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. (Recipe dated 1845) 1 dessert spoonful of ground coffee, 1 pint of milk, 2 shavings of isinglass.
  2. “Boil the coffee, milk and isinglass together for a quarter of an hour.
  3. Allow this to stand for ten minutes, and pour the liquid off.” It might seem wise to sweeten this slightly, as “isinglass” was the name applied to what we now know as “gelatine,” would suggest that a teaspoonful of powdered gelatine would be a sufficient quantity to use.
