{"product_id":"2940015741889","title":"Paper Bag Cookery","description":"INTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Paper-Bag Cookery\" is the method of cooking food in a hot oven, having\u003cbr\u003epreviously enveloped each article in paper, and thus cooking them in hot\u003cbr\u003eair and in the steam generated by their own juices. The method is fully\u003cbr\u003eexplained and its advantages are clearly and incontestably set out in\u003cbr\u003ethe following pages, but it may be well to sum up the latter succinctly\u003cbr\u003ein their order here that they may be taken in at a glance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe greatest advantage of all is, of course, the great improvement in\u003cbr\u003eflavour and the retention in the food of its highest nutritive\u003cbr\u003eproperties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(1) Food cooked in a paper bag is superior in flavour and of\u003cbr\u003e     higher nutritive value than that cooked in any other way.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next advantage is its economy in time, in money, and in labour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(2) Food cooked in a paper bag loses practically nothing in\u003cbr\u003e     weight.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(3) By cooking the entire dinner in paper bags in the oven an\u003cbr\u003e     immense saving in fuel is effected.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(4) Food cooked in a paper bag takes, as a rule, a much\u003cbr\u003e     shorter time to cook than when cooked by any other method.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(5) The entire meal may be prepared and placed in the bags\u003cbr\u003e     overnight, thus saving considerable time during the busy\u003cbr\u003e     morning hours.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(6) Joints require no basting, and provided care is taken to\u003cbr\u003e     lower the gas sufficiently to prevent scorching the bags, the\u003cbr\u003e     food can be left to look after itself until the proper time for\u003cbr\u003e     dishing up arrives.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA very great advantage both to mistress and maid is the cleanliness of\u003cbr\u003ethe process. It is undoubtedly an advantage when doing without a servant\u003cbr\u003eto have no pots and pans to soil one's fingers, or to roughen one's\u003cbr\u003ehands with the necessary strong soda water for cleansing kitchen\u003cbr\u003eutensils.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(7) No pots and pans to clean. No blackened saucepans to\u003cbr\u003e     scour; no dishcloths to wash out, after washing the pots, thus\u003cbr\u003e     saving soap and soda. The bags used in cooking are merely\u003cbr\u003e     burned up.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(8) No constant and expensive renewal of pots, baking dishes,\u003cbr\u003e     fireproof ware--frequently far from fireproof--tin saucepans\u003cbr\u003e     burned through in no time--enamelled dishes from which the\u003cbr\u003e     enamel so soon wears off. An ample supply of paper bags for an\u003cbr\u003e     average family will cost at the utmost no more than sixpence\u003cbr\u003e     per week.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(9) Comfort in kitchen and sitting-room. There is absolutely\u003cbr\u003e     no smell of cooking during the preparation of meals, a very\u003cbr\u003e     great advantage in houses where the kitchen is not completely\u003cbr\u003e     shut off from the rest of the house.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(10) It is possible to cook all sorts of viands at the same\u003cbr\u003e     time in paper bags. Even such articles as fish, onions, etc.,\u003cbr\u003e     can be cooked at the same time as the most delicate foods\u003cbr\u003e     without impairing their flavour or imparting their own.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(11) Freedom from grease. Many dishes which are too rich for\u003cbr\u003e     the digestion when cooked in the usual way may be put into a\u003cbr\u003e     paper bag with no more butter than is necessary to grease the\u003cbr\u003e     bag, and will be found to have gained in savour and delicacy\u003cbr\u003e     of taste, while so completely free from grease that they will\u003cbr\u003e     not disagree with the most delicate digestion.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(12) Meat is made tender by being cooked in a paper bag. Even\u003cbr\u003e     if inclined to be tough, the same joint that, put into an oven\u003cbr\u003e     and cooked in the usual way, would be almost uneatable, will,\u003cbr\u003e     cooked in a paper bag, turn out surprisingly tender and\u003cbr\u003e     palatable. The envelope keeps all the juices in, and thus\u003cbr\u003e     enables the meat to be cooked to perfection.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(13) The juices which must in some degree run from meat, the\u003cbr\u003e     syrup which may boil out from the fruit dumpling, the gravy\u003cbr\u003e     which may exude from the meat pudding, are all preserved in the\u003cbr\u003e     bag, instead of being lost in the baking dish or the boiling\u003cbr\u003e     water, as would be the case if the bag were dispensed with.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(14) No scrubbing out of a greasy oven with dripping clinging\u003cbr\u003e     to the sides; no washing out of the dripping pan or baking\u003cbr\u003e     dish. A spotlessly clean oven is left, and when the bags have\u003cbr\u003e     been burned up and the dishes washed, the cook's labours in\u003cbr\u003e     connection with the finished meal are over.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     =(15) Even such articles which for some reason or other must\u003cbr\u003e     necessarily be put into dishes, are immensely improved in\u003cbr\u003e     flavour by being afterwards placed in a paper bag, and are also\u003cbr\u003e     more equally cooked well as saved from all risk of burning.=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     _A List of Prices of Papakuk Bags will be found on page 3 of\u003cbr\u003e     the Cover._","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146410737904,"sku":"2940015741889","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015741889","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
