## HOW TO CARE FOR STAINLESS COOKWARE

Stainless Cookware will retain original gleaming beauty through a lifetime of service. Just follow these simple directions:

BEFORE USING NEW UTENSILS—Wash them thoroughly both inside and out in hot suds. Use either soap or detergent. This removes the thin coating of oil which clings to the utensil in the manufacturing process. Rinse in clear hot water and dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Now the utensil is ready for use.

HEAT CONTROL—Medium to Low Heat should be used for all cooking. Start vegetables over medium heat. When the water comes to a boiling, turn to low heat to keep water boiling gently. Brown meat slowly over medium to low heat.

EASY CLEANING—Rinse the utensil with warm water immediately after each use. Food particles which do not yield to rinsing usually may be removed with a rubber food scraper.

FIRST AID—If food has been burned on or allowed to dry on the utensil, fill it with cold water. Bring the water to boiling. Remove the utensil from the heat and allow the water to cool to lukewarm. Wash in hot suds. If a stain remains, scour with fine steel wool. If necessary, polish with stainless steel cleaner.

DO NOT OVERHEAT—Overheating may sometimes cause discoloration on Stainless Steel Cookware. These stains are easily removed with any good stainless steel cleaner.

AVOID SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES—Sudden temperature changes and overheating should be avoided. DO NOT put cold water in a hot utensil. DO NOT set a hot utensil on a cold surface, such as the sink.

## SPEND Wisely, SPEND Less!

#### Take Advantage of Bargains

A really big step towards economical food buying is watching newspaper advertisements. Each week the big super-markets and chain stores run all of their weekly specials, and savings will add up fast if you plan as many of your menus as possible around these featured items.

#### Compare Prices

Compare them at home in your newspaper, when you are deciding the best place to shop and save. And compare the difference in price among fresh, frozen, and canned foods. For example; food dollars will go a lot further (yet meals will not suffer), if you serve frozen vegetables, or fresh vegetables in season, on-the-plate ... and use less-expensive canned vegetables in stews, casseroles, etc.

#### Read Labels Carefully

Look for the word “enriched” on white bread and flour labels. This means that the “B” vitamins and Iron, lost in the milling process, have been replaced. Also check the “net weight” when comparing similar bargains.

#### Avoid Waste

Extra-large sizes of canned fruits, vegetables, juices and staples like baking powder may not ALWAYS be bargains. Often these purchases are only partially used, and eventually go to waste. Unless you can use the entire contents of the extra-large container, buy the smaller size.

#### Cut Meat Costs

Less tender cuts of meat are just as nutritious as the more expensive ones. Properly cooked they are equally delicious, and you’ll be surprised how often you can work them into well-planned menus.

Variety meats, such as heart, kidney, sweetbreads, brain, liver and tongue are high in nutritive value and comparatively low in price.

#### Butter or Margarine?

These two table fats are equivalent in food value, and may be used interchangeably in any recipe.

## Plan TO PLEASE!

Plan meals when you are a little hungry ... your culinary imagination is better then. Articles in magazines and newspapers help provide inspiration when you need it, for greater menu variety.

When there are small children in the family, it is easier to plan meals around the type of food small-fry can eat. Adults, too, enjoy this simple food, which can be served in attractive and tempting combinations.

Plan the whole day’s meals as a unit. This is the only way you can be sure of providing the proper amount of the right kind of food.

These are the foods needed every day for good health:

MILK—3 or 4 cups for children; 2 to 3 cups for adults. Milk used in cooking may be counted in the total.

VEGETABLES and FRUITS—1 serving of green, leafy or yellow vegetable; 1 serving of citrus fruit; 1 serving of potato; 1 other vegetable or fruit, preferably raw. Noodles, spaghetti and macaroni cannot be considered substitutes for potatoes. True, they are high in starch, but important minerals and vitamins found in potatoes are lacking.

MEAT, FISH, POULTRY or CHEESE—1 serving daily.

EGGS—at least 4 a week; 1 daily is better.

Enriched or whole grain CEREALS and BREAD—2 servings or more.

BUTTER or MARGARINE—2 tablespoons or more.

EYE APPEAL—Colorful combinations are more appetizing. As you plan a menu, try to visualize the food as it will appear on the table. Strive for good contrast of flavor, color, and texture.

OFF THE BEATEN TRACK—Now and then introduce the family to a new food, or an old favorite in new guise. But don’t overdo it. One new food at a meal is enough.

DESSERT—Dessert is actually a part of the meal and should always be planned as such. Serve a light dessert when the main course is hearty. Serve rich cake and pie only when the main course is not too filling.

LITTLE EXTRAS—A few sprigs of parsley go a long way to make the meat platter more attractive. A sprinkling of paprika provides a flourish of color for creamed dishes.

A tray of raw relishes ... carrot sticks, celery curls, green pepper rings, radish roses and cucumbers cut lengthwise into fingers ... may pinch-hit for the salad occasionally.

Used with discretion, food coloring is a boon to the cook. Add a few drops of yellow coloring to chicken gravy; a few drops of red coloring to step up the eye appeal of desserts made with canned cherries.

## SUPPER IN A Half-hour!

Every homemaker needs two or three quick supper dishes “to fall back on” when kitchen time is limited. They can be hearty and attractive, as well as inexpensive.

Following are four such supper menus, easily prepared in about half an hour. Three of them are planned around canned meat, dried beef and corned beef, which should always be kept on hand for emergency meals.

Fruit in season, quick-frozen fruit, or canned fruit, well chilled, always makes a tempting dessert. Strawberry shortcake is an all season quick dessert, with frozen strawberries and individual sponge cakes made especially for this purpose by professional bakers.

## PREPARING Meats

Cooking meat at a low temperature retains juices, reduces the amount of shrinkage and improves the flavor. The theory that searing seals-in juices has been disproved.

Tender cuts of meat are cooked by dry heat: roasting, pan-frying, broiling, pan-broiling.

Less-tender cuts are cooked by moist heat: braising, stewing, soup-making.

ROASTING—Place meat in Dutch oven, fat side up. Season with salt. Roast uncovered, in moderate oven (325 degrees) to desired degree of doneness. Do not add water; do not baste. Roast will be nicely browned by the time cooking is completed. The use of a meat thermometer is recommended. For easier carving, let meat stand in warm place 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

BROILING—Place meat on greased broiler rack. Broil steaks and chops two inches thick three inches away from source of heat. Cuts one inch thick should be placed two inches from heat. Cook until meat is nicely browned on top. Season and turn to brown other side. Season and serve at once.

PAN-BROILING—Preheat chicken fryer or skillet. Brown meat on both sides turning several times, if necessary. Pour off fat as it accumulates. Do not add water; do not cover. Test for doneness by cutting small slit next to bone. Reduce heat to finish cooking.

PAN-FRYING—Melt a small amount of fat in chicken fryer or skillet. Dip meat in flour or egg and crumb coating. Fry slowly until browned on both sides. Reduce heat to finish cooking, if necessary.

BRAISING—Brown meat slowly in hot fat in chicken fryer or saucepan. Meat may be dipped in flour before browning, if desired. Add a small amount of liquid. Cook at simmering temperature until tender.

STEWING—Cut meat into cubes; brown in hot fat in saucepan. Dredging with flour before browning is a matter of choice. Nearly cover meat with water. Cook, covered, at simmering temperature, until tender. Corned beef, ham, tongue, etc., are cooked in water to cover without preliminary browning.

6

NO SMOKE—Never heat fat to the point where it smokes. Keep heat low enough at all times to avoid smoking. For best flavor, brown meat slowly over moderate heat.

BEEF—Tender cuts of beef are cooked either rare, medium or well-done, by dry heat: roasting, pan-broiling or broiling. Less-tender cuts must be cooked to the well-done stage by moist heat (braising or stewing) in order to make them tender.

PORK—All pork cuts are tender but must be cooked to the well-done stage. Roasting is suitable for any of the larger cuts. Pork chops and steaks should be cooked by braising for best results.

LAMB—Roasting, pan-broiling, or broiling are suitable methods to use with lamb because all cuts are tender. The fell, the thin papery membrane which covers the lamb carcass, should not be removed before cooking. Lamb may be cooked rare, medium or well-done according to personal preference.

VEAL—All cuts need to be cooked slowly to the well-done stage in order to make veal tender. Veal may be roasted, braised or stewed. When an egg and crumb coating is used, chops and steaks cut ½-inch thick may be pan-fried successfully. (This must be done slowly over medium to low heat.) (see front cover)

### TIMETABLE FOR ROASTING

Poultry and all meat except pork is roasted at 325 degrees. Roast pork at 350 degrees. Times given below are approximate, varying with size and shape of roast. A meat thermometer is recommended for accurate determination of degree of doneness.

MEAT | MINUTES PER POUND
--- | ---
Beef
Rare | 18-20
Medium | 22-25
Well-done | 27-30
Lamb | 30-35
Pork | 35-40
Smoked pork | 20-30
Veal | 30
Chicken | 25-30

FROZEN MEAT—It is not necessary to thaw meat before cooking. When meat is frozen solid at the beginning of the cooking process, allow up to twice the usual cooking time.

## STANDING RIB ROAST

Select a Standing Rib Roast. Place fat side up in Dutch Oven. Do not add water; do not cover; do not baste. Roast in moderate oven, 325°F.

Rare | 18-20 minutes per pound
Medium | 22-25 minutes per pound
Well-done | 27-30 minutes per pound

For sure results use a meat thermometer. Insert it in the thickest part of the roast, being sure that the bulb does not rest on fat or bone. Use the time periods above as a guide. Remove the roast from the oven when the thermometer reading is “rare,” “medium,” or “well-done,” as you prefer.

Tomato-Bacon Garnish

Halve small tomatoes; cross short strips of bacon on top of each half. Broil until bacon is crisp.

## PREPARING Vegetables

When the natural color and flavor of vegetables are retained in cooking, it generally follows that the maximum amount of food value is there, too. Observe these three important rules for vegetable cookery if you wish to get your money’s worth of vitamins and mineral elements.

1. Cook vegetables as quickly as possible.

Start vegetables in boiling water. When the vegetable is added, the water stops boiling temporarily. Cover the pan and use high heat to start the boiling again as quickly as possible. Then the heat may be reduced, but the water should actually boil, not just simmer, throughout the cooking process.

2. Use a minimum amount of water.

Half to ¾ cup of water is enough to cook four to six servings of most vegetables in the 1-quart saucepan. Strong-flavored vegetables such as onions, rutabaga and turnips are best cooked in water to barely cover in an uncovered pan.

3. Utilize the cooking water.

Many of the important nutrients in vegetables are soluble in water. When the cooking water is discarded these extra vitamins and mineral elements go down the drain with it.

The most practical way to make use of the cooking water is to boil it down and serve it as a sauce with the vegetable. After the vegetable has been drained, boil the water rapidly until only two or three tablespoons remain. Add a tablespoon of butter or margarine and pour over the vegetable in the serving dish.

Water drained from potatoes is particularly good for use in gravy. In the case of other vegetables, the flavor may not be compatible with that of the meat stock. Small amounts, however, may be added to tomato juice to be served as a cocktail.

SEASONING—Whether salt is added at the beginning of the cooking process or at the end is a matter of personal preference. It has no effect, one way or the other, on the food value.

19

TIMING—Cooking time will vary with the variety and age of the vegetable and the size of the pieces. In general, green leafy varieties such as spinach and new cabbage take 10 minutes or less. Allow about 15 minutes for peas, asparagus, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, carrots and broccoli. The more fibrous, solid types like whole cauliflower or green beans take approximately 20 minutes. Root vegetables ... turnips, parsnips, potatoes, onions, beets, need 25 minutes or more cooking.

VARIATIONS—Perfectly cooked vegetables need only a little salt and a dab of butter or margarine to enhance their flavor. Most cooks however, like to “dress up” vegetables occasionally for greater menu variety.

CREAMED—Carrots, broccoli, asparagus, snap beans, cabbage, onions and peas, alone or in combinations, are the favorites for creaming. Allow one cup of medium white sauce for two cups of cooked vegetable. Spinach is excellent creamed. Use ½ cup thick white sauce with two cups of the cooked greens. Season with a few drops of onion juice and a dash of nutmeg.

AU GRATIN—Turn creamed vegetables into greased casserole and cover with buttered crumbs or equal parts of grated cheese and crumbs. Brown in moderate oven, 350 degrees.

PAN-FRIED—Eggplant and summer squash are best pan-fried. Cut into slices ½ to ¾ inch thick. Sprinkle generously with salt and allow to stand about 15 minutes. Dip in flour. Fry in skillet in hot fat ⅛-inch deep. Brown on one side; turn to brown other side. Avoid turning more than once.

RING MOLD—Buttered spinach, mashed rutabaga or potatoes hashed in cream are attractive served this way. Pack the prepared vegetable into a greased ring mold. Unmold at once onto serving plate. Fill center with vegetable of contrasting color.

FROZEN VEGETABLES—Frozen vegetables are partially cooked by blanching before freezing. Therefore, the cooking time is shorter. Keep all frozen vegetables, except corn on the cob, frozen until ready to cook. Specific directions for cooking each vegetable are found on the package.

## HERE’S HOW YOUR STAINLESS STEELWARE SAVES FOOD VALUES

STAINLESS STEEL, the most modern development in metallurgical science, is wonderful for any type of cooking. America’s largest canneries, food processors and the better restaurants cook and process food in stainless steel utensils. Stainless steel not only preserves natural food flavors ... it is also easiest to keep sanitary and is immune to wear.

USE YOUR
STAINLESS STEELWARE FOR
HEALTHFUL WATER-LESS COOKING
(cooking with minimum amount of water)

The Water-Less way of cooking is highly recommended by leading health and home economics authorities.

Heavy-weight Stainless Steel construction and seal-tight covers assure perfect Water-Less cooking results. Meats and vegetables cooked the Water-Less way (cooking with minimum amount of water) retain their precious mineral elements and vitamins ... and this modern method also preserves the natural flavors and color of the food.

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees.

If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
