Boiled Meats
Meats are placed in cold water with a little salt, and boiled slowly, the scum that rises being removed from time to time.
Fried Pork or Bacon
Pork is cut into thin slices and freshened by being heated in the frying-pan with a little water. It is fried without any addition whatever, and the grease fried out of it is saved for cooking other articles. It can be breaded by being dipped first in cold water, and then in crumbs or Indian-meal, and fried crisp.
The same directions apply to bacon, and both should be cut exceedingly thin.
