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. Fillet several dozen of anchovies, then chop them up fine with some of their own liquor strained, add to it a cupful of water, boil them gently until the fish is dissolved, then strain it, and, when cold, bottle it.
