The Story of Milk

by Johan Ditlev Frederiksen

MISCELLANEOUS SUGGESTIONS

1. A tablespoonful of milk put in the pan before frying eggs will keep them tender.

2. Covering cold chicken or other meat with buttermilk will keep it for twenty-four hours or more, without affecting the meat except to make it more tender.

3. Custards and ice cream kept too long in warm weather may cause ptomaine poisoning.

4. Keep milk covered to shut out flavors from other food.

5. Milk warm from the cow should not be kept in a closed receptacle.

6. Danish cooks soak a piece of veal in skim milk overnight before roasting it, to improve the flavor.

7. Sliced ham covered with milk and baked in a moderate oven for an hour has delicate flavor and is always tender.
