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.
  • 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. One pint of well cooked salted pearl barley, two cups of finely chopped figs (the best), one-half cup of sugar, two cups of milk.
  2. Mix thoroughly, turn into an earthen pudding dish, and place the dish in the oven in a pan half full of boiling water;
  3. bake slowly until the milk is nearly absorbed.
  4. Stir once or twice that the figs may be distributed equally through the pudding.
  5. A delicious pudding, which requires no sauce.
