LABORATORY COOK BOOK. 31
All foods yield heat when binned in the body, but the Nitrogenous
are more especially muscle and tissue building while the Carbonaceous
yield heat and muscular energy. Fresh air is important, together with
exercise, for a complete utilization of food that it may yield the great-
est efficiency to man.

II. Methods of Mixing.
(1) Mix starch and entire quantity of. cold water to a smooth
paste. Heat to boiling point. Note stirring necessary and the length
of time required to make the mixture clear.
(2) Mix the starch with four tablespoons of water. Kaise the
remaining portion to the boiling point; add the starch-paste slowly to
the boiling water.
(3) Pour the boiling water on the starch-paste.
III. Xote the following:
1. Compare the three methods as to length of time required,
efficiency.
2. Note change in color, consistency, and flavor.
3. Compare starch cooked five minutes with starch cooked thirty
minutes; hot and cold.
4. Note the thickness of each mixture while hot, and for what
purpose each might be suitable, e. g., for cream toast; for
cream soup; for croquettes.
5. Note the thickness of the mixture when cold; for what pur-
pose each might be suitable, e. g., cold pudding or a blanc
mange.
G. In using milk as the liquid, what change in method of cooking
would be necessary? When should flavoring be added?
Lemon, for example.
