Cook safely

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.
  • 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.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
  • 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. Cold potatoes (boiled) fried whole in beef drippings suet fat (buy that around the kidneys and try it out like lard) are quite as nice as the “browned potatoes’’ cooked in the pan with roast beef.
  2. Wheat Griddle Cakes, Sirup — There is a special art in making good griddle cakes, and once learned people need never have poor ones.
  3. The following is a never-failing recipe: One and one-half pints of milk, two coffeecups of sifted flour, three eggs, one-half teaspoonful salt, two rather heaping teaspoonfuls baking powder.
  4. Beat the yolks of the eggs well and add to them the milk, mixing together thoroughly.
  5. Put the flour in a bowl and pour on part of the milk.
  6. Now beat this thick batter briskly for three or four minutes (to aerate it), put the baking powder in the remaining milk, mix and add to the batter, and lastly add the beaten whites of eggs.
  7. This batter will answer equally well for waffles.
  8. The thinner the batter the more delicate the cake or waffle.
  9. Soyer’s Eggs — Slice two or three large onions very thin and fry' till a nice brown.
  10. Have ready five or six hard-boiled eggs (boiled thirty minutes they are perfectly digestible), cut in slices, and a half-bowl of good gravy.
  11. Add first the gravy, then the eggs, stirring gently to blend (do not break the eggs), cook a minute or two and serve very hot.
  12. Season the onions with pepper and salt.
  13. Cold Asparagus Salad — Left over from dinner, makes a delicious salad for luncheon with ordinary French dressing;
  14. or, better still, a little mayonnaise.
