WEEKLY COOKING LESSON

By coRNELIA C. BEDFORD.

Stewing Is a method OF cooking meat
IN water, the object being 10 have only
a portion of the nutriment extracted by
the water. the remainder being retained
In the meat.
This is accomplished by using less
water than in soup making; by raising
the temperature moro rapidly TO the
boiling point. then cooking at a moder-
ate heat for several hours.
Fierce boiling may so break the con
nective tissue as 20 cause the meat 10
fall apart In strings and so be appar
entity tender. but each string or fibre
is really tough. Slow cooking at a
moderate heat softens the gelatinous
portions and renders the nutritive mat
ter more digestible.
Cheap pieces Of meat from the flank

beef or the neck. shoulder. and
be used for stews; also veal. tough
fowl. and game. Meat which has some
fat and gristIe makes a richer stew.
Vegetables. such as onions. carrots,
turnips. and potatoes may also be used.
A dumping is a small ball or portion
Of dough dumped or dropped quickly
into the boiling stew. There should be
only liquid sufficient TO come nearly to
the top Of the meat and vegetables that
the dumplinss may not sink and so lose
