Frozen Foods No Time To Gook * * * * * Make Home Safer In Winter PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER -WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24. 1979 When there's little or no time to cook, make it fish. Frozen or thawed, fish cooks quickly and easily. The only rule to remember Do not overcook it. In general, fish is done when the flesh turns creamy white and becomes flaky. Breaded frozen fish sticks, fish portions, shrimp and crabcakes usually are best prepared by deep fat frying or oven-finished, without prior thawing. Here are some tips for conveniently preparing frozen fish and seafood by thehnost popular methods. PAN FRYING--Thaw frozen fillets and pat dry. Season lightly and roll fish in a mixture of flour and cracker meal or commeal. Coat bottom of heavy skillet with oil or shortening, and fry fish over moderate heat until browned on both sides. Thickness of fish will determine frying time, but it is generally eight to ten minutes. Drain on absorbent paper and serve. DEEP FAT FRYING--Fill half of a deep kettle with fat and heat to 350 degrees. Place a single layer of small fish portions or fillets in a wire frying basket and lower basket gently into kettle to prevent excess bubbling. Fry until golden brown, usu ally three to five minutes. Drain fish on absorbent paper, return fat to 350 degrees and fry remaining fish. BAKING--Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place thawed fish fillets or steaks on greased baking pan. Season fish lightly and brush with butter, oil or sauce. Bake 15 to 25 minutes, depend ing on size and thickness of fish, or until fish flakes easily. Fish may be BastedSJuring baking. BROILING--Brush fish with butter or oil, then place a single layer on well-greased broiler rack. Since broiling heat is direct and intense, keep fish three to four inches from heat. Baste well with shortening or sauce during broiling to keep fish moist. Thicker portions and whole fish should be turned halfway through the broiling period. Allow five to ten minutes to cook if fish is thawed, and 10 to 15 minutes if frozen. Jack Frost and his friends, snow and sleet, have been keeping home owners more inside than outside the home during the long winter ahead. This spare time gives home owners and their families the opportunity to take some simple precautions against home accidents, personal in juries and property damage, says the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) I.I.I, suggests that home owners, follow these simple precautions s part of their things-to-do list during winter: -Clean out basements, closets and attics of old rags, papers, mattresses and other odds and ends. -Tightly cap all Combustible materials and store them in cool, high places, out of children's reach. Warn family members never to use gasoline, benzine, or other flammable materials inside your home during the winter months. Improper ventilation could result in an explosion or fire. -Remove all clutter from basement steps to prevent falls. -Check all gutters to make sure no objects are blocking the entrances. Otherwise, snow and water could back-up and ruin the roof and walls of our home. -Keep all outside walkways and steps clear of snow and ice. -Store bags of salt near all home entrances for easy distribution after snow storms. -If you have a snow blower, take it to your local dealer for an initial service cleaning. -Check the installation of storm windows and check all window locks to make sure your home is secure. -Take a personal inventory of all household goods and personal effects and photograph each room. Store inventory list outside the home in a safety deposit box. I.I.I, also suggests that home owners visit their local police station and borrow an iden tification pen to mark their social security number of name on valuables to deter burglars. The winter is long and to date, severe. But home owners' safety precautions will make their homes much safer for their families and friends, says I.I.I. Original Design in Hardwood NUTRITION ̂ ¥ & IIIDI Ju Jl \i\*& What You Need To Know If you have difficulty un derstanding nutrition label ing, you're not alone. A recent Food and Drug Ad ministration (FDA) survey found that fewer than a * third of the country's food shoppers actually know how to read labels and use the information they find there. What nutrition informa tion should you expect to find on a label? Well, nutri tion labeling should contain the amounts of calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals per serving. Most people seem to un derstand the listing of car bohydrate, fat, and calories. However, a source of confu sion appears to be the sec tion containing the percent of United States Recom mended Dietary Allowance (U.S. RDA) for vitamins, minerals, and protein. To help you understand the U.S. RDA, here are a few facts you should know: • The U.S. RDA is de fined as the daily amount of *jjtamins, minerals, and pro tein established by the FDA as essential for maintaining good nutrition. • There are U.S. RDA's for four categories of peo ple: adults and children 4 or sumer ideas for nutrition labeling. These ideas will then be thoroughly tested for consumer understanding.

Because of consumer con fusion, the FDA is planning to review the contents of nutrition labels. The most controversial aspect will be whether to include more information-x>r less. Some consumer advocates feel nutrition labels should list only calories, fat, and cho lesterol. Others insist that these labels should be lengthened to include all factors contributing to good nutrition. Food manufacturers will request and utilize con- Courthouse Squares mmmmmwnm Come...
