Cook safely

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

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • 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.
  • 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. from the oven, the dish will be found full of gravy.
  2. Put to a sufficient portion for the sauce 2 anchovies finely chopped, a little grated lemon-peel, a glass of wine, Heading sauce, or lemon-pickle, and make it as thick as cream with Hour and butter, adding capers if desirable.
  3. A pike of 4 lbs., cut in slices, and crimped like codfish, and then fried, is as good eating as any fresh-water fish that comes to table.
  4. The teeth of the pike are peculiarly sharp, and have been known to tear open the hand in a frightful manner.
