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.

Method

  1. To make cream candy take two pounds of light brown sugar, one teacup of water, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one of vinegar, and two of flavoring extract.
  2. Dissolve the sugar in the water, but do not stir it.
  3. Set it on to boil, let it boil briskly for twenty minutes, then try it by dropping a spoonful in a glass of cold water.
  4. If cooked enough to pull, butter some dishes and pour it into them;
  5. when cool enough to handle, pull it until it becomes as white as cream.
