USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW.
Homely Little Rules Of Great Value In
the Kitchen.

There are some homely little rules
not distinctly new and original, but oh,
so useful! When the boiling vegeta.
BILE has caught, don't try to pry It out
OF the saucepan and take all the burnt
taste with It, but, rather, plunge the
outside OF the saucepan into cold water
n few moments; and when you loosen
the vegetables carefully with a spoon
the hardened burnt portion will re-
main in the pan.
When the small cakes In gem pans
have done just a moment too long and
seem inclined to stick to the pans. try
the same plan, only less strenuously.
Hold the under sides OF these hot lit
tie pans against wet tea towel, and
the cakes will loosen at once.
. After greasing your cake tins with
lard and before pouring in the cake
batter dredge the bottom of the tins
with flour, shaking out ak that does
not stick evenly TO the lard. Cake
batter poured In on this dry flour will
rarely stick to the pan after 1t is
baked, Wet the inside of china or tin
molds with white of the egg before
pouring in gelatin, cranberry or blanc
mango. and the hardened dessert will
not stick when you are ready TO dis
lodge II.
So many things have a disappolnt-
ing way of sticking, and the house
keeper without a long memory de.
spairs without these occasional re-
minders.
