  3. 4 pints of water
  4. Stock

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. Ingredients--2 calf's feet.
  2. 4 pints of water.
  3. Method.--Cut each foot into four pieces.
  4. Blanch them by putting them in cold water and bringing them to the boil.
  5. Throw the water away, and well wash the feet.
  6. Put them into a saucepan, with four pints of water, and boil gently for five hours.
  7. Then strain the stock from the bones, and set it aside until the next day.
  8. The fat must then be carefully removed, or the stock will not clear.
