Cook safely

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

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • 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.
  • 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. Cook a cupful of spaghetti in two and a half quarts of boiling salted water, a tablespoonful of butter, and an onion stuck with three cloves.
  2. Drain and remove the onion.
  3. Reheat in two cupfuls of tomato sauce, adding half a cupful of grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Fry three chopped fresh mushrooms in butter for five minutes, and add to the mixture.
  5. Turn in the casserole, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and brown slightly.
  6. After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations.
