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. Prepare some breadcrumbs by rubbing stale bread through a wire sieve.
  2. Supposing there is half a pint of bread-crumbs, put them into about half a pint of milk.
  3. As much milk is required as the bread will soak up.
  4. Cover for ten minutes, then put the bread and milk into a saucepan with a whole onion skinned and six peppercorns.
  5. Stir the sauce over the fire till it boils, then add a pinch of salt and about an ounce of butter, and stir till the butter is dissolved.
  6. Take out the onion and peppercorns, add four table-spoonfuls of milk, or cream if it may be permitted, boil once more, and serve.
  7. It is a mistake to make this sauce very long before it is wanted.
