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.
  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.

Method

  1. Put one cup sugar on stove in half cup water, let it simmer until it becomes golden brown, then add four tablespoons brandy and a teaspoon lemon juice;
  2. thicken with a tablespoon cornstarch dis¬ solved in half cup water, let it come to a boil, color with a little kitchen bouquet if not sufficiently brown.
  3. Serve hot or cold.
  4. If cold, add to this one cup of whipped cream.
  5. It is then called Sauce de Creme a la Caramel.
