Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • 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. Boil a small onion and a bay-leaf in a cupful of milk for fifteen minutes, and then strain them out.
  2. Stir into the milk three table - spoonfuls of fine white breadcrumbs, cook three minutes, add one table - spoonful of butter, salt and white pepper to taste, and a grate of a nutmeg, and take from the fire.
  3. Put in a sauce-boat and strew over the top of the sauce a table-spoonful of crumbs fried brown.
