In purchasing meat for stewing. YOU may

been most action The legs although per

beef Pieces from the round chuck or up
/ per portion of the shank are all good. The
meat should have some bone and fat. Cold
| meat makes most excellent stew, as the
roasting or broilng it has already gone
through tends to improve the flavor.
In preparing your meat you must first
wash it, Take a clean cloth, wet it with
cold water and wipe your meat carefully.
Remember that cold water extracts the
juices, and all such losses must be guarded
against. Cut your meat in small pieces,
take off superhuous fat and bone, and keep
the bone for the bottom of the kettle il
will prevent the meat from sticking or
burning To pound Of beef you will re-
quire one quart of cold water. Put the
bones in the kettle, and also the ragged
poorer bits Of meat that some of the juice,
may escape into the water which is to form
your gravy then put the kettle on tn,
fire.
The meat which you have cut in SINAI
pieces should now be well dredged witt
