ANDAPPETIZERS
Hot hors
d'oeuvres
andappetizers

very
quickly

ess,
or individual
servings
maybe prepared
by guests.
Many

metal
trim.
A timesaver
tip
-
prepare
these
foods
ahead
of time,
refiigerate
or freeze
and
refresh
in the oven
at serving
time.
A plate
of appetizers
will
takeonlyieconds
to prepare
or refresh.
Cheese
melts
very
rapidly
andwilltoughen
if overcooked,
so watch
foods
com-
bined
withcheese
closely
so thatovercooking
willnot occur.
As soon
as cheese
starts
to
bubble,
cooking
is completed.
Appetizers
thathave
a crisp
pastry
exterior
arebestprepared
in a conventional
oven.To
prepare
appetizers
wrapped
in baCon,
it will be necessary
to
precook
the bacon
and
then
wrap
around
thefoods.
Oysters
wrapped
in bacon
areeasier
to
prepare
in the broiler
of yourconventional
range.
Seafood
mixtures
can
be prepare
in
serving
shells
as microwave
energy
willpass
through
the
seafood
shells
without
heating.
Aluminum
foilshould
not
be used
forshells.
lf spreads
are
placed
on crackers,
care
should
be taken
notto overcook
as moisture
from
the foodwillcause
crackers
to become
soggy.
Crackers
used
for spreads
should
be very
dry andcrispy.
Thishelps
avoid
sogginess,
HLli
onlyuntil
spread
is at serving
temperature.
The
time required
to freat
atlappetilers
will de-
pend
on
the
amount
of food,
andthe
number
and
the
type
of dishselecied.
Remember
the foodwill
become
very
hot
even
if the
dishis cool,
Cheese
mixtures
retain
heat
longer
whenheated
