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. Mix half an ounce of isinglass with a quart of cream, and boil it softly over a slow tire a quarter of an hour, stirring it all the time.
  2. Take it oft', sweeten it, and put in a spoonful of rosewater, and another of orange-flower water.
  3. Strain it, pour it into a glass or basin, and when cold turn it out for use".
