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.

Method

  3. The time each of the above articles should take, depends much upon the state of the Oven, and I do consider the Baker a sufficient judge;
  4. — if they are sent to him in time, he must be very neglectful, if they are not ready at the time they are ordered.
