Cook safely

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

  • 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. Cut the artichokes evenly to within two-thirds of their height;
  2. trim them all round;
  3. string them, and plunge them into slightly-salted boiling water.
  4. Cook them rather quickly;
  5. drain them well, just before serving them, and remove the string.
  6. Dish on a napkin, and send a butter, a Hollandaise, or a mousseline sauce, &c., at the same time.
  7. When artichokes, cooked in this way, have to be served cold, remove their chokes, dish them on a napkin, and send a Vinaigrette sauce separately.
