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.

- This famous Tuscan dish is a quaint way to cook fresh white shelled beans. To do it the traditional way, strip the straw covering from a Chianti bottle. Fill the bottle with beans, olive oil and herbs. Bake it for 3 hours in a bed of charcoal ashes. The flavor of the smoke and oil perfumes the delicate beans, which you can then use as part of an antipasto arrangement. If you don't have a convenient bottle, you may use a casserole dish. And if you don't have fresh beans, use dried ones that you have soaked.
