brown mushroom sauce around it. To broil with gas. — Heat the broiling oven. Lay the meat on the rack and put near the flame at first. Brown both sides, then lower the gas flame, or put the pan farther away from the flame, thus cooking more slowly until meat is done. Turn three or four times during the cooking. Put on a warm platter and season as above. To pan broil. — Heat a heavy iron pan until a drop of water will rebound in balls from it. Lay the steak or chops directly on the pan without fat. Turn often. Reduce heat and continue cooking until done. Place on a warm platter. A little hot water, butter, salt, and pepper may be added to the pan and then be poured over the meat, for a gravy ; or season as a broiled steak. To cook chops. — Lamb and mutton chops may be broiled in the same manner as beefsteak. Veal chops must be more thoroughly cooked than is possible in broiling, so they must COMPOSITION AND PREPARATION OF MEATS 95 be rolled in some form of fat-proof coating and cooked in hot fat. Pork chops also require long cooking, but they contain enough fat in themselves to finish the cooking if they are placed directly on hot pan. Pork Chops Wipe chops, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in a hot frying pan ; reduce heat, cover, cook slowly until tender and well- browned on both sides, about twenty minutes. Veal Chops Trim and wipe the chops or slices from the thick part of the leg. Season with salt and pepper, roll in bread crumbs, then in egg beaten with 1 tb. water, and again in crumbs. Sauter in hot salt pork fat or lard till well browned on both sides. Arrange in a circle about the dish, and fill the center with mashed potatoes, peas, tomato sauce, or boiled and seasoned string beans. The chops may also be rolled in flour and cooked as above. Ham Wipe ham, remove the rind. Place ham in a hot frying pan and cook ten minutes or till brown on both sides. Put on a platter and keep warm. Make a gravy by adding 2 tb. flour to the fat in the pan and gradually stirring in 1 c. milk. Or fry eggs in the fat left in the pan and serve with the ham. If cooked too long, ham will become hard and dry. Bacon Remove rind from thin slices of bacon. Put bacon in a fine wire broiler, place over a dripping pan and bake in a hot oven until bacon is crisp and brown, turning once. The fat which has dripped into the pan may be used for frying. 96 DOMESTIC SCIENCE Lemon Butter 2 tb. butter | tb. lemon juice \ ts. salt \ tb. minced parsley \ ssp. pepper Mix well and spread on hot broiled steak, chops, or fish, after placing them on the platter.
