IN Editorial
Meat Cookery

MEAT is THE CENTER of the menu
and the article of diet around which
meals are planned, prepared and
served. 1t is one of the most universal
" liked foods and research has proved
that meat supplies large proportion
of the food nutrients essential to good
health. For these reasons we must be
sure we cook meat products in such a
manner as to receive the full pleasure
and benefit from them.
Every grade and cut of meat can be
made tender and palatable by following
certain cookery guides which have been
developed through experimentation and
research. These guides are Cd the basic
principles of meat cookery, Cd the con-
troll of temperature in cooking and CD
the specific methods for cooking meat.
Meat cuts are tender or less tender,
according to their location in the car
cass, the grade of the meat, the amount
of aging they have undergone after
slaughter and the age and condition
of the animal when slaughtered. In
most cases, the tenderness CT a meat
cut determines the method to be used
for cooking it,
In general, tender cuts are best when
cooked by dry heat methods, such as
roasting, broiling, panbroiling and fry
ing. Less tender cuts are made tender
by cooking with moist heat, as braising
and cooking in liquid where the meat is
surrounded by either steam or hot
liquid. It takes long cooking in mois-
ture to soften connective tissue-the
part of the meat which may not be
tender Braising is the method by
which potroasts and Swiss steaks are
cooked. Large cuts and stews are
cooked in liquid.
There are a few exceptions to the
general rule of dry heat for tender
and moist heat for less-tender cuts
Some thin cuts of meat, such as chops,
steaks and outlets of pork and veal,
iced to be cooked well done. They
ire better when praised or fried, rather
han broiled or panbroiIed. Braising
r panfrying cooks them well done with
ut drying them out.
During cooking, meat shrinks or de-
reases in size and weight, regardless
{ the method used. Studies of the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-03-15

factors determining the amount OF
shrinkage, and the affect of this shrink
age on the quality of the cooked meat
show that cooking losses are of great
Importance. Two of the most important
factors affecting losses during cooking
are ID the temperature at which the
meat is cooked and 90 the internal
temperature of the meat, or its degree
of doneness.
Meat is a much better product when
it is cooked slowly-more tender,
iuicier and flavorfUl; it is also more
uniformly cooked Less fuel is required
to cook at low temperature, even
though the cooking time is longer. This
is particularly true of roasting.
Another advantage of low tempera-
lures for cooking meat is that there is
less work involved-less watching dur
ing coc.zing and less cleaning up after
ward from fat burned on pan, rack
and oven Low temperatures mean
easier and more economical carving
Meat cooked at low temperature is
more tender and yet the muscle fiberS
hold together better, thus causing less
waste in carving.
Cooking time has generally been
used as a guide to the degree of done
ness. The research laboratory, how
ever, has shown that the meat Their
mometer is the most accurate guide
to the degree of doneness, especially
of roastS. In other words, the internal
temperature of the meat, as shown
by the meat thermometer, indicates
its degree of doneness. Cooking time
is only an approximate guide to the
degree of doneness.
Research has revealed that, on the
basis of an average serving, meat
supplies large proportion Of the es-
sential food nutrients On the basis of
daily recommended allowances for a
moderately active adult, four-ounce
serving of meat provides about "a per
cent of the protein, IA per cent of the
calories, IA per cent of the phosphorus,
Is per cent of the iron, 6 per cent of
he vitamin A, SO per cent of the thia-
nine, 16 per cent of the riboflavin and
IS per cent of the niacine
In view of the outstanding contribu-
ions made to our daily food require
nent by the meat in our diet, we can
afford to look to our meat
cooking methods. Proper procedure will
i've more palatable product and a
ubstantiaI saving.-AMY MARTIN.
