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.

One peck of green tomatoes and a large onion chopped fine, throw over them one teacupful of salt, let stand over night, next day drain and boil in two quarts of water and one of vinegar fifteen or twenty minutes, drain again and boil in two quarts of vinegar, two pounds brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls mustard seed, one of ground mustard, one of cinnamon, one of cloves and allspice, teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, one teaspoonful of ginger.
