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.

  2. of rump or beef steak.

  5. tie a piece of paper over the top.
  6. Put the jar to stand in a saucepan of boiling water for four hours.
  7. Pour the tea from the beef, and remove the fat when cold;
  8. salt can be added to taste.
