Overcooking is the prin cipal objection to canned meats, becausetl food that is otherwise excellent in quality has been spoiled in the process of cooking, and has, therefore, become prac tically unfit tor use. Meat mnst be cooked to a certain point, but once that point is reached furth er cooked is downright waste of material, both as regards qual ity and quantity. Good food is olten spoiled by two rapid cooking. Meat which is allowed to boil after the preliminary five minutes becomes bard, tough and tasteless, and is almost indigesti ble, owing to the hardening of the albumen all through the meat.
