Excerpt from The New Helping Hand: A Collection of Family Receipts
These receipts have been contributed by housekeepers who have used and proved them. The book is not intended to take the place of a scientific cook book. It aims only to do what its title indicates - help those who are accustomed to cooking, and who know just how and when to use judgment. Cooking is made much easier in these days, by the convenient cooking utensils which can be bought for a small amount, and which, once having, one would never be without. Among these conveniences are the tin "cup measure," - there should be two in your closet, one divided into thirds, the other into quarters. One or two double boilers, either of granite ware or porcelain; a soup kettle; two tin sheets, nearly the size of the oven, for baking cookies; a frying basket; at least three wire broilers, one for steak, a fine one for oysters or fish, the third for toasting bread. A dozen earthen cups make a little change from the ordinary gem pan, for baking breakfast cakes, and are very nice for steaming fruit or suet puddings. A few receipts have been added in this edition for the benefit of invalids, and it is hoped they may be found inviting and useful.
