KITCHEN METHODS
HOW MONEY CAN BE SAVED. It is common knowledge that money can be saved and health improved by enlightened principles of housekeeping, particularly in the kitchen. By pursuing methods which .will save time, food and fuel, it is usually possible to keep accounts reasonably low, while providing appetising, nutritious, and well-cooked, well-balanced meals. A good cook keeps her eye on the fuel bill as well as on the food. Stoves are so carefully designed for using the minimum of heat that it is only sensible to exploit this. It is a fact that it is more economical to cook as much as possible in the oven. This method also enables one to produce appetising and digestible food with the least attention; therefore why not use covered baking dishes instead of saucepans and frying pans? Certainly, one has to make an earlier start and to organise the cooking somewhat. Why not bake potatoes in their skins in the oven as often as possible instead of peeling and boiling on top, and save in two ways? Why not allow sufficient time to cook foods requiring slow heat, or bake such small things as biscuits after general cooking is finished? Why boil a quart of water when a pint will do?
