Suppose that instead of usâ€" ing a clean potato we were dealing with a very scabby one and instead of taking off a peeling of oneâ€"sixâ€" teenth of an inch thick we are, cnm. the thickness of peeling calculated is much thinner that that ordinarily taken off and no allowance whatever has been made for eyes. It is probable that the average loss in peeliseg poâ€" tatoes would run from 20 to 25 per cent. |, Although most potatoes are rather iong and flat, for convenience in calâ€" |EuUlation, we may assume that the poâ€" tfMato is perfectly round in shape. It is . to do this because a long potato ; is more surface and consequently |rore peeling in jproportion to its ;" lume, than a perfectly round one; reonsequently our result will he someâ€" [ what lower than the actual loss. Takâ€" img then a spherical potato 2 inches in diameter let us find out how much ’ will be lost by taking off a laver onâ€" Sixteenth of an inch all over the surâ€" 'fa.ce. I think everyone will agree that the average peeling is somewhat deeper than oneâ€"sixteenth of an inch but this fgure will serve to. make our the use Of the ‘weilâ€"known rules for finding the volume of a sphere we ascertain that the volume of the whole potato is 4.1905 ‘cubic inches. When the peeling is removed the reâ€" maining sphere jJhas a volume of 3.4526 cubic inches. We have thus lost .7379 inches or 17.6 per cent of the total volume of the potato. This of course includes the skin, which is, however, very thin. The above figures of 17.6 per cent. may be regarded as a minimum of loss in potato peeling since, as has been stated, it is calcuâ€" lated for a perfectly rou nd potato the thickness of peeling calculated is much thinner that thatâ€" ardinarilv C is readily fount onditions the pee rom the total vol 3 per cent. or on otato Azain if w calculation quite conse the use of the wellâ€"know finding the volume of a _ We frequently hear it recommendâ€" °d that in order to conserve as much food as possible potatoes should be baked or boiled with the skins on, and not peeled, on @the: theory that the peeling takes something from the Yolume of the potato.
