Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
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.

Grate lightly into very fine crumbs four ounces of stale bread, and shake them through a cullender;
without rubbing or touching them with the hands.
Dissolve two ounces of fresh butter in a frying-pan, throw in the crumbs, and stir them constantly over a moderate fire, until they are all of a clear golden colour;
lift them out with a skimmer, spread them on a soft cloth, or upon white blotting paper, laid upon a sieve reversed, and dry them before the fire.
They may be more delicately prepared by browning them in a gentle oven without the addition of butter.
Footnote 59: This is not necessary when they are lightly and finely grated of uniform size.
Bread, 4 oz.;
butter, 2 oz.
