Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • 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. Boil six medium-sized potatoes (sweet) until almost tender, peel, cut in halves lengthwise or slice, place in baking dish.
  2. Cook together one cup brown sugar and one half cup water for five minutes.
  3. Add one tablespoon butter.
  4. Sprinkle potatoes with cinnamon.
  5. Pour the sauce over the potatoes.
  6. Bake until brown in moderate oven (3500 F.).
