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. Take a penny roll, pare off the crust, and cut the crumb into slices ;
  2. toast them on both sides a pale brown ;
  3. put them into a quart of water, let it simmer gently over the fire until the liquid becomes a jelly ;
  4. strain it through a thin cloth and flavour it with sugar and orange juice, or with a little broth and salt.
