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