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.

- Select potatoes of uniform size, and pare;
- place in a frying pan and add water to a depth of about one-half inch.
- Add one tablespoonful of butter or other shortening, and one tablespoonful of brown or white sugar.
- Cover and let boil furiously.
- The water will soon disappear as steam, and the potatoes will brown in the syrup that remains, which forms a delicious crust, keeping in the steam and flavor.
