  • 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. Put eight ounces of pounded lump sugar, and a table-spoonful of water, into a saucepan ;
  2. set it over a slow fire, and stir it continually with a wooden spoon till it is of a bright brown colour, and begins to smoke ;
  3. then put in an ounce of salt, and ddute it gradually with water till it is of the consistence of soy ;
  4. then let it boil, take off the scum, and strain it into bottles, which must be well corked.
  5. — Another browning may be had by pounding a tea-spoonful of lump sugar, and putting it in an iron spoon, with as much water as will dissolve it, then hold it over the fire till it becomes of a dark colour;
  6. when it may be mixed with your sauce, soup, or gravy while hot.
