Great System Perfected by M.
S0yer, Famous London Chef.
MY EXPERIMENTS WITH PAPER
BAG COOKERY.
BY Martha MccuIIoch Williams.

by Martina McCulloch Williams,
When Soyer's paper bag method of
cooking was first brought to my at
tention by friends, who, rightly or
wrongly, seem to have a high opinion
of my abilities as a cook, l admit
that l was skeptical of it's practical
bility. Indeed, was more than that
l was rather firm in my belief that it
could not prove out. But | was in
duced to put the system to a trial
and, 10 and behold!-the very first
trial made me an enthusiastic follow
er of NJ. Soyer Since then l have
been doing all my cooking by the
Soyer method, and each succeeding
day more than ever convinces me
that any woman, simply by following
Soyer's general directions, and using
that good common sense and care
which are essential to all good cook
ing, can master the Soyer paper bag
method of cooking in very short
time, and will find it great boon
both to herself and to all the men,
bers of her household.
Following M. Soyer's general direc-
tons for paper bag cookery, speed
lily learned that there are sundry com
mandments to be observed while pur-
suing his method of cooking.
The first and greatest of these is
to get the right bag, which is made
specially for cooking, is parafned,
odorless even when crumbly-crisp.
sanitary and to be had in sizes big
enough to hold a Thanksgiving tur-
key, or tiny enough for single chop.
Next, nearly as important, is to
grease the bag inside literally, using
butter, lard, oil, drippings or very
fat rind of bacon.
Further, proportion your bag-size
to what it is destined to hold. The
closer the fit of bag and contents,
the better, and the more even and
compact the lay of the food, the less
trouble in handling.
Use a footed wire broiler, or very
open grid-shelf, in the oven. All pa
per bag cooking is done in the oven.
If gas oven, it must be lighted eight
to ten minutes before putting in the
food and kept at blazing heat until
the bag corners scorch lightly; then
slacken the heat third or even half
throughout the rest of the time of
cooking
Be sure to lay the bags in the oven
with the seam uppermost. especially
if water has been put inside. Seams
will steam open now and then-if the
opening is downward there will be a
leakage and much bother
Finally, it is important to remem-
Der that all manipulation, seasoning
and fayoring Of food must be at
tended to before it is put in bags.
There can be no stirring or tossing
in the course of paper bag cooking.
Nor must a bag be opened at any
time during cooking; such action is
absolutely unnecessary if directions
are faithfully followed.

A PAPER BAG DINNER.
BY M. soyer, Chef of Brooks Club,
London.

BY M. soyer, Chef of Brooks Club,
London.
Roast Beef, Round, Ribs, or Sir
Ioin.-Grease we'll with drippings, but
do not season. Put in bag, lay on a
wire broiler, and cook in a moderate
oven. For three-pound joint allow
forty-tive minutes; for seven-pound,
one hour and twenty minutes.
Lima Beans.-Take a quart of Lima
| beans, add two ounces of butter, four
ounces of diced ham, a little sugar
and salt good teaspoonful of flour,
and few sweet herbs to taste. Put
in a paper bag with half pint of
water, seal up, and cook for an hour
in moderate oven.
Baked Potatoes.-Thoroughly wash
twelve good-sized potatoes. Make a
few small Sits in them, but do not
peel. Place in a paper bag, with one
tablespoonful of water. Seal and cook
thirty-fve to fifty minutes, according
to size.
Tomatoes.-Place six tomatoes in
boiling water for twenty-five seconds.
Peel, butter your paper bag, put in
tomatoes with salt, pepper, a suspi-
cion of sugar, and small piece of
butter. Put the bag on the broiler
after sealing, and cook for twelve
minutes in a hot oven.
Apples la Duchesse.-Wash and
dry ten large apples. Core them, put
stick-cinnamon-only bit-in the
place of each core, and pour over
them a tablespoonful of rum. Put in
a buttered bag, and bake on the
broiler thirty minutes. When quite
done, dish up, remove the cinnamon,
and fill the centers with jam-straw-
berry, raspberry, or apricot. Cover
with stiffly whipped cream, sprinkle
with chopped nuts, and serve, or set
on ice till wanted. Use sweet apples
end let them cool before adding the
jam and cream.
Light the gas range eight minutes
before beginning to cook, or open the
draughts so the coal range will be
not. Put the roast on first, upon the
lowest shelf. Put the apples upon
the upper shelf, so as to leave room
for the tomatoes beside them. AS
soon as the tomatoes are done, re-
move, set the bag in a plate, and
stand where it will keep hot. Put
the Lima beans in the vacant place
and when the apples are done, re-
nose them and put on the potatoes.
Thus, you will be able to have the
cooking come out even, also to chill
and season your apples before sitting
down to table.
