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.

Cut each root into pieces two inches in length, and each piece into quarters;
boil in water containing a little salt and one tablespoonful of vinegar.
When tender drain, place the strips on a napkin, and send to table with drawn butter.
This vegetable is seldom used except as a condiment or sauce ingredient.

It makes an excellent dish when used in equal portions with any vegetables handled in making fritters.
