Co, HOW YOU CAN GOOK | To Cook Meat and Vegetables in Less Than Half Time and Twice as ALMOST “BY MAGIC” Well, Just Use a “Pressure Cooker” CHRISTINE By Mrs. Christine Frederick Author “Household Engineering” Oopyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) OU recall that in one of the dear old fairy tales the youngest son 4 that, whenever he wished a meal, he set himself and said: ‘Table, table, spread thy~ the obedient and marvelous applt- covered itself with all manner of de- presented a ready-to-eat ban- t+ ment’s notice. ~ 1am quite sure astounds us and commands our ad- Miration is the speed with which the ple request to “spread thyself” and, presto—abracadabra—dinner {s ready! vite give for such a magic solution her cooking and serving prob- Jeasen the time of pot-watching and meal preparation? e@hoose, she can prepare many din- ners with almost identical leger- It will not be a magic table, but a magic pot in the shape of a Household Efficiency Expert ‘by Presa Publishing Co.

In her case “pressure cooker.’ This most useful time and fuel aver is not a new piece of equip- ment; the Government has long known and used it in its canning work, where It remarkably cut down the time required to sterilize food products. But the homemaker is only beginning to realize its benefits and the true magic it brings to the cook- ing of many foods. ‘There are several types of ‘‘pres- Bure cookers’ on the market—some fare square, some round like the old- fashioned “iron pot'’ of our grand- mothers. But all are based on the ‘ell-proved sclentifio fact that boll- 'g water or steam under pressure is otter than boiling water in an open pot. Temperature increases with pressure, 50 say the wise men, and to make their point they tell us that: Water bolls nt sea level atmospheric In other words, the more pressure You put on your water the hotter it gets and the quicker it cooks, Of course you all know when we ook by boiling or steaming in the ordinary way that a great deal of the steam, and thus the heating value, escapes out into the room, even from beneath a tight lid. If we could pre- ‘vent any of this escape of steam into the air, and if we could keep all the heat in the pot, why of course we ould cook our foods more quickly, couldn't we? And that’s just where the magic pressure cooker scores, It Your Fifth HE fifth wedding anniversary is an occasion not usually over- looked tn the home, and when a eouple have really successfully weath- ered the storms of married life for five years It is meet that they should re- jpice and have friends to rejoice with dem. ‘An inquirer requests advice con- this event and first of all are the invitations.

I'll be frank and say that [ had a pressure cooker In my kitchen for al- most a year and that I didn’t like it at first—probably because I just didn't understand how to get the most use from it. But now—we none of us could keep house without it. ‘We call ours “Big Ben,"’ because it is 80 corpulent, kindly and efficient. ‘What won't “Big Ben’ do? You can take two tough old roosters and throw them into his capacious interior and those roosters will cook to a nice soft pulp in about twenty minutes after the pressyre rises to around fifteen pounds; oF if you have a lot of de- jected winter beets ‘on parsnips which you sort of dread cooking because they will take so much fuel, don't hesitate, but pack them into “Big Ben," partly cover with water, and they will cook in let us say forty min- utes, which is about one-third the time they would require under any open-kettle cooking. As for soup, well, that's the one way to cook soup—under pressure. That {s the only way to get the juice and the flavor and the fragrance and 100 per cent. nourishment from any lot of bones and meat scraps or inex- pensive cuts. I am sure that during the winter months ‘Big Ben" makes us a large pot of soup every day. We almost never take him off the stove, we find him so useful, so economical and so fucl-saving. You will admit that any soup, » piece of meat, root vegetable, &c,, usually requir about two to three hours or more to cook tender. But with a pressure cooker meats become juicy, tough fibres readily break down, and coarse vegetables are made soft in less than one-half—generally in one-quarter of the ordinary cooking time, Understand that a _ pressure cooker may be used with any form of fuel, gas, coal or elec- tricity.
