Poultry

-COWPER.

When poultry is brought into the kitchen for use, it should be kept as cool as possible. The best position in which to place it is with the breast downwards on a shelf or marble slab. The crop should be taken out.

Choose fowls with a thin, transparent skin, white and delicate. Time required to boil poultry : a chicken will take about 20 minutes; a fowl about 40 minutes; a small turkey an hour and a half; a large turkey two hours or more.
