Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- 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.

- Rub into it two spoonfuls of salt, and put into boiling water to cover.
- Simmer gently three hours, if it weighs nine or ten pounds, and is tender.
- If old and tough it will take longer.
