Laboratory Exercises (General Rules for Cooking Put)

General Rules for Cooking. 1. Put water and salt in upper part of double boiler and place over fire. 2. When water is boiling, add cereal slowly so as not to stop the boiling of the water. 3. Boil until just too thick to pour, occasionally lift the mixture lightly with a fork to keep it from sticking. (If it is stirred vigorously with a spoon it will become sticky and pasty.) 4. When it is thick enough, place it over hot water and cook from one to four hours.

Note. Cereals should always be cooked twice as long as required by the directions given on the package.
