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.

Many people boil chocolate in a coffee-pot;
but I think it is better to boil it in a skillet, or something open.
A piece of chocolate about as big as a dollar is the usual quantity for a quart of water;
but some put in more, and some less.
When it boils, pour in as much milk as you like and let them boil together three or four minutes.
It is much richer with the milk boiled in it.
Put the sugar in either before or after, as you please.
Nutmeg improves it.
The chocolate should be scraped fine before it is put into the water.
