SAUCES
Guide for Cooking Sauces
Sauces boil over rapidly, especially those that contain milk. As soon as the door is opened, cooking stops. If ingredients are not taken directly from the refrigerator, cooking time will be less than given in the recipe. Stir sauce quickly, about every 30 seconds to eliminate lumps. Be sure to use a container twice the size of the amount of liquid to prevent boiling over.
A wooden spoon may be left in the dish while sauce is cooking for easy stirring. If sauce is stirred slowly, cooking time may require about 15 seconds longer. If desired, a

SANDWICHES, INCLUDING HAMBURGERS AND HOT DOGS
Guide for Heating Sandwiches
Sandwiches heat very quickly because, being porous, they have a low density. Since the filling is usually more dense than the bread or rolls, the filling determines the heating time. Surprisingly, the filling will always be hotter than the bread feels. Care must be taken not to overcook as the bread will become tough. Use several thin slices of meat. Thin slices heat more quickly and are better than one thick slice. The slow heating thick slice often causes the bread to overcook before the meat is hot. Sandwiches may be placed on a paper plate, napkin or paper towel to be warmed. The sandwich should be covered with a
