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. One-quarter peck green tomatoes, ten onions, one-half head cabbage, two dozen green cucumbers.
  2. Chop these fine, salt, and let stand over night.

  4. Boil all until onions and tomatoes are tender.
  5. Add one wine glass of salad oil when the pickle is cold.
