A Sure Cure
An older lady came out screaming after being told by the young Doctor she was pregnant.? The head doctor of the clinic stopped her and asked her what the problem was. She tells him and he gets her to settle down in a chair, and then rushes over to the young doctor that she came from.
?What?s the matter with you, telling a 80 year old lady she is pregnant? he asks the young Doctor.
The Doctor kept writing the prescription he was filling out, and without looking up at his superior, asked, ?Does she still have the hiccups??
BACK TO COOKING SCHOOL.
TENDER CUTS of meat can be cooked by dry heat, as in broiling, pan-broiling, or roasting.
TOUGH CUTS can only be made tender by moist heat, as in pot-roasting and Stewing.
Our main object is to prevent shrinkage in so far as possible, and produce a tender, juicy, tasty product. In roasting, searing does little to help keep in juices, less shrinkage results at a lower temperature for a longer time (300 F). Searing however makes the meat look attractive and the outside layers taste better.
An uncovered pan with a rack in the bottom gives the best results in roasting.? Cooking time varies with preference.
For rare meat, 16 minutes per pound.
For medium meat, 22 minutes per pound.
For well done meat, 30 minutes per pound.
Add salt during or after cooking, not before.? The salt flavour does not penetrate more then 1 inch. If the meat does not reach the desired colour during roasting, increase the heat to (500 F) for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Methods of searing is subjecting the meat to a high temperature until it is nicely browned.
By Browning in an uncovered pan in a hot oven (450 F-500F).
By Browning in hot fat in a frying pan on the surface burner.
By Adding boiling water and cooking at boiling temperature until the outside of the meat has lost its red colour.
Reasons For Cooking Meat
To develop flavour.
To soften the connective tissue when present in large quantity.
To kill any living organisms that may be present
FOOD INFORMATION.
How safe is our food supply?
Increasingly, the corporations that supply us with processed foods are unable to guarantee the safety of their ingredients. As a result, not just red meat and poultry, is now a potential carrier of pathogens, government and industry officials concede. As the drive to keep food costs down intensifies, most corporations do not even know who is supplying their ingredients, let alone if those suppliers are screening the items for microbes and other potential dangers.
Some concede that they cannot ensure the safety of items ? from frozen vegetables to pizzas ? and that they are shifting the burden of safety to the consumer. It seems the only time we know the products are unsafe, is when there is a problem, people get sick, and the product is recalled.
The Grocery Manufacturers Association has called for new safety initiatives. ? They include new training and more food safety audits. ? The grocers also want a new internet-based recall system to speed up the process of finding and removing recalled food products.
For information on receiving recalls by e-mail, or for other food safety facts, visit: www.inspection.gc.ca
Don?t just guess to tell when meat, poultry and seafood are done.? Instead, use a food thermometer to make sure foods have reached at least the following internal temperatures:
Steaks: 145 degrees F (medium rare)
Ground beef: 160 degrees F
Chicken breasts: 165 degrees F
Whole poultry: 165 degrees F
Pork: 160 degrees F
Fish: 145 degrees F
Officials of Ottawa Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency remind home canners and consumers that home canning and bottling of seafood is popular in Canada, but food safety awareness should be the priority when home canning or when buying home canned products from vendors.
Improper preparation, canning or storage, especially of low-acid foods such as clams, lobster and whelks, can cause serious illness, even botulism. Bacteria that produce colourless, odourless, tasteless, invisible toxins not necessarily destroyed by cooking cause botulism.
To keep home canned food safe, the Canadian health agencies advise canners remember to:
Use a pressure canner and strictly follow the manufacturer?s instructions for low-acid food canning or bottling. Recipe ingredients, amounts, or jar sizes should not be changed because these can affect times/pressures needed and could result in bacteria remains in the food.
Clean and keep sanitizing hands, all work surfaces, food, utensils, and equipment during all stages of the canning process.
Use home canned product within one year. Once the container has been opened, refrigerate leftovers immediately.
Never eat canned foods if the closure or seal has been broken, or if the container is swollen or leaking. If in doubt, throw it out.
The Memorial Day weekend is coming up. It marks the unofficial start of summer. Many will celebrate with a cook out or picnic, two things that can lead to food borne illnesses.
