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 slices thin ;
  2. lay a down of sliced lard, then of steaks, fine herbs, and spices, and so on till you have done ;
  3. add a glass of brandy, and stop the pot very well with paste to keep the steam in ;
  4. let it simmer five or six hours, on a very slow fire.
  5. They may be served either hot or cold.
