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.
  • 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.

Method

  1. _ Take two quarts of corn meal, and pour boiling water on one-half of it.
  2. Mix up the rest with cold water, and when it is all worked together and lukewarm, put in three tablespoonfuls of yeast, and one of salt.
  3. Work it well, and set it to rise in a wooden bowl.
