COOK CHEAPER CUTS AND SAVE.
Cooking and Flavoring Will Help Make
Them Palatable.


Cheap cuts OF meat are easily
digested and palatable as well as eco
liomical If they are prepared in such a
way that their toughness and lack of
favor'is overcome, says the home. eco
Monies department OF Iowa State Col
lege.
Prolonged cooking at a low tembera-
ture will soften the connective tissues
and make the meat tender. Even the
old fashioned method Of pounding or
chopping the tough cuts will break the
muscle fiber and this also will make 1t
more tender and more easily digestible.
The natural flavor Of meat may be
retained by careful cooking. Other
flavors may be added by the use of
vegetables such as onions, carrots,
green peppers turnips or by season
ing with condiments such as sage,
lemon rind, VINEGAR celery seed, pep
per sauce. pickles, clover, currant
jelly or some good commercial meat
sauce.
