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. Melt a quarter of a pound of butter more or less, according to the quantity of sauce required.
  2. Throw in a handful of table salt and whip it with a fork until it becomes frothy.
  3. Pour it into a warm sauce tureen and serve with boiled fish.
