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.

- These are best steamed.
- Boil two cups of water in your largest pail.
- Put in two or three large handfuls of grass and then the crabs, as soon as possible after they are caught.
- Over them put more grass, and, covering the pail, let them steam thoroughly over the fire for twenty minutes.
- When done, eat all except the shell, the gills and the stomach, which last is in an easily distinguished sack.
- Be sure to have sufficient water in the pail to keep up the steam for the requisite time.
