Cook safely

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

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • 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. Coffee and tea have now become sneb universal beverages for tbe morning or after dinner meal, that beyond a few general directions little remains for prefatory matter.
  2. Coffee should be purchased in tbe berry, and fresh roasted, and it should always, when possible, be ground just previous to being made.
  3. After it is ground, it should not be exposed to the air, as the aroma speedily flies off.
  4. If more is ground than required for the meal, keep it in a closely-stopped glass bottle.
  5. Coffee, like tea, should be an infusion, not a decoction.
  6. The best coffee is the Mocha, the next is the Java, and closely approximating is the Jamaica and Berbice.
  7. Of tea little need be said ;
  8. almost every one knows the rules for making it.
  9. Boiling water should alone be used.
  10. Metal tea-pots in preference to earthenware.
  11. Silver is better than either.
  12. A spoonful of tea for each person.
  13. Heat the tea-pot first with some boiling water, then pour that into the tea-cups to warm them ;
  14. put in your tea, and pour enough water on the tea to coyer it ;
  15. let it stand three or four minutes, then nearly fill the tea-pot with water ;
  16. let it stand a few minutes, and pour out, leaving some portion of tea in the pot when you replenish, that all the strength may not be poured away in the first cup.
  17. Chocolate can only be obtained pure of a first-rate house ;
  18. that commonly sold is most infamously adulterated ;
  19. the best Spanish or Italian chocolate should be pm-chased ;
  20. the Florence has a high reputation.
  21. Cocoa is the foundation of chocolate, it may be pounded, and either boiled in milk, or boiling water may be poured upon it.
  22. It is very digestible, and of a fattening nature.
  23. In the present day, when adidteration is the rule and purity the exception, it may be useful to mention here that we have obtained the above articles in the purest state from the City firm of Messrs.
  24. Phillips & Co., 8, King William Street.
