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.

Seven pounds of Sugar, one quart of Water;
when it comes to a boil add six grated Cocoanuts, and stir until it reaches a good thread;
set it off on a barrel and add a drop or two of blueing;
now with the spatula, granulate the batch by working it on the sides of the basin, and stirring the whole batch until it becomes white;
then pour out on a sugared slab;
by this is meant, having arranged the iron bars to hold the batch;
sieve over the inclosed surface pulverized Sugar, also over the tops of the bars;
then turn the bars over carefully, so the sugared edge will be on the inside of the enclosure.
In this space having poured the batch smooth it down with a palette knife, and let remain over night if possible;
then cut into bars;
use no flavor.
