When Food Burns.

with too many irons in the fire
some will burn" This old adage often
proves too true to the busy housewife,
She has forgotten to add water to
the cooking food, and the odor Of the
burning meat. vegetable or fruit re-
minds her of the fact.
When this happens quickly seize the
pot from the range and immerse 1t
in a vessel containing cold water.
The steam will escape from the out
side instead Of passing upward through
the food.
Place the food in another pan and
continue cooking or dress to serve.
The most critical person cannot de-
tect burnt taste in the food. This is
a suggestion worth trying
