When Food Bums.

“With too many irons in the Use some will burn.” This old adage often proves too true to the busy housewife She has forgotten to add water to the cooking food, and the odor of the, burning meat, vegetable or fruit reminds her of the fact When this happens, quickly seize the pot from the range and immerse it in & vessel containing cold water. The steam will escape from the outside instead of passing upwardi through the food. Place the food In another pan and continue cooking or dress to serve. The most critical person cannot detect a burnt taste in the food. This la a suggestion worth trying.
