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.
- 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.

- ** elbow macaroni *** chunky
- 1. Pour the beef broth and macaroni into saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender, about 5 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a frying pan, stirring to break up any large chunks, until the meat is brown; drain off the fat.
- 3. Drain the beans (reserve the liquid). Puree 1 cup of beans with all of the reserved liquid in a blender. When the macaroni is tender, stir the pureed beans, whole beans, cooked meat and spaghetti sauce into the pot. Heat through and serve.
