CLEANING TIPS
Before washing, it is essential that all stains be removed.
Sometimes Soap or hot water will set a stain and make its removal
impossible.

BE DEADLY.
Commercial cleaning supplies can aggravate your allergies and
have long terms effects on your health. You can save on your
house cleaning bill with very good results using less toxic
substances.
Ammonia - cuts grease, cleans windows, Strip wax off floors.
Baking soda - cleans, deodorizes, polishes, and removes stains.
Bleach - whitens practically anything, removes mould and
mildew.
Cornstarch - cleans and deodorizes carpets and rugs.
*Rug Stains: Use a solution of half water, half white vinegar.
Shirt or blouse stain: Just a little of water and cornstarch
will remove.
*Grass stains: Dampen stain with cold water, and rub with plain
bar soap. (One without moisturizers). The stain should come
right out. Then wash normally.

Berry Stain: Place the stained part over a pot and pour boiling
water over it from a height of about 2 feet so as to strike the stain
with force. Plunge the stained part up and down in the hot water
until the stain is removed. If stain is persistent, use Javelle water.
Peach Stains: are not easy to remove. Be careful not to wipe
hands with peach-stains on a good napkin, towel or apron. Stretch
stain over a pot of hot water and apply javelle water with a
medicine-dropper. Do not allow it remain too long in contact with
the fibres. Javelle water rots even cotton and linen. Apply
oxalic-acid solution to neutralize the alkali and rinse thoroughly
in hot water. Several applications may be necessary.
Tea And Coffee Stains.
Follow the same procedures as for berry stains above.
Blood and Meat-Juice.
Never put in hot water as that sets the stain. Soak at once in
cold water. Rub with soap and wash. A paste of raw starch mixed with
cold water will remove these stains on flannel, blankets, and heavy
goods. Repeat until stain disappears.
Egg-Stain:
Wash in cold water, then warm water and soap.
Mix 50-50 water, white vinegar. Great for stubborn carpet
stains.

COOKING TIPS, INFORMATION
WARNING: DEEP-FRYING CRAZE
People can do themselves serious injury attempting to
deep-fry their turkey. In the past deep-frying has burned down
houses and put cooks in hospital.
Deep-fried turkey is juicy, and better tasting. However with
this high risk method of cooking, besides the above, your turkey
can end up charred by the resulting inferno.
There is an advantage of deep-frying due to its speed. Cooking time is
3 1/2 minutes per pound. A big turkey is done in less then an
hour. If you are going to deep-fry your turkey use a commercial
pressurized fryer, rather than vats on a stand.
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

divider down to separate meat into uniform squares.
