A historical recipe

Many Ways for Cooking Eggs, by S. T. Rorer. Project Gutenberg eBook #6429.

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

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. Put a poached egg on top of a flat codfish cake, pour over cream or tomato sauce, and send to the table.
