Saving Fuel
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have been wondering if you would care to know of a method which I use in cooking vegetables, and which saves ‘both washing-up and fuel. I buy one of those packets of special cooking paper, quite cheap; and then, using a large saucepan, put in a small amount of salted water. In that I put the vegetables which take longest to (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) cook, then a layer of paper, and then the next vegetable, and so on, according to the number of vegetables and the size of the pan, each layer sprinkled with salt. Then put on the lid tightly; the vegetables are cooked well-and my husband says they have a better flavour. Thus I cooked cauliflower, potatoes and pumpkin on the one ring of the stove and had only one saucepan to wash. Some of your younger listehers might like to know this. By the way, when I lift out the vegetables, I use the water
for gravy.-
