Do You Know

Do you have a timetable for cooking meats and vegetables? It is very important to observe these rules.
 For steak 1 to 11a inches thick, allow 10 to 15 minutes for broil- ing; 10 to 12 minutes for lamb chops; mutton chops 12 to Is min utes. Ham will fry in 5 minutes; bacon in 3 to minutes; liver in Is. Veal should be well done, but not dry; about 12 to IS minutes is sufficient cooking time for veal cut lets. Croquettes and fish cakes fried in deep fat are done in 1 minute.
 Allow 15 to 20 minutes to the pound form a roast leg of lamb; 20 to 30 minutes for broiled chicken; 1 to 11s hours for roasting chicken that weighs between and pounds. Rare roast beef requires only to 10 minutes per pound.
 A thick fish will need 10 to 15 minutes to the pound for baking; a thin fish only 8 to 10 minutes. The time for broiling depends larely on the texture and thickness of the fish |. 7. 15 minutes per pound for fish sue has halibut and salmon; 8 minutes for fish like sole or founder.
 All the spring vegetables will cook in much less time than the winter varieties of the same vegetables.
