SISTER MARYS
a e KITCHEN
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

TO avoid the unpleasant expert
l. ence of finding part of your
dinner ready for the table and the
other part merely halfway cook
ed, it's a good idea to study the
time tables which have been work
ed out in kitchen laboratories for
the benefit of the beginner in
cooking.
However,. there are so many
factors which must be considered
in the cooking of meats and vege-
tables that time tables cannot
specify. The varying maturity,
time from the garden and size of
materials cannot be calculated i'll
the making of the time table.
Young, freshly gathered yege-
tables will cook in less time than
ripper ones. Wilted vegetables will
take longer TO cook than fresh
ones. too.
Cut the Large Vegetables
Small vegetables or large ones
cut in small pieces will cook
much quicker than those left
whole. The more surface exposed,
the shorter the cooking period.
The time required for preparing
vegetables for cooking must be
considered in the planning of the
whole meal. Green peas should
cook in 20 to 80 minutes.
Asparagus cooks quickly and is
quickly prepared. Thirty minutes
should be allowed for cooking this
vegetable.
Green beans cut in diamonds
should cook in 80 minutes.
Remember to cook all green
vegetables UNCOVERED. This
keeps them invitingly green.
New carrots, cut in slices, cook
tender in Is or 20 minutes. Diced
