by boiling is based on drcful experi nents carried out sonic years agu by a

keeping the water boiling throughout
the cooking process. If the meat is put
into cold water, deduct half the time
-ectuired to bring the water to a boil.
Examples: How long should a 10 -pound ham c boiled if placed in boilin water? Ten rMultiplied by 18 equals
10 minutes, or 3 hours. How long
should a 10-pound ham be boiled if

Ten multiplied by 18 hours minus 30
equals 150 minutes, or 2% hours after
boiling begins.
