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. The tail part is generally cheap, therefore the receipt is given for that part.
  2. Put it into boiling water with a tablespoonful of salt and the same of vinegar.
  3. Boil up quickly, skim, then simmer for a quarter of an hour, unless it be off avery large fish, in that case give it five minutes longer.
  4. Place a neatly folded napkin, or very white cloth, on the drainer, put the fish upon it, and send it to table with either of the sauces that follow.
