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

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.

Procure that which looks white and clean.
When it is to be used, examine it carefully, as there are sometimes little insects inside.
Wash it, and put it in a stew-pan in cold water enough almost to cover it.
Add a little salt.
Let it boil slowly half an hour;
then add a gill of milk and a small piece of butter, and boil it a quarter of an hour more.
Then put it into the dish in which it is to go to the table, grate old cheese over it, and heat a shovel red-hot and hold over the top to brown it.
It may be browned in a stove, but if the dish would be injured by it, the better way is to use the shovel.
