HOW often n hears the above re-
mark. but a great many persons
do not distinguish between greasy
things and other fried foods Too
many think they are in the same class
OF indigestibility AS a matter of fact
a properly fried dish should never be
greasy Some cooks seem to think
that any old piece OF fat will do for
frying Into the q it goes. and it Is
all melted down into a dark looking
liquid. which tastes horrid and looks
worse
Fat for frying should always be
rendered before 1t Is used. Keep your
pieces till you have enough to fill an
old jam jar about three parts ull.
Then put in water up to the top of the
jar and stand the whole thing In the
oven before you go to bed at night.
