Open Secrets in Cookery.

Both doctors and epicures agree upon
rare meats-the former for digestion.
the latter for taste, and that all meats
and game are the better for slight cook
ing, with the exception OF veal and pork
that they do not recommend at all.
1t is quite common, now, for the ply
stefan to order a sandwich of raw beef
that is, a slice of uncoOked beef,
minced fine, seasoned-and spre-1 be-
tween two thin slices of bread-as far
more nourishing for weak digestions
than cooked meats. 1t is only the idea
of rawnsss, it seems, that is in the way.
and not the taste, as when it is out of
sight most people can learn to like this
rarest of beef. The same reason that
ordains the juices must run in the leg
of mutton when the knife goes in, and
that the game must only lily past" the
kitchen fire. is behind this, and herein
is why broiled meats are SO delicate and
palatable.
The outside is so quickly cooked that
the juices within are not affected by
the fire. Just what happens to milk
when it is boiled, the thickening of the
skin on top, and what is seen also in a
hard-boiled egg, occurs in meats; the
albumen-the nourishing quality-is
hardened and toughened when meat is
too long exposed to heat. So the care
full housewife who puts her meat in the
oven early, well sailed, and watches it
from time to time as all the juice
draws out of it with the salt and the
heat, until hard brown round or rib
is ready to be put on the table, has
really extracted from the meat almost
all its nourishment, and gives the fam
ily mass of dried fibers to chew
This also explains why much (and
most) frying spoils good meat. The
surprise as a French cook saws, is
the main thing. You must have a hot
oven for whatever is to be roasted, and
Il bed of very hot Goals for 'broiling, or
fat that is hot enough to send up
blue smoke for whatever is to be fried.
Then the outside is Immediately har-
dened over, and the rest of the
process must depend upon the size of
the piece. The trouble with most fry
ing is that the fat is not hot, the meat,
or fish, or mush, or oysters are left to
sizzle long time, until they gradually
brown, by which time they are dry and
tasteless. But the sudden plunge into
smoking-not burning--fat, which the
quick change of color on the surface
shows, keeps all the taste and fresh
ness in the article to be cooked So
with all roasts-a very hot oven at
first, and no seasoning until the meat
browns, keeps the juices intact. But
the joints must not be suffered to burn,
and the oven must be cooled off little
