Flour Meat

Ever been told to flour meat in your favorite recipe? Want to do so without making a big mess or wasting flour? Here's how.

Ingredients

 * All-purpose flour
 * Meat (steak, pork, etc., whatever your recipe says)

Steps

 * 1) [[Image:Flour_872.jpg|thumb|An all-purpose flour works best for coating meat.]]Spread a very thin coat of flour evenly along the bottom of a large, round container that has steep, short sides.
 * 2) Prepare your meat as directed in the recipe. Holding the edges, place the meat in the floured container.  Press gently.
 * 3) Lift the meat out, and, holding it in one hand, add more flour to the container until the bottom is lightly covered again.
 * 4) Holding the edges, again place the meat in the floured container, and press gently.
 * 5) After you have lifted the meat out the second time, transfer it immediately to your skillet and cook as directed.

Tips

 * To add some kick to your meat, add in a little paprika or chili powder to the flour.

Warnings

 * When cooking with a skillet over high heat, be very careful to avoid being burned.
 * If you drop the meat in, it will create a cloud of flour - gently place the meat in the container to avoid any messes.
