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.

- TAKE as much of the powder of brown cassia as will lie upon two shillings, with as much musk and ambergris as is thought proper: the cassia and perfume must be powdered together.
- Then take a quarter of a pound of sugar, and boil it to a candy height, put in the powder and mix it well together.
- Pour it into saucers, which must be buttered very thin, and when it is cold it will slip out.
