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.

Method

  1. 12 large hard-shelled clams for 1 pint of broth.
  2. Boil the clams and juice for twenty minutes;
  3. strain and let it stand to settle;
  4. strain it again carefully into a saucepan, and let it boil up once;
  5. season with butter and pepper--no salt--and serve in cups with whipped cream on top.
  6. To open the clams and obtain the juice, place the clams, after they have been carefully washed with a brush and clear water, in a saucepan;
  7. add two tablespoonfuls of hot water;
  8. cover and let them steam until the shells open;
  9. then strain off the liquor.
