CARE IN BOILING RICE.
Things to Remember If You Would
Get the Best Results.

Never set rice to cook in cold water,
or you will have thick mushy dish,
most unpleasant to the sight and
equally so 10 the taste.
Always use boiling water Boil rap
idly from the time you cover the pot
until you take il off Constant motion
OF water. allowing each grain to swell
to three times its size, prevents stick
ing together
Do not stir from the moment ii be-
gins to boil, for il will be noticed that
when first rice is put into the water
the water will cease boiling until the
rice IS heated Stir occasionally dur
ing this period to keep from sinking
10 the bottom and burning. but do not
touch with spoon. fork or anything
once it has commenced boiling.
Follow implicitly The directions
about setting in oven and allowing
rice TO sweat, as the old Creoles
say. a
You will then have a dish that IS
not only very beautiful and tempting
to the sight. but most delectable to
the taste.
