Description: More Than Twenty Thousand Cooks and would-be cooks over the country have already discovered this book and placed it upon their kitchen shelves because it alone of the many cookbooks on the market is concerned with the scientific reasons for cooking successes and failures. 

Eighteen years ago, Hows and Whys of Cooking was introduced into the laboratories, where it served primarily as a text in explaining the chemical processes involved in cooking. Then it found its way into America's homes and soon became, a successful guide to the use of housewives' favorite recipes. 

Now completely revised and re-written, this cookbook is capable of serving both as a book of methods and as a storehouse of recipes. Hows and Whys of Cooking contains clear instructions for the use of pressure saucepans, new information about the making of refrigerator ice-cream, and additional material about the inspection and grading of beef. There are thirty-six new illustrations, ten of which explain a new process for making successful piecrust.
