To Boil Meats

Directions

  1. Wash and dress the meat.

  2. Place the meat in a pot of hot water over a gentle fire.

  3. Keep the meat covered with water, adding boiling water as needed.

  4. Cover the pot to prevent boiling over and remove any scum that arises.

  5. Place a plate at the bottom of the pot to prevent scorching.

  6. If using frozen meat, thaw it in cold water for 1-2 hours before cooking.
