To Boil Meats
Ingredients
Directions
Wash and dress the meat.
Place the meat in a pot of hot water over a gentle fire.
Keep the meat covered with water, adding boiling water as needed.
Cover the pot to prevent boiling over and remove any scum that arises.
Place a plate at the bottom of the pot to prevent scorching.
If using frozen meat, thaw it in cold water for 1-2 hours before cooking.
