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. Roast the duckling for twenty minutes, and send it instantly to the table, where it should be treated as follows:—Remove the legs, which are not served;
  2. carve the fillets into fine slices, laid one against the other on a lukewarm dish.
  3. Chop up the carcass and press it, sprinkling it the while with a glassful of good red wine.
  4. Collect the gravy;
  5. add thereto a few drops of brandy, and with this liquor sprinkle the slices of breast, which should have been well seasoned.
  6. Put the dish on a chafer, and thoroughly heat without allowing to boil.
  7. Serve instantly.
