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.

Method

  1. Soak the contents of a tin of Nelson’s Beef Tea in a gill of water for ten minutes.
  2. Add to this the third of an ounce packet of Nelson’s Gelatine, which has been soaked for two or three hours in half-a-pint of cold water.
  3. Put the mixture in a stewpan, and stir until it reaches boiling-point.
  4. Then put it into a mould which has been rinsed with cold water.
  5. When thoroughly cold, this will turn out a most inviting and extremely nutritious dish.
