Roasting and Boiling

The time required for properly roasting and boiling meat is about fifteen minutes to the pound. Boiled meat will separate easily from the bone when done . When roasted meats are done the flesh will yield easily to the fingers. In fowls or game the flesh of the leg will yield and show it is ready to separate from the bone , and in roasting before the fire, jets of steam will come from the side next the fire, just before the joint of meat is done.
