Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
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.

Freshen 1 pt.
of salt codfish, add to it 1 qt.
chopped, boiled potatoes, mix well, cut three slices of salt pork in very small pieces and fry brown;
remove half the pork and add the fish and potatoes to the remainder;
let it stand and steam five minutes without stirring;
be careful not to let it burn;
then add 1/3 cup of milk, and stir well.
Put the remainder of the pork around the edge of the pan, and a little butter over it;
simmer slowly for 1/2 an hour, until a brown crust is formed, then turn on a platter and serve.
