Still Saving Fuel
Dear Aunt Daisy, With regard to saving fuel in cooking, do you know the tip of putting one saucepan on top of another, having first brought the contents of the second saucepan to the boil? For example, I often make a semolina pudding for the children’s dinner by mixing the cereal with a little cold milk -bringing the rest of the milk almost to the boil, pouring it gradually in, stir- _ ring the while, and then, still stirring, simmering for a minute. I then put the potatoes, carrots, etc., on to boil without a lid, and put the saucepan of ‘ pudding on top of it. By the time the potatoes are done, the pudding is cooked, This method can be used for all sorts of things-stewing fruit over stock, heating soup over steamed puddings, etc. Also, did- you know that, at a pinch, black shoe polish is excellent for blacking a grate?-Yours faithfully, Mother of Four,
