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. Take good Mocha or Java coffee, pick out any trash that may be in it, blow off the dust, toast it a good brown, turning it (if in a toaster) or stirring it (if in a skillet) constantly until it is done.
  2. Then grind it, pour it in the coffee pot, and pour on boiling water.
  3. Set it on the fire and let it boil fifteen minutes.
  4. Half a pint of toasted unground coffee will make three pints of coffee, that is, put that quantity of water to that measure of coffee.
  5. Put a teaspoonful of the white of egg in the coffee after putting it in the boiler;
  6. pour on two or three tablespoonfuls of cold water and mix the egg, coffee, and water together.
