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

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.
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.
Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
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.

Preheat grill or broiler. Bring 3 cups water to boil in a small saucepan.
In a mixing bowl, stir together cooked beans, rosemary, 2 tablespoons of the virgin olive oil, red onion, marjoram and juice and zest of lemon. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Plunge mint leaves into boiling water for 30 seconds and remove to ice bath. Squeeze excess liquid from leaves and process in food processor 1 minute with remaining 6 ounces olive oil. Set aside.
Mix mache with beans and arrange in center in 4 plates. Season prawns with salt and pepper, brush with oil and grill until cooked through. Remove from grill and stack 3 on each plate against mache and beans in tepee fashion. Drizzle with mint oil and serve.
