Leave the paper on in such a way that it can be easily removed when the forcemeat has steamed enough. One and a half hours before dinner place the timbale in a stewpan twice its size, upon a ring, to prevent it from touching the bottom, so that the water in the stewpan which only reaches half-way up the mould, may circulate freely under it.
