HOW WILL O
HAVE YOUR MEAT?

One of the first basic cooking
lessons the new homemaker should
learn is that large cuts OF meat
are cooked by two methods, either
with or without, added moisture.
This is both because of the diff
ference In tenderness of some of
the cuts and for variety's sake. OF
these two. the difference in ten
derness Is more important, because
there are actually only a few cuts
which are cooked by both methods
to give variety.
The two methods for cooking
large cuts of meat r roasting and
cooking with moisture. Both are
equally easy TO follow. Roasting is
for large tender cuts of beef, veal,
fresh and smoked pork. and lamb,
such as: beef standing ribs: veal
ribs and rump: fresh or smoked
pork shoulders. loins and hams:
lamb legs and shoulders; and meat
loaves. The meat for loaves may
be from less tender meat cuts.
However. grinding makes the meat
tender so that 1t may be cooked as
a roast.
To roast meat successfully place
the meat cut with its latest side
up on a rack in an open, shallow
roasting pan. Do not add water.
Do not cover. Roast in slow oven
(300e F. for all meats but fresh
pork which is roasted at $500 F.)
until tender. The approximate
time can be computed by any of
the very good charts showing the
number of minutes of cooking time
to be allowed per pound.
Cooking with moisture Ca small
or a large amount), on the other
hand, is the method for less ten
der cuts, such as beef pot-roasts
(arm and blade bone from the
chuck, heel of round or rump);
beef shanks; veal knuckles: pork
hooks; heart; corned beef: and
tender cuts like smoked ham which
are cooked in liquid for variety.
P~ot-roasts are Drowned before
being cooked and only a small
amount Of liquid Is added. The
meat is then covered and cooked
slowly. The other cuts are cooked
completely covered with liquid.
These cuts are usually cooked in
a heavy utensil with a tight cover.
The water. vegetable juices or
other liquids is added. the utensil
is then covered and the meat sim
mered until tender. The approx
mate time for cooking can he COM
Duted with the aid of standard
charts on the subject.
