Garst is still confined to her Crisco fried chicken frying chicken, heat Crisco very hot; then drop in a few pieces of chicken at a time. They will fry so quickly that the batter instantly forms a crisp crust which prevents absorption. This preserves the full flavor of the meat so that you secure the real chicken flavor. In addition to producing better results, Crisco's high frying point makes your fried foods, drier and more healthful. The first time you use Crisco for frying, you will appreciate that Crisco fried foods look better, taste better and are more easily digested.

This high temperature, at which you can fry in Crisco, is impractical with lard. When you try to heat lard to such a point, it will both scorch and burn. he Sold in 25c packages by all grocers TEETH THAT FIT CAST ALUMINUM PLATES Lightest Cleanest Strongest Perfect SAY Best Fitting THE BEAUTIFUL MANNER IN WHICH WE REPLACE MISSING TEETH CANNOT BE DUPLICATED IN THE CITY AT ANY PRICE.
