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. To one pint strong made coffee, add the same quantity of boiling milk.
  2. The coffee should be first strained through muslin into the table-urn, then the milk poured in with it.
  3. Wrap the urn in a woollen cloth, if you have no “cozy,” for five minutes before serving.
  4. Send around sponge-cake, home-made or bought, with it.
