+
+GENERAL DIRECTIONS
+
+
+Where shortening is mentioned in the recipes it is understood that
+butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of butter substitute or
+vegetable oil may be used.
+
+
+MEASUREMENTS
+
+All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this
+book are level.
+
+The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into
+fourths and thirds.
+
+To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess
+with back of knife.
+
+One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon.
+
+Sift flour before measuring.
+
+
+BAKING
+
+Much depends upon the baking. Many a cake otherwise perfectly prepared
+is spoiled because the oven is too hot or not hot enough. Regulate the
+oven carefully before mixing the ingredients.
+
+When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan.
+A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another
+indication that the cake is baked.
+
+
+TABLE OF EQUIVALENT WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
+
+1 saltspoon = 1/4 teaspoon
+3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
+16 tablespoons = 1 cup
+2 cups = 1 pint
+2 pints = 1 quart
+4 cups = 1 quart
+2 cups granulated sugar = 1 pound
+4 cups flour = 1 pound
+2 cups butter = 1 pound
+2 tablespoons butter = 1 ounce
+2 tablespoons liquid = 1 ounce
+4 tablespoons flour = 1 ounce
+1 square unsweetened chocolate = 1 ounce
+3-1/2 tablespoons cocoa = 1 ounce
+
+
+
+
+BREADS, BISCUITS AND ROLLS
+
+
+Dr. Price's Baking Powder may be used instead of yeast to leaven
+bread. It does precisely the same work; that is, raises the dough,
+making it porous and spongy. The great advantage of bread made by this
+method is in time saved, as it can be mixed and baked in less than two
+hours. Milk bread needs little or no shortening, and less flour is
+required than when water is used. Sift flour before measuring, and use
+level measurements for all materials.
+
+
+BAKING POWDER BREAD
+
+4 cups flour
+1 teaspoon salt
+1 tablespoon sugar
+7 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
+1 medium-sized, cold, boiled potato
+Milk (water may be used)
+
+Sift thoroughly together flour, salt, sugar and baking powder, rub in
+potato; add sufficient liquid to mix rapidly and smoothly into soft
+dough. This will require about one pint of liquid. Turn at once into
+greased loaf pan, smooth top with knife dipped in melted butter, and
+allow to stand in warm place about 30 minutes. Bake in moderate oven
+about one hour. When done take from pan, moisten top slightly with
+cold water and allow to cool before putting away.
+
+
+BOSTON BROWN BREAD
+
+1 cup entire wheat or graham flour
+1 cup corn meal
+1 cup rye meal or ground rolled oats
+1 teaspoon salt
+5 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
+3/4 cup molasses
+1-1/3 cups milk
+
+Mix thoroughly dry ingredients; add molasses to milk, and add; beat
+thoroughly and put into greased moulds 2/3 full. Steam 3-1/2 hours;
+remove covers and bake until top is dry.
+
+
+CORN BREAD
+
+1 cup corn meal
+1 cup flour
+4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
+3 tablespoons sugar
+1 teaspoon salt
+1-1/2 cups milk
+1 egg
+2 tablespoons shortening
+
+Mix and sift dry ingredients; add milk, beaten egg, and melted
+shortening; beat well and pour into greased shallow pan. Bake in hot
+oven about 25 minutes.
+
+
+SPIDER CORN BREAD
+
+1 egg
+1-3/4 cups milk
+2 tablespoons sugar
+1 cup corn meal
+1/3 cup flour
+1 teaspoon salt
+2 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
+1 tablespoon shortening
+
+Beat egg and add one cup milk; stir in sugar, corn meal, flour, salt
+and baking powder which have been sifted together; turn into frying
+pan in which shortening has been melted; pour on remainder of milk,
+but do not stir. Bake about 25 minutes in hot oven. There should be a
+line of creamy custard through the bread. Cut into triangles and
+serve.
+
+
+GRAHAM BREAD
+
+1-1/2 cups flour
+1-1/2 cups graham flour
+4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
+1 teaspoon salt
+1 tablespoon shortening
+1 egg
+1-1/2 cups liquid (1/2 water and 1/2 milk)
+2 tablespoons sugar or molasses
+
+Mix flour, graham flour, baking powder and salt together; rub in
+shortening; beat egg and add with sugar or molasses to liquid; stir
+into dry mixture and beat well; add more milk if necessary to make a
+drop batter. Put into greased loaf pan, smooth with knife dipped in
+cold water. Bake about one hour in moderate oven.
+
+
+NUT OR RAISIN BREAD
+
+2-1/2 cups flour
+1/2 cup graham flour
+1/4 cup sugar
+1 teaspoon salt
+1 cup walnuts or raisins
+4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
+1 egg
+1-1/2 cups milk
+
+Sift dry ingredients together. Add raisins or nuts chopped not too
+fine; add beaten egg to milk and add to dry ingredients to make a soft
+dough. Put into greased loaf pan. Allow to stand about 30 minutes.
+Bake in moderate oven from 45 to 60 minutes.
+
+
+PEANUT BUTTER BREAD
+
+2 cups flour
+4 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
+1 teaspoon salt
+1/2 cup sugar
+1 cup milk
+2/3 cup peanut butter or 1/2 cup finely ground peanuts
+
+Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Add milk to peanut

+CAKE
+
+
+The baking of cake is of primary importance. Regulate the oven before
+putting materials together. When a cake is baked it shrinks from the
+sides of the pan. A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark
+is another indication that the cake is baked. Small and layer cakes
+require a hotter oven than loaf cakes.
+
+Where fewer eggs than called for are used, increase the amount of Dr.
+Price's Baking Powder about one teaspoon for each egg omitted.
+
+If an unsalted shortening is used take slightly less and add a small
+quantity of salt.
+
+Sift flour before measuring and use level measurements for all
+materials.

+PASTRY
+
+
+A small amount of Dr. Price's Baking Powder will make pastry lighter,
+more tender and more digestible.
+
+Pastry should rise in baking to double its thickness, and be in light,
+flaky, tender layers. The novice must learn to handle it lightly and
+as little as possible in rolling and turning. All materials should be
+cold and pastry is improved if put into the icebox as soon as made and
+allowed to stand several hours before using.
+
+Pastry flour is better than bread flour for pie crust.
+
+
+PLAIN PASTRY
+
+This recipe is for one large pie with top and bottom crust.

+
+Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add shortening and rub in
+very lightly with tips of fingers. Add cold water very slowly, enough
+to hold dough together (do not work or knead dough). Divide in halves;
+roll out one part very thin on floured board, and use for bottom
+crust. After pie is filled roll out other part for top. Place loosely
+over pie, bringing pastry well over edge of pie plate. Trim off extra
+paste. Press edges of pastry with fork. Prick or cut two or three
+slashes in top of pie crust and bake in hot oven.

+lightly with fingers; add water slowly until of right consistency to
+roll out. Divide in halves; roll out one half very thin; put on in
+small pieces half remaining shortening; fold upper and lower edges in
+to center; fold sides in to center; fold sides to center again; roll
+out thin and put on pie plate. Repeat with other half for top crust.
+
+
+APPLE PIE
+
+1-1/2 cups flour
+1-1/2 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder

+
+MEATS
+
+
+ROASTING
+
+Wipe meat with damp cloth. Trim and tie into shape if necessary. Put
+some pieces of fat in bottom of pan and season with salt and pepper.
+Have oven very hot at first and when meat is half done reduce heat.
+Baste every 10 to 15 minutes. If there is danger of fat in pan being
+scorched add a little boiling water. Roast 10 to 15 minutes for each
+pound of meat, in proportion as it is desired rare or well done.
+
+
+BROILING
+
+The rules for roasting meat apply to broiling, except that instead of
+cooking in the oven it is quickly browned, first on one side and then
+on other, over hot coals or directly under a gas flame, turning every
+minute until done. Meat an inch and one-half thick will broil in 8 to
+15 minutes. Season after it is cooked.
+
+
+PAN BROILING OR FRYING
+
+Put meat to be broiled or fried in very hot frying pan, with very
+little or no fat. Turn every few minutes until cooked. Season and
+serve immediately. Steaks and chops may be pan-broiled without any fat
+in the pan. For thin gravy pour a little boiling water into pan after
+meat is taken out.
+
+
+BOILING AND STEWING
+
+Fresh meat should be put into boiling water and boiled over hot fire
+for about 5 minutes; reduce heat and boil very gently about 20 minutes
+for each pound. Salt and spices may be added for seasoning; vegetables
+may be boiled in water with the meat. The broth of boiled meat should
+always be saved to use in soups, stews and gravies. Salt meats should
+be put over the fire in cold water, which as soon as it boils should
+be replaced by fresh cold water, repeating until water is fresh enough
+to give meat a palatable flavor. Salted and smoked meats require about
+30 minutes very slow boiling, to each pound. Vegetables and herbs may
+be boiled with them to flavor. When they are cooked the vessel
+containing them should be set where they will keep hot without boiling
+until required, if to be served hot; if to be served cold, they should
+be allowed to cool in the liquor in which they were boiled. Very salty
+meats, or those much dried in smoking should be soaked overnight in
+cold water before boiling.
+
+
+POT ROASTING
+
+A tough cut of meat may be first browned in fat, then cooked in small
+amount of water either in oven or in iron kettle on top of stove. This
+method requires long, slow cooking.

+POULTRY
+
+
+HOW TO CLEAN
+
+Singe fowl over free flame. Cut off head just below bill. Untie feet,
+break bone and loosen sinews just below joint; pull out sinews and cut
+off feet. Cut out oil sac. Lay breast down, slit skin down backbone
+toward head; loosen windpipe and crop and pull out. Push back skin
+from neck and cut off neck close to body. Make slit below end of
+breastbone, put in fingers, loosen intestines from backbone, take firm
+grasp of gizzard and draw all out. Cut around vent so that intestines
+are unbroken. Remove heart and lungs. Remove kidneys. See that inside
+looks clean, let cold water run through, then wipe inside and out with
+wet cloth. Cut through thick fleshy part of gizzard and remove inside
+heavy skin without breaking, then cut away gristly part so that only
+thick, fleshy part is used.

+needle. Turn wings across back so that the pinions touch. Run needle
+through thick part of wing under bone, through body and wing on other
+side; return in same way, but passing needle in over bone, tie firmly,
+leaving several inches of twine. Press legs up against body, run
+needle through thigh, body and second thigh, return, going round bone
+in same way; tie firmly. Run needle through ends of legs, return,
+passing needle through rump; if opening is badly torn, one or two
+stitches may be needed; or if steel skewers are used put one through
+wings of fowl and other through opposite thigh. Then wind twine in
+figure eight from one handle of skewer to other. Rub all over with
+soft butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on rack in
+roasting pan and put into very hot oven. Make basting mixture with 1/2
+cup each of butter and water; keep hot and baste every 10 or 15
+minutes. Roast 3 hours for 8 pound turkey, 1 to 2 hours for chicken

+
+
+FIRELESS COOKERY
+
+
+The Fireless Cooker has become an important factor in the home. The
+principle employed is the preservation of heat by the use of
+non-conducting materials. The device ordinarily used is a rectangular
+box lined on all sides with some substance which will prevent escape
+of heat, with spaces or wells for stone or metal discs or radiators,
+and vessels containing food to be cooked.
+
+The advantages of this method are: the improvement in flavor
+occasioned by the slower cooking with little opportunity for
+evaporation, the improved appearance of food that is subject to
+shrinkage when cooked by ordinary methods; the saving in labor and
+time, as the cooking practically takes care of itself. Dinner may be
+prepared in the morning, placed in the cooker, and without further
+attention be ready to serve after 3 or 4 hours. While the time
+required for cooking is somewhat longer than in the usual methods, the
+actual time consumed in preparation of a meal is considerably reduced.
+
+
+General Directions
+
+Prepare food for cooking as usual. Place in special vessel, designed
+to fit into wells of Fireless Cooker, and heat on range or over gas
+flame until ordinary cooking temperature is reached. Put into cooker
+with one or more radiators which have been heated for 10 or 15 minutes
+over hot fire. For roasting, radiator should be hot enough to brown a
+pinch of flour immediately. Close cover, fasten lightly so that the
+steam may escape and allow cooking to proceed for time specified in
+recipes.
+
+For baking cake, apples, etc., proceed as for roasting. The time
+required for baking is slightly longer than that specified for regular
+ovens. For cake ordinarily baked in a moderate oven, heat radiators
+hot enough to brown a pinch of flour in half a minute.
+
+
+CEREALS
+
+Prepare cereal for cooking in double boiler as usual. Boil over fire
+for 5 minutes; place in larger vessel of boiling water in cooker, and
+allow it to remain 4 or 5 hours or longer. If placed in cooker at
+night it should remain warm enough to serve for breakfast.
+
+
+STEAMING
+
+For recipes see "Boston Brown Bread," "Poor Man's Pudding," "Christmas
+Plum Pudding," etc. Prepare and mix ingredients as directed. Put into
+greased molds and place in shallow pan of boiling water over very hot
+radiator in cooker. Fasten cover tight and cook for 5 to 6 hours.
+
+
+SOUPS
+
+For ingredients and preparation of soups see pages 29 and 30.
+
+Place ingredients in a vessel; cover with cold water; bring to boil
+over free flame and boil 5 minutes. Fasten cover and transfer to
+cooker, using one hot radiator in bottom of well. Cook 4 or 5 hours,
+season and serve.
+
+
+BOILED OR STEWED MEATS
+
+Prepare meat for cooking as usual, searing in frying pan if desired
+brown. Place in large vessel and cover or partly cover with boiling
+water, boiling with cover fastened tight for 10 or 15 minutes over
+free flame. Transfer to cooker, using one hot radiator underneath.
+Cook 2 or 3 hours, season and serve.
+
+
+ROAST MEATS
+
+Prepare and season meat in usual way. Place in large dry vessel; put
+very hot radiator in bottom of cooker well; place vessel containing
+roast on radiator, and place another very hot radiator on top. Close
+cooker and fasten. Allow it to remain about one-half hour per pound of
+meat.
+
+The roast may be browned in a very hot oven before putting into cooker
+or just before serving.
+
+
+VEGETABLES
+
+Prepare vegetables as usual. Place in vessel with small quantity of
+boiling water. As there is little evaporation in tireless cookers,
+allowance does not have to be made for loss by evaporation. Boil over
+free flame for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to cooker, using one radiator
+in bottom of well. Cook 3 or 4 hours, remove from cooker, season and
+serve.
+

+PRESERVING AND CANNING
+
+(Material adapted from U.S. Food Administration and N.Y. State
+Department of Agriculture.)
+
+
+GENERAL DIRECTIONS
+
+Test all jars for leakage before using. To do this, fill with water,
+put on rubber and cover, seal and invert.
+
+Sterilize all utensils, jars, covers, etc., by covering with cold
+water, and boil for 10 minutes. Use only new rubbers and dip in
+boiling water just before using.
+
+Use wide-mouthed funnel when filling jars to avoid loss of material
+and keep jar rim clean.
+
+Invert all jars after filling and sealing.
+
+Fruit should be sound, firm and not overripe and carefully prepared.
+
+Clean fruit, clean hands, clean utensils, and a clean kitchen free
+from flies, are essential for safety and success.
+
+Keep products in a cool place. Avoid freezing in winter.
+
+
+CANNING
+
+Canning is the process of preparing sterilized food so that it will
+keep indefinitely.
+
+The custom of canning fruit in syrup is based on the improvement in
+flavor and texture which sugar gives to fruit. Sugar is not necessary
+for its preservation. Success depends upon thorough
+sterilization--that is, killing the organisms which cause food to
+spoil, and then sealing perfectly to prevent their entrance. Fruit may
+be canned in water, in fruit juice and in syrup.
+
+
+PRESERVING
+
+The only difference between preserving and canning fruit is that sugar
+is always used in preserving, while in canning it is used in smaller
+quantity or not at all. In preserving the old rule of equal weights of
+sugar and fruit may be followed.
+
+
+OPEN-KETTLE METHOD
+
+This method is generally used for preserves, jams, and marmalades.
+Food is completely cooked and then poured boiling hot into sterilized
+jars.
+
+Prepare fruit, which may or may not be peeled, and cut into pieces
+depending on the variety. Blanch or scald peaches and similar fruits
+to loosen skin and chill by plunging into cold water. Cook slowly in
+as little water as possible or in fruit juice or fruit syrup until
+done. Fill sterilized jars, seal and invert.
+
+
+CAN-COOKED METHOD
+
+By this method uncooked or partly cooked food is packed in can or jar,
+covered with liquid and both jar and contents sterilized.
+
+Pare fruit if desired or blanch or scald in boiling water a small
+quantity of fruit at a time. (See time table.) Do not blanch cherries,
+sour cherries excepted, berries or plums.
+
+Chill outside of blanched fruit by immersing a few minutes in a large
+vessel of cold water. Remove skin from such fruits as peaches.
+
+Pack fruit firmly in clean, tested jars to within one-half inch of
+top.
+
+Fill jars to within 1/4 inch of top with boiling water, fruit juice or
+syrup.
+
+Place new rubber on each jar, adjust cover and partly seal.
+
+Place jars on false bottom of water bath and sterilize for required
+time. See time-table. If the hot-water bath is used, jars should be
+immersed in sufficient boiling water to cover tops to depth of about 1
+inch. Do not begin to time the sterilizing until water boils. Keep
+water boiling during sterilizing period.
+
+Remove jars from sterilizer. Seal them and invert to cool. Avoid draft
+on jars, but cool as rapidly as possible.
+
+Wash jars and label. Wrap in paper or store in a dark place to prevent
+loss of color of red fruit.
+
+Vegetables may also be canned by this method.

+USE OF SUGAR IN CANNING FRUIT
+
+Sugar is used in canning fruit for the purpose of improving flavor and
+is not necessary for preservation.
+
+Thin Syrup--1 part sugar to 2 parts water for sweet fruits.
+
+Medium Syrup--1 part sugar to 1 part water for berries and medium
+sweet fruits.
+
+Thick Syrup--2 parts sugar to 1 part water for sour fruits.
+
+To make syrup add sugar to boiling water. Stir until all sugar is
+dissolved, boil 2 or 3 minutes.
+
+
+CANNED PEACHES
+
+Have ready a syrup by boiling sugar and water together until sugar has
+dissolved, using 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar to each cup water. Allow 1 cup
+syrup to each quart jar of peaches and add 1 peach pit to each quart
+syrup.
+
+Scald sound, firm freestone peaches, a small number at a time, in
+boiling water just long enough to loosen skins; dip quickly into cold
+water and slip off skins. Cut peaches in halves and remove stones.
+
+Can-cooked method.--Pack peaches in overlapping layers with rounded
+side upper-most facing glass. Fill each jar with hot syrup and adjust
+rubber, cover, and upper clamp, thus partly sealing jar. Place jars on
+rack in hot water that covers the tops to a depth of 1 inch. Bring
+water to boiling point, and boil pint jars 16 minutes, quart jars 20
+minutes. Remove jars, seal, and invert to cool.
+
+Open-kettle Method.--Cook peaches in syrup until tender; then with
+sterilized spoon slip them carefully into sterilized jar; fill jar to
+overflowing with syrup. Adjust rubber, cover, seal immediately, and
+invert to cool.
+
+
+CANNED CHERRIES
+
+Wash and pit cherries. Can sweet cherries as berries. Blanch sour
+cherries 1/2 minute, in boiling water. Dip in cold water; drain and
+pack closely into hot sterilized jars. Cover with boiling water or
+boiling medium syrup. Loosely seal. Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling
+water bath. Remove jars at once, tighten covers, invert to test the
+seal and cool.
+
+
+CANNED PEARS
+
+Wash and peel fruit and follow directions for canned peaches.
+
+
+CANNED BERRIES
+
+Blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries, raspberries, loganberries,
+gooseberries and strawberries should be canned as soon as possible
+after picking. Hull or stem; place in strainer and wash by lifting up
+and down in pan of cold water.
+
+Pack into hot sterilized glass jars, using care not to crush fruit. To
+insure a close pack put a 2 or 3 inch layer of berries on the bottom
+of the jar and press down gently with a spoon. Continue in this manner
+with other layers until jar is filled. Boiling water or boiling thin
+or medium syrup should be poured over the fruit at once. Loosely seal.
+Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling water. Remove jars, tighten covers,
+invert to test seal and cool.
+
+
+ASPARAGUS
+
+Asparagus must be fresh and tender. Select tips of uniform size and
+maturity, wash, cut into lengths according to containers to be used.
+Scrape off scales and tough outer skins and tie in bundles to fit jar.
+
+Immerse lower ends in boiling water for 5 minutes, then entire stalks,
+for 3 minutes longer.
+
+Cold dip, drain, pack neatly, tips up, in hot sterilized jars. Add
+salt and cover with boiling water. Loosely seal, sterilize two hours
+in boiling water bath. Remove as soon as time is up. Tighten covers,
+invert to test seal and cool.
+
+
+BEANS
+
+String Beans and Wax Beans.--Wash, string, leave whole or break in
+uniform pieces. Blanch 5 to 10 minutes or until the pod will bend
+without breaking. Cold dip, drain well and pack into hot jars. Add
+salt and cover with boiling water. Loosely seal and sterilize two
+hours in boiling water. Tighten covers, invert to test seal and cool.
+
+
+CORN
+
+Select tender juicy sweet corn, at the best stage for table use and
+can as soon as possible after gathering. Remove husks and silk; blanch
+tender ears 5 minutes, older ears 10 minutes. Cold dip and cut from
+cob. Pack into hot sterilized jars. As corn swells during
+sterilization, leave space of 1 inch at top. Add salt and cover with
+boiling water. Be sure water penetrates through the corn to the bottom
+of jar. Loosely seal and sterilize 3 hours in boiling water. Remove,
+tighten covers, invert to test seal and cool.
+
+
+
+
+JAMS
+
+
+Jams are usually made with small fruits or chopped large fruits. Cook
+slowly with equal weight of sugar until thick; put into sterilized
+tumblers or small jars and seal.
+
+
+RASPBERRY JAM
+
+Pick over berries. Mash a few in bottom of preserving kettle; continue
+until fruit is used. Heat slowly to boiling point and add equal
+quantity of heated sugar. Cook slowly 45 minutes. Put into sterilized
+jars or tumblers. Other berry jams can be made in same way.
+
+
+PLUM CONSERVE
+
+4 pounds plums
+1 cup seeded raisins
+2 oranges
+sugar
+juice 1 lemon
+1/2 pound walnuts
+
+Wash plums; remove stones; add raisins and oranges which have been
+sliced very fine. Measure and add 3/4 cup sugar to each cup fruit and
+juice. Put into kettle, cook slowly about 45 minutes or until thick,
+stirring to keep from burning. Add lemon juice and chopped nuts. Pour
+into sterilized jars.
+
+
+
+
+JELLIES
+
+
+Heat and mash fruit until juice runs readily. If fruit is not entirely
+broken rub through coarse sieve. Pour into sterilized jelly bags of
+unbleached muslin or doubled cheesecloth and drain but do not squeeze.
+Take 7/8 cup sugar for each cup of juice. Boil juice 8 to 20 minutes
+(berries and currants require less time); add sugar which has been
+heated in oven; stir until sugar is dissolved and boil about 5
+minutes. Pour into hot sterilized tumblers. Hard fruits like apples
+and quinces should be cut up, covered with cold water and cooked until
+tender before turning into jelly bags.
+
+
