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.
  • 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. One and one-half pounds of codfish, thick boneless slice.
  2. Put in a baking-pan with a pinch of salt and tablespoonful of butter spread on the top.
  3. Put a half cupful of hot water in the pan and place in the oven to bake one-half hour, baste four times.
  4. When the fish is done serve on a hot platter with a gravy made from the drippings in the pan.
