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.

- Cook a few minutes, then pour into the greased frying-pan, and set into a bed of coals.
- Bake about forty minutes.
- Measurements cannot be given exactly in camp recipes, because appetite and the number of people vary so widely.
- It is safe to allow very generous portions, however, for what whets the appetite like a day in the air and the exercise of canoeing ?
- Everything points toward a bully good summer for camping, and now that school is over I hope you will all have the opportunity to go.
- Don't forget the prize contest for a camping story, with a Stevens Rifle as first prize.
- Your story must be genuine, and to be that you must have personal experience.
- The prizes are not the only inducement for a camp ;
- but just think of the fun, the good times hunting and fishing, the fresh air and learning how to make camp, build fires, cook, etc.
- Then when you sit around the fire winter evenings, you and Fred and Harry will recall some interesting incident and soon all the good times will be gone over ;
- and later on plan for the next season.
