Excerpt from Paper-Bag Cookery: With Nearly Two Hundred Recipes
"Paper-Bag Cookery" is the method of cooking food in a hot oven, having previously enveloped each article in paper, and thus cooking them in hot air and in the steam generated by their own juices. The method is fully explained and its advantages are clearly and incontestably set out in the following pages, but it may be well to sum up the latter succinctly in their order here that they may be taken in at a glance.
The greatest advantage of all is, of course, the great improvement in flavour and the retention in the food of its highest nutritive properties.
(1) Food cooked in a paper bag is superior in flavour and of higher nutritive value than that cooked in any other way.
The next advantage is its economy in time, in money, and in labour.
(2) Food cooked in a paper bag loses practically nothing
in weight.
(3) By cooking the entire dinner in paper bags in the
oven an immense saving in fuel is effected.
(4) Food cooked in a paper bag takes, as a rule, a much
shorter time to cook than when cooked by any other method.
(5) The entire meal may be prepared and placed in the
bags overnight, thus saving considerable time during the busy morning hours.
