Abstract

Rechauffe means to reheat. Frequently many cooks come across a few leftovers in their kitchens. In the interest of economy, a sound knowledge of the left over foods is necessary. These leftovers should be used in some form or the order. Many tasty and interesting dishes can be prepared, but care should be taken that the food is thoroughly and carefully reheated. It is also important that only sound food is used. "If there is doubt, throw it out." If meat is overcooked, it will toughen the fibers and harden the proteins, thus making food indigestible and unpalatable.
