The housekeeper who does her own work can save much time by introducing a few of these menus at her table. The preparation of foods in this manner requires less water, it is more of a steaming process, and fewer dishes and utensils are needed. Dishwashing becomes a burden in many a large household and the intelligent homekeeper studies economy in all directions.
