(3) Empty the mixture into the can; never fill
the can more than three-quarters full, to allow
for expansion when freezing.
(4) Prepare ice by chipping finely or by
crushing in a canvas bag by means of a mallet.
(5) Allow three measures of ice to one of
coarse rock salt and pack this mixture solidly
around the can.
(6) Turn the crank slowly and steadily until
the mixture begins to freeze, then turn more
rapidly until frozen.
(7) Add more ice and salt as needed, but do not
draw off the salt water except to keep it from
getting inside the can.
2. Packing:
(1) When the mixture is frozen, draw off the
water, remove the dasher, and pack the contents
of the can down solidly with a spoon.
(2) Replace the cover, using a cork for the
opening, then repack in ice and salt (four
parts ice to one part salt).
(3) Cover with newspapers, blanket, or carpet,
and let it stand for at least one hour before
serving.
2. Moulding:
(1) Wet the mould and pack the frozen mixture
in solidly.
(2) Place the cover on the mould and bind
strips of greased cotton or waxed paper around
all the crevices.
(3) Imbed the mould in ice and salt (four parts
ice to one part salt).
(4) Wrap a cloth wrung from hot water around
the mould for an instant, before removing the
mixture.
PLANNING AND PREPARATION OF MEALS
The food work of the previous Forms, from constant reference and use,
should be so well known that it may be reviewed in one lesson, under the
following heads:
1. Uses of food
2. Necessary substances in food
3. Composition of the common foods--milk, eggs, meat, vegetables, fruit,
seeds
4. General sources of each food substance.
After the review, the class may be asked to prepare menus for one day's
meals, keeping in mind the following:
1. Daily balance of food substances
2. Appetizing appearance and flavour of the food
3. Economy of time, labour, and money in providing the food.
The preparation of menus may be continued, even while other work is
being studied, until the teacher feels satisfied with the ability of the
class to prepare menus intelligently.
The planning of menus should, if time permit, be extended to actual
practice in preparing and serving the meals called for by some of the
menus. In this Form there should be a limit set to the number of people
served and the cost of the food.
Since breakfast and luncheon were prepared in the Junior Form, a dinner
should be taken in this. The entire responsibility of the meal should be
given to the pupils, each being appointed to perform definite duties.
The teacher may advise while the class is planning the work, but not
assist while it is being carried out.
