FOR TRE De ee Sie i Hpaeiegh we DONE???" \ < Ever have the frustrating experience of following a recipe to a "T" then coming to the enlightening advice in the lzst line to "cook until donc"? A few year's exper- ience of course develops the woman's intui- tion recuired for this ticklish task, but for those who are still in the "mist" of acouiring those years here are some rules which will tell you when to stop cooking and start eating: \ ms Cake -- Straw or wire cake tester inserted in centre comes out crumb-free; cake is beginning to draw away from sides of pan; top is lightly browned and will bounce back if pressed lightly with fingertip. (Pancake - ready to turn wher bubbles appear and start to break on top side and top looks drier, Fish -~ Flakes when pierced with fork, looks whitish and opaque when spread from: back- sone with toothpick, Use thermometer in thickest part behind gills ~- done at 140 degree reading, Fried food ~ (deep fat) --- Done when browned evenly, but if frying without thermometer you should also break or cut open to be sure inside is hot and cooked through. Inciden- tally, in a book that uses the word "saute" to mean pan-frying "fry" means "fry in deep fat." Meat -- Try to judge doneness without cutting in, for juices will escape at the cut, Time roasts (time per pound given in every cook book); use meat thermometer; or judge by looks (nice and brown, meat pulling away from leg or shank bone), Cut near bone if at all, Poultry --- If leg joint wiggles easily, indicating tenderness even of the tough ligaments, chicken is done, Better cut into your first friers and broilers to make sure flesh is white, not pink. Later on you'll know how long to cook, Juice running out of cut into fowl should be white or colorless, not pink. (cont'd next col.) ® 3 ugk: Po 4 Vegetables -- Still almost crisp, certainly still bright in color, but just tender enough to admit the point of a paring knife without resistance, Test toughest part (stalk) but by all means stop cooking before vegetables are soft, soggy, greyed, and tasteless, Most people over-cook vegetables, o=-0=0.
