COOKING TIPS, INFORMATION

WARNING: DEEP-FRYING CRAZE

People can do themselves serious injury attempting to deep-fry their turkey. In the past deep-frying has burned down houses and put cooks in hospital.

Deep-fried turkey is juicy, and better tasting. However with this high risk method of cooking, besides the above, your turkey can end up charred by the resulting inferno.

There is an advantage of deep-frying due to its speed. Cooking time is 3 1/2 minutes per pound. A big turkey is done in less then an hour. If you are going to deep-fry your turkey use a commercial pressurized fryer, rather than vats on a stand.

An uncovered pan with a rack in the bottom gives the best results in roasting. Cooking time varies with preference.

For rare meat, 16 minutes per pound.

For medium meat, 22 minutes per pound.

For well done meat, 30 minutes per pound.

Add salt during or after cooking, not before. The salt flavour does not penetrate more then 1 inch. If the meat does not reach the desired colour during roasting, increase the heat to (500 F) for a few minutes before removing from the pan.

Methods of searing is subjecting the meat to a high temperature until it is nicely browned.

By Adding boiling water and cooking at boiling temperature until the outside of the meat has lost its red colour.

Reasons For Cooking Meat

To develop flavour.

To soften the connective tissue when present in large quantity. To kill any living organisms that may be present.

To make meatballs of even size, spread mixture in an ice cube tray and press the divider down to separate meat into uniform squares. Take out divider and shape squares lightly into balls.

Add a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice when making blueberry pie. Gives the flavour a pleasant lift.

Don’t Drink and Drive

2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a .075 reading. One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2 bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after drinking has stopped is 015. A 200-pound person, after 1 drink produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big difference due to weight.

As a host it is your duty to make sure no one leaves your party impaired. Have some one drive them home.
