The Most Economical Method - Nov to
Render Tough Meat Tender.
Stewing is the most economical method
If cooking. Very little heat is required,
and so only u small amount Of fuel is used.
After it is fairly started no more time need
be spent upon it until near the hour Of
dishing. BY long continued and slow
cooking inferior and the cheapest meat
can be rendered palatable and digestible.
Nothing is wasted, meat, Vegetables and
liquor all being eaten te,cthor, every prop
erty of each being preserved in tho solid
part or in the gravy. 1t is the slowest and
therefore the most digestible method of
cooking meat
The rules of stewing are: az Allow
three quarters of a pint of stock or water
to every pound of meat and an ounce of
thickcnlng TO each pint. GU Add tho vege-
tables after the scum has been thrown up
and removed. 90 Never allow it to boil,
but only simmer gently, and keep the pot
tightly covered that none of the flavor or
heat is lost Provided the heat has never
been allowed to go beyond 165 degrees f..
the meat will be dcliciously tender and
full Of flavor.
Half an apple, sliced and stewe,l with
it, will insure its being tender, even in hot
weather when the meat cannot be hung
long. The malic acid in the apple softens
the fiber, and no flavor of the apple can be
detected in the dish. The same result NAV
be attained by pouring a spoonful of vine
gar upon it an hour or so before cooking.
Beating it well with the fiat side of a chop
per has some effect In making it tender
