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. Scrub the artichokes.
  2. Have ready a large basin of water with about a tablespoonful of vinegar in it, peel the artichokes thinly, dipping them frequently into the vinegar and water to prevent them from turning black.
  3. Place them in enough boiling water, containing a little salt and about a teaspoonful of lemon juice or vinegar, to quite cover them, and boil gently till quite tender, about 35 minutes when young, longer when old.
  4. Drain well, and serve covered with melted butter sauce.
