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. Pare and bake the fruit, when cold mix the pulp of the apple with sugar and shred lemon-peel, lay it in thin paste, and bake it in a quick oven : twenty minutes will do them.
  2. Orange or quince marmalade is a great improvement to apples, in whatever manner they are used.
  3. Preserved quinces to add to tarts.
  4. Pare and core the fruit, then slice it, and boil till soft ;
  5. to every four pounds of fruit, put three pounds of sugar, and boil the whole till it acquires a sufficient consistency.
  6. A little of this in apple-pies, tarts, &c.
  7. is truly excellent.
  8. Cod lin- tart.
  9. Scald the fruit, then take off the skin, and lav them whole in a dish, with a little of the water in which the apples were boiled ;
  10. strew them over with lump sugar, and when cold, put a paste round the edges, and cover with a good crust.
