Food Specialist
Gives Shortcut
Method For Meals

COLUMBUS - When planning
"hurry-up" meals ask yourself,
What jobs can / leave out ?"
What jobs can | combine?" and
How can l do the job quicker
way?", states Pauline Grunner, ex-
tension food and nutrition special
ist at The Ohio State University.
You can save time if you elm
mate as many jobs as possible. For
example, you need not peel the ap-
Piles for a Waldorf salad. You can
eliminate the extra time needed
for rolling and cutting biscuits or
cookies if you make drop ones.
You can accomplish twice as many
tasks if you combine jobs. If
dessert for the evening meal is to
be baked one, ii is both economi-
cal and time-saving to put it in the
oven along with the main dish for
lunch. All the fresh vegetables to
be used during the day can be
washed and/or chopped at the
same time to eliminate getting out
the same tools twice, explains the
home economist.
Homemakers always are on the
alert for ways to speed meal prep
aration. Appliances often will help
do the job quicker 1t is wise to
read the instruction book carefully
to see the many uses the appliance
might have and to find out how to
use the attachments SO they will
be at your service when you are in
a hurry.
The freezer can be big help to
you if you take advantage of good
food buys, advises Miss Gruner.
Meat, as we'll as variety of other
foods, including baked products,
can be frozen and ready to use for
quick meals later.
Buying a supply of ready cook
ed meats, poultry, and fish for
those 'last-minute meals" will be
big help, since meat is often the
part of the meal that requires the
longest preparation time.
Miss Gruner lists these short
cuts for cooking the food: Prepare
simple meals; wash all fruits and
vegetables when they are brought
from the market SO they are ready
for quick use; cook many vegeta-
bles with the peeling on and in
large pieces; often serve fruits and
vegetables raw and prepare foods
in large quantity and freeze for
later quick use.
