Some Points to Recall When Cooking Sausages Slow and steady the rule to re- , member when cooking bacon and sausage for best flavor, tender, tex ture and least waste, home econ omists say. By keeping the heat low these meat products can be cooked thoroughly without drying, hardening, or scorching. Slow cooking has another ad vantage. It saves the fat in these meats from reaching the smoking | point where it becomes less di gestible and changes the flavor. Turn slices when partly cooked for even cooking on both sides.
