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.
- 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.

- Take seven or eight peaches nearly ripe, split, take out the stones, and throw them into boiling water, taking them out as soon as you can peel off the skin.
- Next, boil a quarter of a pound of sugar with a glass of water, skim it well, and then put in the peaches to boil: reduce the sirup, should there be too much, and pour it over the peaches when dished for the dessert.
