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. One pint of Indian meal.
  2. A heaping teaspoonful of butter.
  3. A pinch of salt.
  4. A teaspoonful of sugar.

  6. When cool enough, break into it three unbeaten eggs, adding two tablespoonfuls of cold milk.
