To assure the best results accurate measurements are necessary. It is true that an experi-
enced cook is capable of judging at sight certain measurements. But to insure the same
results each time it should always be remembered to measure each ingredient. To this end
the following standard measurements will be helpful: measuring cup, spatula, tablespoon and
teaspoon, and a pint and quart measure.
All above measurements are level.
All ingredients should be sifted or broken before measuring. Solids should be packed into
measuring cups and leveled off.

If you have no oven thermometer you will find the following tests quite accurate.
Place a piece of white paper in the oven for five minutes and observe the action of the
heat on it and gauge as follows:
Moderate—if paper turns yellow.
Hot or Quick—if paper turns dark yellow.
Slow Oven—If paper turns light yellow.
Very Hot—if paper turns dark brown.
Oven is too hot if paper chars, and heat can be reduced quickly by placing a pan of cold
water in it.
Use as little water as possible in pan when roasting meats and the roast will not shrink
and will retain the natural juices better, making it more nourishing and its flavor more
delicious. Use open pan for roasting meats. Do not season meat before cooking, for salt
draws the juices out of meat. If you prefer seasoning before cooking put seasoning on a
Piece of suet which could be laid on the roast.
