THE BEST METHOD OF FRYING FOOD. Some Valuable Suggestions and How to Get Satisfactory Results. No Need of Having Dyspepsia. Most physicians, especially In the northern United States, say that fried food is responsible for most of the dyspepsia, especially in the south, where frying is must prevalent. This is no doubt true, in a broad and average way. but it is not necessary that it should be true. Too much grease of any kind, and in any way, is certainly bad for- the digestion; but the conclusion must not be too hastily reached that fried food is necessarily greasy. Urease tor cooKing stiouui ue looked upon merely as as a medium for communicating a high degree of heat. It is not usually possible to cook things in water to a higher temperature than 212 degrees, and hence in many cases it is necessary to cook meats, etc., a long while at this temperature to get them done. But it is easily possible to cook things equally well done in grease in a much shorter time, on account of the higher temperature that may be reached?sometimes 300 to 400 degrees. The true way to cook in grease is to get it very hot before introducing the meat or other article. When it is dropped in the higher degree of heat Immediately chars the outer surface and closes the pores, so that the grease cannot get inside. It is important to keep the heat up, and not to put the articles into the greiise so fast as to lower the temperature. When done, they should be immediately removed and laid on a cloth to absorb the adhering grease. Many cooks take a frying pan off the fire with the eggs or meat in it, all cooked, and leave it so until served. This is the next best way to let the grease Roak through to the centre. The very best way to soak the grease in. and the very best way to promote dyspepsia Is to put the articles in the frying pan to cook when the grease is not hot enough. Frying is generally a most wasteful manner of cooking, for the reason that so much of the grease is thrown away ."fter the article is cooked. This is generally unnecessary. ~^If the frying has hp#?n nronprlv irrpasp h;l.s not taken up much from the article cooked. The grease may be poured from the frying pan into a vessel of hot water, when most of the foreign matter will settle and the pure grease will float, after somewhat washing itself in the water. It may then be used again anil again with the best results. There is naturally a smell from any frying grease. In Kurope, where manykinds of grease and oils are used for frying, people become accustomed to the different smells, and do not mind them. In this country all are accustomed to the smell of frying hog lard. When it was flrst proposed to cook with cotton oil the new smell was objectionable. especially the smell of badly refined oil, and thus there grew a prejudice against its use. Another cause for bad results with the oil was the fact that often times the cook would not wait for the oi! to get hot enough before putting It in the articles. When using lard, the cook would naturally wait for it to melt, and it would get hot without provoking impatience. But the oil looks ready when it is first put in the frying pan, and there Is a temptation to use it too soon. There has been much steady work done by those who make cooking compounds from cotton oil. with a view to reducing or disguising the smell. The result has been most gratifying. There are several concerns making a specialty of oil refined for use in cooking, without further manipulation. The Wesson Process cumnanv of Siivaniuh Cia has been very successful In this line and will be triad to mail cook books. There are also a number of highly satisfactory cooking greases made front cotton oil and beef fat, such as "Palmatena" and "Snow Drift." both of which products are extensively manufactured by the Southern Cotton Oil Oomixtny of the Carolines and Georgia at their works in SAinnah. They are both high claas and reliable products In which the pure cotton seed oil la used and they resemble lard In appearance and results, but are more satisfactory and healthy, and which art superior to hog lard from every point cl view. That they are much more healthful there can he no doubt. Thursday morning Mr. .J. 1'. Bailee, of Pleasant Valley, sole to the Fort Mill Mfg.
