The charge that fried food is indi-
pestible and therefore harmful is true
only when articles are improperly fried
Rightly done frying is no more harm
full than any other mode of cookery;
indeed it is more wholesome because
food that is full of flavor and crisp and
rich pleases the eye and the palate, and
this we all know is big step toward
good digestion.
The trouble is that too many cooks
think they are frying food when they
two of fat. This is not frying but
browning or sauteing. 1t is useful
when preparing vegetables for stews.
for the preliminary step toward a
fricasee, and other similar things, but
it is not true frying.
To fry means to immerse every part
of the food in deep fat that is hot
enough to cook from the moment the
food is put in. IF the temperature is
right, the hot fat immed lately forms
an impenetrable coat that browns with
the process of cooking, but through
which the hot fat cannot seep
To fry you must provide yourself
with a wire basket and an iron kettle
in which the basket will fit and suffi-
cient frying material to cover what
ever you intend to cook.
Good country lard is hard to i'm
prove upon when it comes to selecting
a frying medium, but city dwellers find
that most of the lard proves to be a
compound or mixture of various fats

when the label is carefully read. Some
compounds are very good for all pur
poses that you would use lard or cook
ing oils for. but even the best vary in
quality. Therefore use one of the
American cooking oils-there are doz.
ems of them that are splendid--or buy
pork lard from some honest farmer who
never heard of sterine, or any kindred
substitutes.
As the frying fat may be used again
and again this method of cookery is not
expensive. After frying in it strain
the fat and return it to the frying ket-
tie cover and keep it in cool place.
For dough mixtures test the fat with
a crusty bit of bread. When it will
brown in 40 seconds the temperature is
right. But for croquettes and foods
that have had previous cooking, and
need only to be Drowned on the outside
and made hot through, you must have
the fat much hotter However the lard
or oil must never be allowed to smoke.
else a strong greasy flavor will attach
itself to the fried food and the cooking
will proceed too fast.
Put the articles to be fried in the
wire basket and lower it gently into
the fat. If you have to turn the cro.
quettes or crullers over use n dull
pointed fork and try not to pierce
them.
When an unmistakable doneness
shows itself in the color of the food lift
the basket out and drain the contents
on soft paper or cloth before serving.
