Cook safely

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

  • 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.

Method

  1. 1 quart of cranberries.
  2. Pick them over and wash them, then chop them a little.
  3. 1-1/2 cups of cold water.
  4. 2 cups of sugar.
  5. Boil five minutes;
  6. rub while hot through a sieve, and pour into a pretty mold.
  7. This rule, of course, had to be doubled for two molds.
  8. They found it was not very easy to get the cranberries through the sieve;
  9. by talking turns, however, they were slowly squeezing them through when Norah came to their aid and gave them the wooden potato-masher to use instead of the spoon they were working with.
  10. The molds were set away to get hard, and then they asked their mother for something else to do.
  11. "I've been thinking," she said, "that we ought to have for supper something the men would like very much;
  12. they will have had turkey once already, and perhaps they will be tired of it.
  13. Would you like scalloped oysters?" "Mother, we'd perfectly love them!" exclaimed Mildred.
  14. "But do you think we could make them?
  15. I always thought they were very hard to make." "My dear, they are the easiest thing in the world.
  16. To save time, you may copy the rule now, and then to-morrow, when everybody is here, I will not have to stop visiting and explain it."
