TO BOIL MEATS.
For all meats allow from fifteen to twenty minutes for each pound.
Skim well. All fresh meats are to be put into boiling water to cook;
salt meats into cold water. Keep the water constantly boiling,
otherwise the meat will absorb the water. Be sure to add boiling
water if more is needed. The more gently meat boils the more tender
it will be.
TO BROIL MEATS.
In broiling all meats, you must remember that the surface should not
be cut or broken any more than is absolutely necessary; that the meat
should be exposed to a clear, quick fire, close enough to sear the
surface without burning, in order to confine all its juices; if it is
approached slowly to a poor fire, or seasoned before it is cooked, it
will be comparatively dry and tasteless, as both of these processes
are useful only to extract and waste those precious juices which
contain nearly all the nourishing properties of the meat.
BEEFSTEAK. MR. GEORGE B. CHRISTIAN.
The chief secret in preparing the family steak lies in selection.
Like cooking the hare, you must first catch it.
