  1. Water
  2. Cut
  3. a pound of lean beef

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 a pound of lean beef into pieces, pour a pint of ~ boiling water over it, and put it on the fire to raise the scum.
  2. Skim it clean, let it boil ten minutes, strain it off, and let it settle.
  3. Pour it clean from the settling, and it will be fit for use.
  4. Boil it longer if wanted very strong.
