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.

- Allow three large table-spoonfuls of oatmeal or Indian meal to a quart of water.
- Put the meal into a large bowl, and add the water, a little at a time, mixing and bruising the meal with the back of a spoon.
- As you proceed, pour off the liquid into another bowl, every time, before adding fresh water to the meal, till you have used it all up.
- Then boil the mixture for twenty minutes, stirring it all the while;
- add a little salt.
- Then strain the gruel and sweeten it.
- A piece of butter may be stirred into it;
- and, if thought proper, a little wine and nutmeg.
- It should be taken warm.
