  2. a handful of salt
  3. Must
  4. Water

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 off the outer leaves, and wash them, quarter them if large, if small cut them in half, and boil them in plenty of water, with a handful of salt.
  2. When ten-der, drain them in a cullender, but do not press them.
  3. Savoys and greens must be boiled in the same man- ner, but always by themselves, by which means they will eat crisp, and be of a good colour.
