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.
  • 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. Never boil chocolate in milk, as that spoils the flavor;
  2. and do not scrape it, but merely cut it into pieces.
  3. To an ounce of chocolate allow a cup of boiling water.
  4. Having first scalded the pot, put in the chocolate, pour the water on it, and boil it till one third has evaporated.
  5. Then supply that third with cream or milk, and take it immediately from the fire.
  6. You need not stir it more than two or three times.
