meat-essence remaining in the frying
pan after veal, chicken or hamburg
steaks have been cooked, will fire.
quently let the contents Of the pan be
discarded, IL it were used for frying
mutton or lamb. This is on account
OF the quality OF the fat that cooks
out OF the meat, which is disagree
able to many persons. But If care
has been taken not to permit any
scorching during the frying, let cup
full Of boiling water be poured into the
pan after the meat has been removed,
and let this boil up well, stirring with
a spoon, until all traces of the meat
essence have been dissolved away
from the pan. Strain this liquid into
6n earthen or agate bowl, dash a
little cold water into it, and set aside
in cool place. In a few hours the
fat will have formed a solid cake,
and can be removed, leaving a cupful
