74 LESSONS IN COOKING
Process I — With Running Water
1. Pile dishes neatly and carefully in the sink, keep-
ing the glasses and silver at one end. Turn in the cold
water and rinse thoroughly.
2. Stop the drain and turn on the hot water, holding
the soap shaker containing scraps of soap, at the mouth
of the hose, and directing the water all over the dishes,
filling the sink.
3. Let stand for 15 or 20 m while doing other work.
4. Remove the stopper, let the soapy water drain ofif,
and turn on the clean hot water, rinsing thoroughly. Dry
glasses and silver.
5. Pile the dishes in the drainer and wipe those re-
quiring it, but if the rinsing water is very hot, scarcely any
drying is necessary.
Process II — Without Running Water, Dish- Washing
Device
1. Use two dishpans, large frying basket, folding dish
drainer and a long-handled fiber brush or a dish mop.
2. Fill both dishpans two-thirds full of very hot water,
making a strong suds in the left-hand one.
3. Have the dishes piled at the left and the folding dish
drainer at the right.
4. Put the wire basket into the soapy water, wash sil-
ver with the brush and drop into the basket.
5. When the silver is all in, lift the basket, let drain a
second and lower into the rinsing water.
6. Drain an instant from rinsing water and wipe silver.
7. With plates, etc., wash each plate with the brush as it
is put into the basket in the soapy water. When all plates
of a size are in, lift out basket, tip to drain a second and
lower into the rinsing water; drain and put plates into the
folding dish drainer, each separate. If rinsing water is
very hot and sufficient soap is used in the washing water,
plates will dry perfectly, clean and bright.
8. When the water in the rinsing pan becomes some-
what dirty, add soap and use it for the washing pan, fill-
ing up the other pan anew with clean rinsing water.
The advantage of this method is that the hands are kept
NOVEMBEB MENUS 75
out of the water entirely, that very hot water may be used,
that nothing but the glasses and silver need be wiped, thus
saving time and labor.
It takes less gas to heat water directly in the dishpans
than in a kettle.
Note. — As the large size frying basket and the folding dish drainer
are not easily obtained except in large department stores, the School
has made arrangements to furnish, through its Purchasing Depart-
ment, this apparatus, consisting of folding dish drainer, large wire
basket, and two fiber brushes for $1.50, express prepaid east of the
Eocky Mountains, $2.00 west.
Process III — Without Running Water
1. Pile dishes neatly and carefully on the table at the
left of the dishpan. Arrange drain pan at the right.
2. Fill dishpan with hot water and use the soapshaker,
making a good suds.
3. Wash glasses and silver first, rinse with hot water
and dry.
4. Pour this hot rinse water into the dishpan and pro-
ceed with the rest of the dishes.
5. When through, wash the dishpan and the dish cloth
thoroughly, using plenty of soap and water. Then wash
the hands in cold water to remove the odor of the dishwater.
