HOW TO COOK MEAT.
Oven Rules Determined by Scientific
investigations.

Oven Rules Determined by Scientific
Investigation.
The cook book compilnrs have
adopted certain empirical laws regu-
lating the cooking of meat. but as
these are largely the result Of casual
o''serva ton. they do not accurately
represent the facts. says the Philadel-
phia Kecord For several years the
University Of Illinois, WORKING in co
operation with the State experiment
station has been studying the question
Of losses in cooking different kinds
and cuts of meat. consequent changes
in its nutritive value. the development
of flavor etc. and the results of their
experimentation have just been pub
ished by the government.
AS regards temperature, authorities
OF cookery agree quite generally that
meat should be subjected at once to
degree of heat which will scar the
outside of the roast. SO that the juices
may be retained. The experiments
just concluded show that with oven
temperatures ranging from lS2 to 900
degrees Fahrenheit the losses in
weight. due principally to the evap-
Grafton of water. varied from q 10 20
per cent. and. generally speaking the
higher the temperature the greater
the loss.
However. in order to develop the
characteristic favors of cooked meat
temperature of at least 4S2 degrees
Fahrenheit Is necessary. When meat
Is baked for short time at a very
high temperature-5OO degrees-the
outside layer is apt to be overdone
and the center too rare for use. When
baked slowly. at a comparatively low
tt mpera ture, the roast Is evenly cook
ed throughout and the juices we'll re-
tanned. but the savoriness and flavor
produced by higher temperatures are
lacking. In regard to the length Of
time required to attain any desired
degree of cooking. as indicated by the
color. 1t was found that thirteen mill
utes per pound and thirteen minutes

pound produced the degree Of cooking
known al medium" Twenty minutes

gave that degree known as well

ment is an important one as regards
the degree of cooking and the losses
incurred in the process.
The effect Of different shapes and
sizes of pans was also observed.
Closed pans. while effectng saving
in weight. produced a meat Of inferior
flavor and lacking in attractive ap-
pearance The average loss in large
number of experiments was abou:
One-sixth the original weight The
color and flavor of the drippings ap-
pear to be influenced considerably by
the area of the pan. the smaller area
giving the lighter colored drippings.
