There are two things every cook must
realize if he or7she wishes to succeed.
One is that stewing and Sinlmering are
not synonymous terms for boiling A
thermometer will soon show the differ
ence between the two processes. Boil
ing point is not reached under two hun
dred and twelve degrees Fahrenheit.
whereas simmering requires only one
hundred and eighty degrees. Now meat
once cooked should never, let it be
heated how you will, be allowed te
reach boiling point. Il. itdoes it is
spoiled simply, and becomes. as nutri
| tious and as digestible as a bit OF shoe
leather. Fact the second is that frying
means just boiling, using lard, oila but
ter, or any fat you please instead of wa.
ter. To fry any thing it should be thor
oughly covered by the boiling lard,
which should be kept up to boiling
point during the whole process. Now
this is not so extravagant as it sounds
for the same frying material may be
used over and over again. = GGstro7ao.
