Ham, Broiled

Slices of ham for breakfast may be either broiled on a gridiron, toasted, or fried. They are, we think, best when toasted on a fork. If broiled, the fire must be very clear. The ham should not be more than the eighth of an inch in thickness, and is better when soaked in hot water for a quarter of an hour, and then dried in a cloth before being cooked. Turn it as it gets crisp. Time, five or six minutes to broil. Probable cost, 1s. 2d. per pound.
