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.
  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
  • 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. Take three cups of light brown sugar and one cup of cream.
  2. Boil until nearly done;
  3. drop in a lump of butter the size of a walnut.
  4. Try in cold water and when it rolls in a soft ball between the fingers and thumb, remove from the fire.
  5. Add nuts and beat until nearly cold.
  6. Pour in buttered tins and cut in squares.
