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 when the bill is open. The male is generally the
+more expensive, though the female is usually more delicate in flavor.
+
+_Pigeons_ always should be young and extremely fresh, and when so,
+they are plump and fat, with pliable smooth feet.
+
+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.
+
+_Guinea-fowl_ are judged like poultry, but require hanging for some
+time.
+
+
+Fish
+
+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.
+
+_Salmon_ 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.
+
+_Trout_, in spite of the difference in size, may be judged by the
+same rule as salmon. However, it will not bear keeping, deteriorating
+rapidly.
+
+_Cod_, 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.
+
+_Herrings_ 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.
+
+_Mackerel_ 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.
+
+_Smelts_ should be stiff and silvery, with a delicate perfume faintly
+suggestive of cucumber.
+
+_Halibut_ is a wholesome fish. It should be middling size, thick and
+of a white color.
+
+_Lobsters, Crabs, Prawns, and Shrimps_ 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.
+
+
+Vegetables
+
+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.
+
+
+Eggs
+
+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.

+
+_Methods of Cooking_
+
+
+There are seven chief methods of cooking meat--roasting, boiling,
+baking, stewing, frying, broiling and poaching.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Braising and steaming are combinations and modifications of these
+methods.
+
+
+Roasting
+
+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.
+
+
+Oven Roasting
+
+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 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.
+
+The excellence of a roast depends to a great extent upon the amount of
+basting it receives.
+
+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.
+
+In warm weather joints require slightly less time for roasting than in
+cold.
+
+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.
+
+
+Boiling
+
+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 deg. 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 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 deg.
+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.
+
+
+Baking
+
+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.
+
+
+Stewing
+
+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 deg. 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.
+
+
+Broiling
+
+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
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+Frying
+
+Frying may be looked on as a derivative of broiling, and passes by
+easy stages, from broiling on a slightly greased metal plate, or
+_sauteing_ 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 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.
+
+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.
+
+Use _plenty_ 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 _all_ frying,
+merely by straining out food particles after each frying.
+
+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.
+
+Let Crisco get hot gradually in the pan. Do not put into an already
+hot container. No fat should be treated in this manner.
+
+
+
+
+Do Not Wait for Crisco to Smoke
+
+
+Heat Crisco until a crumb of bread becomes a golden brown in
+
+60 seconds for raw dough mixtures, as crullers, fritters, etc.
+
+40 seconds for cooked mixtures, as croquettes, codfish balls, etc.
+
+20 seconds for French fried potatoes.
+
+Seconds may be counted thus: one hundred and one, one hundred and two,
+etc.
+
+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.
+
+When prepared, the foods must be placed in the basket, not too many
+at a time or too close together, and then lowered 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.
+
+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.
+
+
+To Clarify
+
+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. 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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+
+Steaming
+
+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 deg. 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.
+
+
+Braising
+
+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.
+
+
+Poaching and Marinating
+
+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 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.
+
+
+Cooking in Earthenware
+
+Stone or earthenware cooking appliances are used to very great
+advantage for various forms of preparing food. For the homely
+_pot-au-feu_ 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.

+
+To measure meal, flour, sugar and similar ingredients, sift lightly
+into the measure, then level.
+
+Standard measuring cups made of tin, aluminum or glass holding half
+a pint always should be used. Coffee and teacups vary so much that
+correct proportions can not be obtained by using them.
+
+To measure a spoonful of dry material, fill the spoon heaping, then
+level. To measure a half-spoonful, fill and level the spoon, then
+divide in half lengthways; for quarter-spoonfuls, divide the halves
+crossways.

+
+_The Art of Carving_
+
+
+Carving is an art, and one which anybody, with a knowledge of a few
+general directions, can acquire easily.
+
+A proper set of carving tools is almost indispensable, and should
+comprise: a good thin, sharp-bladed knife, a solid two or three
+pronged fork, and a pair of carving scissors. 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.
+
+_To carve a fowl_, 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.
+
+_A turkey_ 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.
+
+_To carve a goose_, 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, 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.
+
+_Quails_ merely are split down the back, as also are pigeons, giving a
+half to each person.
+
+_To carve loin of mutton,_ 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.
+
+_To carve leg of mutton,_ 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.
+
+_To carve forequarter of mutton or lamb._ 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.
+
+_To carve rabbit or hare._ In either case first separate legs and
+shoulders; then cut the back part across, into two parts. 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.
+
+_To carve sirloin of beef,_ 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.
+
+_To carve ham._ 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.
+
+_To carve ox-tongue._ 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.
+
+_To carve fish._ 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.

+SOUPS
+
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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 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.
+
+Consomme 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. In warm
+weather, soups with milk in their composition should have a pinch of
+baking soda added.
+
+Thickenings for soup consist usually of yolks of eggs and cream beaten
+together in a basin, the boiling soup poured on slowly, stirring well
+at the same time. Soups thus thickened should not be allowed to
+boil again, otherwise they will curdle. Instead of eggs and cream,
+cornstarch and milk may be used to thicken the soup.
+
+
+
+Asparagus Soup
+
+  40 heads asparagus
+  3 tablespoonfuls flour
+  3 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1/2 cupful cream
+  1 quart white stock
+  1 bunch herbs
+  1 bay leaf
+  4 sprigs parsley
+  2 egg yolks
+  1 blade mace
+  Salt and white pepper to taste

+
+Take heads off asparagus, and put aside. Cut up stalks in slices, also
+onion, put these into saucepan with Crisco, herbs, parsley, bay leaf,
+and mace, and fry gently for fifteen minutes, add flour, then stock,
+and simmer slowly for 1-1/2 hours. Rub through sieve, add cream, yolks
+of eggs, and seasonings, reheat, but take care not to boil soup. Just
+before serving throw in asparagus tops, which should be first cooked
+in a little boiling stock.
+
+
+
+Cheese Soup
+
+  4 tablespoonfuls grated cheese
+  3 quarts clear soup stock
+  1-1/2 cupfuls flour
+  4 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  2 cupfuls cream
+  2 eggs
+  Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
+  Finely grated cheese
+
+Put flour into double boiler, add gradually cream, Crisco, 4
+tablespoonfuls of grated cheese and paprika to taste, stir over fire
+till a smooth paste. Break in eggs, mix well, cook two minutes longer
+and allow to cool. Roll into balls, when they are all formed, drop
+into boiling water and cook gently five minutes. Drain and put into
+soup tureen. Pour over boiling stock and serve with dish of finely
+grated cheese.
+
+
+
+Cream of Tomato Soup
+
+  2 tablespoonfuls flour
+  1-1/2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1 cupful milk
+  2-1/2 cupfuls strained tomato juice
+  1 teaspoonful celery salt
+  Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
+  Pinch baking soda
+  1 tablespoonful tomato catsup
+
+Blend Crisco and flour together in saucepan over fire, add milk and
+bring to boiling point. Heat tomato juice, tomato catsup and add soda
+and seasonings. Just before serving add Crisco mixture to tomato juice
+and stir till boiling. Serve hot. Another method, is to cook 1 quart
+can of tomatoes with 1 quart of water twenty minutes, then rub through
+sieve. Blend 2 tablespoonfuls Crisco with 2 tablespoonfuls flour, add
+1 tablespoonful sugar, salt, pepper, and red pepper to taste, and 1
+tablespoonful tomato catsup. Add pinch of baking soda to tomatoes,
+then add gradually to Crisco mixture. Just bring to boiling point and
+serve with tablespoonful whipped cream on top of each plate.
+
+
+
+Fish Soup
+
+  1 lb. cod, or other white fish
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1 quart white stock, or half milk and half water
+  1 small carrot
+  1 small onion
+  1 stalk celery
+  3 parsley sprigs
+  1 blade mace
+  2 egg yolks
+  1/2 cupful cream
+  1 lemon
+  2 tablespoonfuls flour
+  1 teaspoonful chopped parsley
+
+  Dry toast
+
+Wash and dry fish and cut into small pieces. Put into saucepan with
+stock, vegetables cut in small pieces, parsley and mace. Let these
+simmer for half hour, then strain off liquid. Melt Crisco in pan, stir
+in flour, then add fish liquor and stir till it boils. Draw it to the
+side of fire and let cool slightly. Beat yolks of eggs with cream,
+and, when soup has cooled, strain them in. Reheat soup without boiling
+it, to cook eggs. Season, and add few drops lemon juice and chopped
+parsley. Serve with small pieces of dry toast.
+
+
+
+Lentil Soup
+
+  1 cupful lentils
+  2 cupfuls milk
+  3 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  3 pints stock or water
+  1 onion
+  1 carrot
+  2 stalks celery
+  1 tablespoonful flour
+  1 bay leaf
+  Salt and pepper to taste
+  1/4 cupful cream
+  Croutons
+
+Wash lentils; soak twenty-four hours; drain well. Cut onion, carrot
+and celery into small pieces, then put them into a saucepan with
+Crisco, cover, and cook gently for fifteen minutes. Add stock and
+simmer 2 hours, then rub through sieve. Return to pan, add milk,
+seasonings, and bring to boil. Moisten flour with 1/2 cupful milk or
+stock, add it to soup and simmer five minutes. Season to taste and add
+cream. Serve with croutons of fried or toasted bread.
+
+Lentils are a small leguminous seed, not so generally known as beans,
+but an excellent nitrogenous food, containing about 25 per cent.
+protein, more than 50 per cent. starch, with over 2 per cent. fat.
+They are not used as much as they ought to be.
+
+Croutons are made by cutting bread into tiny cubes and browning
+through and through in hot oven or putting into a frying pan with 2
+tablespoonfuls Crisco and browning well. If latter is used great care
+must be used as the croutons will brown easily.
+
+
+
+Lobster Bisque
+
+  1 can lobster
+  1 cupful breadcrumbs
+  1 quart milk
+  1 quart water
+  1 tablespoonful flour
+  1/4 cupful Crisco
+  Salt, pepper, red pepper, and grated nutmeg to taste
+  Squares fried bread
+  Thin lemon slices
+
+Open a can of lobster of good quality, take out best pieces and cut
+into small squares without tearing; put them aside. Place remains of
+lobster in mortar or basin, and pound quite smooth with Crisco. Soak
+bread in water, adding flour, and seasonings, and put all on fire in
+soup pot with pounded lobster and Crisco; stir till it boils, and boil
+for fifteen minutes; then pass it through sieve, add milk and pieces
+of lobster, and return to the pot till it boils up. Serve with small
+squares of fried bread, and send thin slices of lemon to table with
+it. This is an excellent soup, and can of course be made with fresh
+lobster.
+
+
+
+Norfolk Puree
+
+  1/2 cupful barley, pearl
+  1 quart water
+  3 pints white stock
+  1/2 cupful cream
+  1 yolk of egg
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  4 tablespoonfuls cooked carrot balls
+  4 tablespoonfuls cooked peas
+  Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
+  Diced toast or fried bread
+
+Put barley into saucepan of cold water, bring to boil, let boil five
+minutes, then drain off water; this removes the slightly bitter taste.
+Now put barley into saucepan with Crisco and water, let these boil
+gently until barley is tender, drain, and rub through sieve. Add stock
+to this puree and let simmer ten minutes. Beat yolk of egg with cream
+and when soup has cooled slightly, strain them in. Stir soup over fire
+a few minutes to reheat; but be careful that it does not boil, or it
+will curdle. Season carefully, add carrot balls and peas, which should
+first be heated in a little stock or water. Serve with dice of toast
+or fried bread. If you do not possess a round vegetable cutter, cut
+the carrot into small dice. This is a particularly nourishing soup. If
+you prefer a slightly cheaper variety, use milk instead of cream, and
+if you have no white stock use milk and water in equal proportions
+instead, and cook a carrot, turnip and onion in milk and water for
+twenty or thirty minutes.

+FISH
+
+
+Fish, though not quite so nutritious or so stimulating as butcher's
+meat, is an excellent article of diet, as it is light and easy of
+digestion and well suited to delicate persons and those following
+sedentary occupations, who generally do not take exercise in the fresh
+air. 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+_To bone fish._ 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.
+
+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.

+If possible choose a crab with large claws. Boil crab in boiling
+salted water for thirty minutes, take up and break off large and small
+claws. Lay crab on its back, pull back the flap under its body, pull
+it right out and commence to remove flesh from shell. Take care that
+the little bag near head, usually full of sand, is taken out. Throw
+away all bone and finny pieces. The flesh is of two kinds, some firm
+and white, rest soft and dark. Separate former into little shreds with
+a fork, also the white meat from claws, which must be cracked in order
+to obtain it. Mix dark soft substance with crumbs, add oil, vinegar,
+and seasonings to taste. Toss shredded white meat also in a little
+seasoning, but keep the two kinds separate. When shell is empty
+wash and dry well. Fill shell with the two mixtures, arranging them
+alternately, so that they appear in dark and white stripes. Have it
+heaped a little higher in center. Decorate meat with lines of finely
+chopped parsley, and force the Crisco round edge with a forcing bag
+and tube. Place crab on some crisp lettuce leaves. Arrange some of the
+small claws in a circle round shell.

+
+Cookery is a branch of applied chemistry. 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 _rationale_ of the cook's
+art chiefly depends. Good cooking can make any meat tender, and bad
+cooking can make any meat tough.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.

+
+Fried Sweetbreads
+
+  Sweetbreads
+  Egg
+  Breadcrumbs
+  Crisco
+  Peas or new Potatoes
+  Rich brown gravy
+
+Sweetbreads should always be blanched before using. To blanch, soak in
+cold water two hours, changing water 3 or 4 times. Put into saucepan,
+cover with cold water, add little salt, and skim well as water comes
+to boil. Simmer from ten to thirty minutes, according to kind of
+sweet-bread used. Remove to basin of cold water until cold, or wash
+well in cold water and press between two plates till cold. Dry, remove
+skin, cut in slices, coat with beaten egg and toss in breadcrumbs, and
+fry in hot Crisco to a golden brown. Serve round peas or new potatoes,
+with rich brown gravy.
+
+For those whose digestions are at fault, sweetbreads ought to be eaten
+as a daily ration if the pocketbook will afford it. For this special
+part of the animal's anatomy is that one of all the viscera whose
+mission is to help digestion. It is of the very pancreas itself, that
+stomach gland of marvelously involved structure which elaborates the
+powerful pancreatic juice. It is alkaline in nature, able to digest
+starches, fats, and most of what escapes digestion in the stomach
+proper. It received its name from a fancied resemblance in its
+substance and formation to the rising lumps of dough destined for
+bread.

+VEGETABLES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+In the vegetable kingdom the cereals form a very important part of our
+diet, by supplying chiefly the carbohydrates or heat giving matter.
+Another nutritious group termed pulse, are those which have their seed
+enclosed in a pod. The most familiar are peas, beans, and lentils;
+peas and beans are eaten in the green or unripe state as well as in
+the dried. Vegetables included in the pulse group are very nourishing
+if they can be digested, they contain a large amount of flesh forming
+matter, usually a fair amount of starch, but are deficient in fat.
+Peas and beans also contain sulphur and tend to produce flatulence
+when indulged in by those of weak digestion. Lentils contain less
+sulphur, and do not produce this complaint so readily.
+
+The more succulent vegetables include tubers, as potatoes and
+Jerusalem artichokes, leaves, stems, and bulbs, as cabbages, spinach,
+celery, and onions, roots and flowers, as carrots, parsnips, and
+cauliflower. These are very valuable on account of the mineral matter,
+chief of which are the potash salts, so necessary to keep the blood in
+a healthy condition.
+
+Care should be taken in cooking vegetables not to lose the salts.
+Steaming is preferable to boiling, by preserving the juices, though it
+does not tend to improve the color of green vegetables. A little lemon
+juice added to the water in which new potatoes are boiling improves
+their color. Mint is sometimes cooked with new potatoes. To secure a
+good color in vegetables when cooked, careful cleaning and preparation
+before cooking is essential. Earthy roots, such as potatoes, turnips,
+and carrots, must be both well scrubbed and thoroughly rinsed in clean
+water before peeling. From all vegetables, coarse or discolored leaves
+and any dark or decayed spots should be carefully removed before
+cooking.
+
+Potatoes should be peeled thinly, or, if new, merely brushed or rubbed
+with a coarse cloth to get the skin off. Turnips should be thickly
+peeled, as the rind in these is hard and woody. Carrots and salsify,
+unless very old, need scraping only. After the removal of the skin,
+all root vegetables (except those of the onion kind) should be put in
+cold water till wanted. Potatoes, artichokes, and salsify especially,
+must not remain a moment out of water after peeling, or they will turn
+a dark color, and to the water used for the two last, a little salt
+and lemon juice should be added in order to keep them white.
+
+Root vegetables should be boiled with the lid of the pan on, green
+vegetables should be boiled with the lid of the pan off, for the
+preservation of the color.
+
+
+

+
+
+SALADS
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Salads are classified into two groups--i.e., the raw, such as lettuce,
+endive, radishes, cucumber, celery, etc., and the cooked, such as
+those made from cooked vegetables, eggs, cooked cold fish, poultry,
+and meat. The raw materials should be washed most carefully and well
+cleaned before mixing, and the utensils for cutting and mixing, as
+well as the basins or bowls used, should be clean and dry. Every
+salad, no matter how plain and simple it may be, should be made to
+look inviting and tempting. The method of draining or drying is a very
+easy performance so long as the salad leaves, whatever they may be,
+are almost free from moisture. 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.
+
+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. Those made with
+chicken, lobster and salmon respectively are most widely known, but
+fillets of flounder, cold ham or beef, or lamb make very good salads,
+and even the humble herring, and dried and salted fish, may be used
+with advantage in this way.
+
+The meat or fish should be cut up into cubes or convenient small
+pieces, and piled up in the center of the dish or salad bowl on a
+layer of seasoned, shredded lettuce. Over this should be poured half
+of the dressing. Round this should be arranged the green constituents
+of the salad, cut up rather small, garnished with slices of tomato
+or beets, cucumber and hard-cooked egg. The remainder of the dressing
+should be poured over this, and the top of the meat or fish pyramid
+may be ornamented with a few sprigs of endive or parsley.

+
+PUDDINGS
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Puddings as a rule either are boiled, steamed or baked. 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.
+
+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.
+
+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
+over when it comes to boil, put spoon in saucepan. Never leave spoon
+in saucepan if you wish the contents to cook quickly, and in any case
+a metal spoon never should be allowed to stand in a boiling saucepan
+containing fruit or any acid.

+SANDWICHES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+If the slices of bread have to be spread with butter or with a paste
+it should be done before they are cut off. The slices should not be
+cut thicker than an eighth of an inch. When butter is used there must
+just be enough of it for us to know in some mysterious fashion that
+it is there. Every scrap of a sandwich should be eatable. Sandwiches
+usually are served on folded napkins, and arranged in circles, so
+that one overlaps the other. It is well to lay a damp napkin over the
+sandwiches, if they are not wanted immediately, in order to keep them
+moist. To make superior sandwich butter, work one cupful of butter
+in a basin with a clean and dry wooden spoon until soft; then add by
+degrees half a cupful of whipped cream, seasoning of salt and mustard,
+and put it in a cool place until required.

+
+PASTRIES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+There are two principal divisions, within which all varieties may be
+included, viz:
+
+1. Short or plain pastries.
+
+2. Flaky pastries.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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 deg. F. to 340 deg. F. The great heat quickly will
+cause the starch grains to burst and absorb the fat, otherwise the
+pastry will be heavy.
+
+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.
+See that the oven is clean.
+
+
+
+Plain Crisco Pastry
+
+  1-1/2 cupfuls flour
+  1/2 cupful Crisco
+  1/2 teaspoonful salt
+  Cold water
+
+Sift flour and salt and cut Crisco into flour with knife until finely
+divided. Finger tips may be used to finish blending materials. Add
+gradually sufficient water to make stiff paste. Water should be added
+sparingly and mixed with knife through dry ingredients. Form lightly
+and quickly with hand into dough; roll out on slightly floured
+board, about one-quarter inch thick. Use light motion in handling
+rolling-pin, and roll from center outward.
+
+Sufficient for one small pie.
+
+
+
+The New Crisco Pastry
+
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  3/4 cupful Crisco
+  1 egg
+  1 tablespoonful lemon juice
+  Sufficient cold water to hold mixture together
+  3/4 teaspoonful salt
+
+Sift flour and salt into basin. Flour blade of knife, and chop Crisco
+into flour, being careful to keep flour between blade of knife and
+shortening. When mixture looks like meal, add gradually, egg well
+beaten and mixed with lemon juice. Roll pastry into ball with knife.
+May be used at once, but will be improved if allowed to stand in cool
+place for one hour. Should be rolled out once and handled as lightly
+as possible. May be used for sweet or savory dishes. Bake in hot oven.
+The purpose of the addition of lemon is to render gluten of flour more
+ductile, so that it will stretch rather than break as paste is rolled
+out, or as it rises in oven.
+
+Sufficient for two pies.
+
+
+
+Tip Top Pastry
+
+  1/2 teaspoonful salt
+  1-1/2 teaspoonfuls baking powder
+  2-1/4 cupfuls flour
+  1/2 cupful Crisco
+  Cold water
+  1 teaspoonful lemon juice
+
+Sift and mix together flour, salt, and baking powder. Rub in Crisco
+with finger tips. Chill two hours. Then take out 1/2 cupful, and
+to remainder add lemon juice and cold water gradually to make stiff
+paste. Knead lightly and roll into long narrow strip. Sprinkle dough
+with half of reserved mixture and fold so as to make 3 layers. Turn
+half way round, roll again into strip, sprinkle with rest of mixture
+and fold as before. Roll and fold twice more, and pastry is ready for
+use for cakes, puddings, or pies.
+
+Sufficient for two pies.
+
+
+
+Cornstarch Pastry
+
+  1-1/4 cupfuls cornstarch
+  1-1/4 cupfuls flour

+  1 teaspoonful baking powder
+  1 yolk of egg
+  Milk to mix
+
+Rub Crisco lightly into cornstarch and flour, add salt, sugar, baking
+powder, beaten yolk of egg, and sufficient milk to mix to stiff paste.
+Roll out lightly and use for tartlets or one crust pie.
+
+Sufficient for two large pies.
+
+
+
+Double Pie
+
+  Top Layer
+
+  1 cupful sugar
+  1 cupful sweet milk
+  2 eggs
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  1/2 cupful Crisco
+  2 teaspoonfuls baking powder
+  1/2 teaspoonful salt
+
+
+  Under Layer
+
+  1 cupful molasses
+  1 cupful brown sugar
+  1 pint hot water
+  Plain Crisco Pastry
+  1 lemon
+  1 egg
+  2 tablespoonfuls flour
+
+Line large pie plate with pastry.
+
+_For under layer._ Mix sugar with flour, add molasses, egg well
+beaten, grated lemon rind, and hot water, and pour into prepared pie
+plate.
+
+_For top layer._ Cream Crisco and sugar together, add eggs well
+beaten, milk, salt, flour, and baking powder. Spread mixture over
+under layer and bake in hot oven thirty-five minutes.
+
+Sufficient for two large pies.
+
+
+
+Almond Layer Pie
+
+  For Pastry
+
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  7 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1/2 teaspoonful salt
+  Water
+
+
+  For Filling
+
+  6 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  3/4 cupful sugar
+  1 lemon
+  3 eggs
+  1/2 cupful blanched powdered almonds
+  1/4 teaspoonful salt
+
+Make short crust of Crisco, flour, salt, and water. Roll out thin, and
+line Criscoed pie plate with piece of paste.
+
+_For filling._ Cream Crisco and sugar together, add eggs well beaten,
+almonds, salt, grated rind and one tablespoonful lemon juice. Mix well
+and spread one-half of mixture on to pastry. Then cover with a layer
+of pastry, the rest of mixture, and lastly cover with pastry. Bake in
+a moderate oven until brown. Or the pastry may be rolled out, brushed
+over with melted Crisco, the mixture spread over it, and rolled up
+to form a roly-poly. Lay on a Criscoed tin and bake in moderate oven
+until brown.
+
+Sufficient for one large pie.
+
+
+
+Flake Pastry No. 1
+
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  8 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  3/4 teaspoonful salt
+  Just enough cold water to hold dough together
+
+Sift flour and salt and cut half the Crisco into flour with knife
+until it is finely divided. The finger tips may be used to finish
+blending materials. Then add water sparingly, mixing it with knife
+through dry materials. Form with the hand into dough and roll out on a
+floured board to quarter inch thickness. Spread one-third of remaining
+Crisco on two-thirds of dough nearest you; fold twice, to make three
+layers, folding in first that part on which Crisco has not been
+spread. Turn dough, putting folded edges to the sides; roll out,
+spread and fold as before. Repeat once more. Use a light motion in
+handling rolling-pin, and roll from center outward. Should Crisco be
+too hard, it will not mix readily with flour, in which case the result
+will be a tough crust.
+
+Sufficient for two covered pies.
+
+
+
+Flake Pastry No. 2
+
+  1/2 teaspoonful salt
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  1/2 cupful Crisco
+  Cold water
+
+Mix salt with flour; divide Crisco into four equal parts, rub in one
+of these only, and then mix to stiff paste with a little cold water.
+Shape into neat oblong piece, and roll into straight strip about three
+times as long as it is broad. All over this put on, with the point of
+knife, one of remaining quarters of Crisco, distributing it evenly in
+little dabs about size of a pea, so that they look like buttons on
+a card. Now flour surface lightly and fold paste exactly in three by
+taking hold of the two bottom corners and doubling them upwards from
+you and then of the top corners and doubling them downwards towards
+you. Turn now at right angles to its former position so as to have
+open ends pointing towards you. Press these quickly together with
+the roller to inclose some air, and press paste across also in two or
+three places, making little ridges, thus preventing air which has been
+shut in, from forming into large bubble. Roll out again, and repeat
+till remaining two parts of Crisco have thus been used. At the last
+rolling, bring to required thickness; and if it needs widening as well
+as lengthening, turn it at right angles to its former position, and
+roll straight across it as before, a rule which, with flaky pastry,
+should always be observed, since, unlike the short pastries, its
+lightness suffers if rolled obliquely to the direction in which it has
+been folded.
+
+Sufficient for two small pies.
+
+
+
+Puff Pastry
+
+  1 teaspoonful salt
+  1 cupful Crisco
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  1 yolk of egg
+  2 teaspoonfuls lemon juice
+  Cold water
+
+Measure Crisco and set in cold place to chill it. Sift flour and salt
+into basin, and add lemon juice. Take a quarter of the Crisco, and rub
+it lightly into flour with finger tips until there are no lumps left.
+Beat yolk of egg and add a little cold water, then add them to the
+flour, making them into a stiffish dough. Turn this on to floured
+board, and work well with hands until it will no longer stick to
+fingers and forms a perfectly smooth dough. Form into oblong piece and
+roll out to about half inch thickness. The Crisco to be used should be
+as nearly, as possible of same consistency as the paste.
+
+Form it into neat flat cake, and place in center of pastry. Fold
+up rather loosely, and flat the folds with rolling-pin. Place in
+refrigerator for ten minutes. Then roll out pastry into long narrow
+strip, being careful that Crisco does not get through. Fold exactly
+in three, press down folds, and lay aside in cool place or in
+refrigerator fifteen minutes. This is called giving the pastry one
+"turn" and seven of these is the number required for this pastry. The
+next time the pastry is rolled, place it with the joins at your right
+hand side, and open end's towards you. Give two "turns" this time,
+and again set aside in cool place for at least fifteen minutes.
+Repeat this until pastry has had seven rolls in all. The object of the
+cooling between the rolls is to keep Crisco and flour in distinct and
+separate layers, in which it is the function of the rolling-pin and
+folding to arrange them, and on which the lightness of the pastry
+depends.
+
+When rolling, keep the pressure of the two hands as equal as possible.
+If the pastry becomes rounded, it shows that there is more pressure
+being done on the rounded side than the other. After it has received
+its last roll, it is better to be laid aside before using, then rolled
+to the thickness required.
+
+Sufficient for two pies.
+

+Have Crisco cold and firm. Sift flour and salt into basin, add Crisco
+and cut into pieces one inch square. Beat up egg, add lemon juice
+and a very little cold water, then add them gradually into other
+ingredients making them into a stiff paste. Roll in a long piece on
+floured board, fold in three, turn rough edges toward you and roll
+out again, continuing this for five times. Place in refrigerator or in
+cool place ten minutes between each rolling. This pastry may be used
+at once for all kinds of sweet or savory pies, but it is improved by
+standing for a few hours in a cool place. Bake in hot oven. Sufficient
+for two covered pies.

+BREADS &c.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+The usual method of making bread is to ferment dough with yeast;
+the latter acts upon certain constituents in the flour ultimately
+producing a gas which permeates the dough. 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 deg. 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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Yeast is a fungoid growth, a microscopic plant capable of starting a
+fermentation in various substances. It grows 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.
+
+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.
+
+Second. It is used to save labor. When a richer mixture be made it
+requires to be well beaten to mix in air. Baking powder often is added
+to save some of the otherwise necessary beating.

+Baking Powder Biscuits
+
+  2 cupfuls flour
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  2 teaspoonfuls baking powder[A]
+  1 teaspoonful salt
+  Milk
+
+Mix and sift twice dry ingredients. Work in Crisco with finger tips,
+add gradually milk, mixing with knife to soft dough. Toss on floured
+board; pat and roll to one-half inch thickness. Shape with biscuit
+cutter. Place on Criscoed tin and bake in hot oven twelve minutes. To
+have good biscuits dough should be handled as little as possible, just
+enough to get in shape to cut. Milk or water used for mixing should
+be very cold, and biscuits should be gotten into oven at once after
+adding liquid to flour. If top of each biscuit is lightly brushed over
+with melted Crisco before baking, crust will be much nicer. Sufficient
+for fifteen biscuits.
+
+[Footnote A: Amount of baking powder may be increased if especially
+raised biscuits are desired. 2 teaspoonfuls, however, is most
+healthful amount.]

+
+CAKES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+There are five principal ways of making cakes.
+
+The first method is used for plain cakes. 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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. _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._ 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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, 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.
+
+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.

+VEGETARIAN DISHES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Even those who are by no means decided vegetarians may be glad to pass
+over a dinner occasionally without meat. 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.
+
+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.
+
+Crisco is entirely vegetable.
+
+
+
+Bean Cutlets
+
+  2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
+  1 tablespoonful flour
+  1/2 cupful bean liquor
+  Salt and pepper to taste
+  2 eggs
+  1/4 lb. dried beans
+  A few cooked mixed vegetables
+  Breadcrumbs
+
+Soak beans in water twenty-four hours, then boil for several hours
+till quite tender, drain them, preserving liquor, chop them 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. Then cut out with cutlet-cutter or shape with knife;
+dip in beaten whites of the eggs, then in fine breadcrumbs, repeat
+a second time, and fry in hot Crisco. Serve on hot platter decorated
+with a few hot cooked mixed vegetables. Sufficient for eight cutlets.
+
+[Illustration]

+fire till quite dry. Remove all green parts and press flower through
+a potato ricer upon a hot dish, on which they are to be served. In
+no way crush the mass as it falls from the ricer. Sprinkle over with
+melted Crisco. Surround dish with poached eggs, each laid upon square
+of toasted buttered bread. Dust each egg with salt and a little
+paprika. Serve very hot.

+that air may mix with it and Crisco is not made too soft. Add lemon
+juice and sufficient water to make stiff paste. Divide into two equal
+pieces. Wet a dinner plate with cold water and leave it wet. Roll
+out one of the pieces rather thinly, and line plate with it. Sprinkle
+cakecrumbs over it, then spread on mixture. Roll out the other piece
+of pastry for a cover. Wet round the edge of the pastry, lay other
+piece of pastry on, and press edges well together. Trim round with
+knife or scissors, and mark neatly round the edges. Brush over top

+
+EGGS
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+When there is any doubt as to the freshness of eggs, they may be
+tested in various ways. 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.
+
+When used as food, eggs should be cooked at a low temperature--about
+160 deg. F., or if in the shell at about 180 deg. 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.
+If too much cooked, or at too high a temperature, the white becomes
+tough, hard, and to many people, indigestible.
+
+When required for salads, garnishing, etc., the eggs must be boiled
+from ten to twenty minutes, and if the yolks are to be powdered for
+sprinkling, they must be cooked for a longer time, or the centers will
+be somewhat tough and elastic, and useless for the purpose.
+
+In beating eggs, a little salt added to the whites helps to bring them
+to a froth more quickly. When frothed whites are to be mixed with a
+heavier or more solid substance, great care must be taken not to
+break down the froth. The object of beating being to mix in air, rough
+handling afterwards would render the beating useless; the mixing must
+therefore be done very carefully. They should be folded or wrapped up
+in the other substance, but the mixing also must be thorough, for
+any pieces of white separated from the rest will toughen and taste
+leathery, besides failing in the special purpose of giving lightness
+to the mixture. After mixing lightly and perfectly all such
+preparations should be cooked at once. The white "speck" always should
+be removed from a broken egg, as it is easily distinguished after
+cooking, and in anything of a liquid nature, such as custards, sauces,
+etc., it would be hard and unpleasant.

+CANDIES
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+It is well to have a confectioner's thermometer for candy making,
+so that the syrup may be removed from the fire at exactly the right
+degree. Such thermometers are made of wood, brass, or copper, and the
+degrees on them should mark not less than 350 deg.. 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.
+
+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 deg. F. to 218 deg. 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.
+
+The next is the "pearl" (220 deg. 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 deg. 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 deg. 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.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Next comes the "ball" (240 deg. F. to 250 deg. 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. This in turn is succeeded by the "crack"
+(290 deg. F. to 300 deg. F.) To test this, drop a little of the syrup into
+cold water; if it then breaks off sharp and crisp it has reached the
+crack. The final stage is the "caramel" (350 deg. F.) which comes very
+quickly after the crack, the syrup becoming first a pale yellow, and
+then a rich golden brown, and finally black or burnt. When it first
+reaches this stage the pan should be removed from the fire, a little
+lemon juice or water added, and then the whole reboiled to the proper
+stage or shade. To prevent granulation, it often is advisable to add a
+pinch of cream of tartar, to the pound of sugar.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER

+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
