CORN PUDDING A. PREPARE ROAST BEEF.1 Weigh the beef before and after cooking. Wipe beef and, if necessary, skewer into shape. Dredge all sides with salt, pepper, and flour (Why is this added?). Insert a thermometer with the bulb in the center of the roast. Place fat side up, in a hot oven at 428° F. for fifteen minutes, then reduce the heat to 342° F. and cook until the inner temperature of the meat as shown by the thermometer reaches, if rare is desired, 131° to 149° F. ; if medium, 149° to 158° F. ; if well-done, 158° to 176° F. If meat is quite lean, it may be necessary to add fat to the pan. If very dry, add a little water. This is undesirable, as it may give the beef a "stewed" flavor. Let the thermometer remain in for some time after the meat has been removed from the oven. Explain the change in temperature which takes place. Calculate the length of time necessary for each pound of meat roasted rare, medium, or well-done. Why is the meat put into a very hot oven at first ? Why is the tem- perature lowered later ? B. Class Experiment. COOKING MEAT. 1. Sprinkle a bit of raw meat with salt. What effect does the salt have upon the juices of the meat? 1 The roast can be cooked rare and used for left-over meat. 176 FOOD STUDY 2. Take two small pieces of meat. a.
