NOT LIMITED TO THE OVEN.

All my life | have been a sort of
domestic pioneer, cutting cross lots
of tradition md usage, sometimes it
must be confessed, to my own loss,
and trouble, other times with the
happy result of finding out new and
easier ways. So after a month of pa
per-bag cooking / asked myself II l
had sounded its whole possibilities?
There was no definite answer pos
sible-so l took counsel with myself.
All about me l knew there were
folk. singly or in pairs, who liked hot
food, fresh, yet hated left-overs, who
had further great need to watch the
pennies. 1t s. med wasteful for
them either to heat whole big oven
to cook scrap OF dinner, or cook an
ovenful rather than waste heat. Fur
Their, there were ovenless folk-those
with kitchenettes only, or portable
two ring stoves, PIT in commission
at need, then whisked out of sight.
Could paper bag cooking be made use
full to them? l was going to ind out
in their behalf, and no less my own.
So, upon Saturday afternoon,
set myself to see If could solve the
ease or economy.
Looking through. my pot closet,
found cast iron skillet, not over big,
nor small, and about three inches
deep. l found also a deepish round
iron pan Just hitting the skillet-top.
Placing one upon the other there was
a space of almost five inches between
them, top and bottom. aving found
them l went out and bought wire
trivet. / bought also n exact pound
of finely chopped meat-fourteen
ounces lean veal, with two ounces OF
suet. This / shaped into ar oval fat
fish cake. sailed and reppered it well
all over the outside, then Toured 1t
literally, and overlaid the top with
thinly sliced mild onion, thickly sliced
peeled tomatoes and sundry Jumps Of
well-fioured butter. Next l put 1t in
paper bag-the biggest my skillet
would take, pinned in the corners Of
the bag after sealing it, and laid 1t
on the trivet which had been set in
the skillet before 1t was put. covered,
over gas ring on top the stove.
The skillet was sizzling hot-so hot
that a smell of scorching came forth
in about four minutes. That was the
signal to turn down the heat more
than half. Because | want my veal
always as well done as possible, be-
cause knew the tomatoes would pre-
vent any possible drying out. left
