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. Crimped cod, like crimped salmon, is preferable to the plain, and is better cut in slices and cooked than to cook the whole fish.
  2. Youshould have the water boiling with one pound of salt to every six quarts otf water when you put in the fish, then draw it to the corner of the stove, then let it simmer twenty minutes to half an hour;
  3. when it is done the bones in the centre will leave with facility;
  4. be careful you do not boil it too much, for it will cause the fish to eat tough and stringy, and observe in boiling cod that is not crimped to put some salt in the water, it will make the fish cut firmer.
