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.

Take several young lettuces, wash them and remove their wilted leaves, tie the tops together, and lay the lettuces side by side in a baking-pan and pour in one and one-half inches of stock.
Cover the pan, and put it in a moderate oven for one-half an hour, adding stock when necessary.
Place a fork under the middle of each lettuce, raise and drain, and lay them doubled up on a hot dish.
Season the gravy in the pan with butter, salt, and pepper, thicken with one beaten egg, and pour it over the lettuce.
