Broiled Bacon

Lay thin slices of bacon on a hissing hot frying pan. When transparent, turn. When dry and crisp, drain and dry on brown paper.

Bacon cooked in the Oven

Place thin slices on broiler and cook over dripping pan in hot oven. This method requires more time, but is much more wholesome.

Sausages

Buy the best. Pierce several times with skewer. Cook in hot frying pan in hot oven, fifteen to twenty minutes. Many prefer to cover sausages with boiling water after piercing and boil twenty minutes, then brown in frying pan on top of range. Always drain on brown paper before serving. Serve around a mound of mashed browned potatoes.

POULTRY

Boiled Chicken

Clean, stuff, truss, and wrap chicken in cheese cloth; cover with boiling water, and cook until tender, below the boiling point. Serve on hot platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and garnish with [Oyster Sauce].
