Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Wipe, pare, core, and slice the apples Lay a stripe of puff-paste round the edge of the dish.
  2. Put in a layer of the sliced fruit, then sugar and whatever seasonings you use.
  3. Proceed in this manner till the dish is heaped, keeping the fruit highest in the middle.
  4. Cover it with puff-paste, and ornament the top with leaves, flowers, &c.
  5. Obs.
  6. — A variety of apples are used for baking, though russetings, and such as are a little acid, are esteemed the best.
  7. Apple-pie is generally seasoned with pounded cinnamon and cloves, lemon-grate, quince marmalade, candied citron or orange-peel.
  8. If the apples have become dry and insipid, the parings and cores may be boiled with a stick of cinnamon, and the strained liquor added to the pie.
  9. Apple-pie is liked best hot.
  10. It was wont to be buttered, and this is still the practice in some provincial situations in England, though buttered pease and buttered applepie, for some reason which we do not comprehend, have latterly come to be considered ungenteel, if not absolutely vulgar.
  11. Puttering is performed by putting a piece of butter into the hot pie when it is cut open.
  12. Apples must be thrown into a basin of water as they are pared, or they will become black.
