To STEW MEATS, ETC., WITHOUT FEAR OF BURNING. Use a double- boiler for stewing. The inner pot of a double-boiler does not get hot enough to actually boil the liquid in it; it only keeps it at the boiling point. In order to stew meats, the liquid should slowly simmer. You can actually boil in the inner pot of a double-boiler if you make a very salty solution in the outer pot. You should use a very large double-boiler and add to the water » in the outer pot at least a half cup of salt to each quarter of water. This will raise the temperature of the liquid in the outer pot to a sufficient height to actually boil any liquid in the inner pot. If you follow this method you need never fear your stew burning because although the liquid boils it cannot burn. Of course, you have to see that the water in the outer pot does not boil away, but that will take a long time. By having a very large deuble-boiler with three or four quarts of water in the outer pot you can cook stews and go marketing while the stew is cook- ing without fear of its burning. You only require a very low flame to keep the double-boiler boiling. How To PREVENT SPLASHING WHEN FRYING.
