Cook safely

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.
  • 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. Soak, drain and wipe it dry as directed.
  2. Cut it in slices and put them in a crockery or other pan ;
  3. turn a white sauce all over, then sprinkle on half a gill of vinegar or the juice of a lemon, dust with breadcrumbs, put half a dozen lumps of butter, each about the size of a hazelnut, all over;
  4. bake in a rather quick oven.
