Cookware Tips
1. Use medium- or heavy-weight
cookware. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat faster than other
metals. Cast iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook
evenly at LO or MED heat settings.
Steel pans may cook unevenly if
not combined with other metals.
Directions and Settings to
MEDIUM LO or LO, then add
cereal. Finish timing according
to package directions.
MED, to cook or 2 minutes
to completely blend ingredients.
MEDIUM LO to maintain
gentle but steady perk.
MEDIUM LO.. Cook only 3 to 4
minutes for soft cooked;
1
5 minutes for hard cooked.
Continue cooking at MEDIUM
HI until whites are just set,
about to 5 more minutes.
MEDIUM LO, then add eggs.
When bottoms of eggs have
just set, carefully turn over
to cook other side.
MEDIUM LO. Carefully add
eggs. Cook uncovered about 5
minutes at MEDIUM HI.
MED. Add egg mixture.
Cook, stirring to desired
doneness.
MEDIUM LO. Stir
occasionally and check
for sticking.
MEDIUM LO. Simmer
until fork tender.
MEDIUM HI or MED. Brown
and cook to desired doneness,
turning over as needed.
Comments
Cereals bubble and expand as
they cook; use large enough
saucepan to prevent
Milk boils over rapidly.
Watch as boiling point
approaches.
Percolate to 10 minutes for
8 cups, less for fewer cups.
If you do not cover skillet,
baste eggs with fat to cook
tops evenly.
Remove cooked eggs with
slotted spoon or pancake
turner.
Eggs continue to set slightly
after cooking. For omelet do
not stir last few minutes.
When set, fold in half.
Fresh fruit: Use 1/4 to 1/2
cup water per pound of fruit.
Dried fruit: Use water as
package directs. Time
depends on whether fruit has
been presoaked. If not, allow
more cooking time.
Meat can be seasoned and
floured before it is browned,
if desired. Liquid variations
for flavor could be wine, fruit
or tomato juice or meat broth.
Timing: Steaks 1 to 2 inches:
1 to 2 hours. Beef Stew: 2 to
3 hours. Pot Roast:
to
4 hours.
Pan frying is best for thin
steaks and chops. If rare is
desired, pre-heat skillet
before adding meat.
