Comments
For crisp dry chicken, cover only

minutes. Uncmer and cook, turning
occasionally 10 to 20 minu@s.
A more attention-free method
is to start and cook at MED.
Meat may be breaded or
marinated in sauce before frying.
Add salt or other seasoning
before cooking if meat has not
been smoked or otherwise
cured.
When melting marshmallows, add
milk or water.
Thick batter takes slightly longer
time. ~m over pancakes when
bubbles rise to surface.
Use large enough kettle to
prevent boilover. Pasta doubles
in size when cooked.
Cooker should ji~le 2 to 3 times
per minute.
Stir frequently to prevent
sticking,
Uncovered pan requires more
water and longer time.
Break up or stir as needed while
cooking.
Turn over or stir vegetable as
necessary for even browning.
Triple in volume after cooking.
