Cook safely

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

  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.

  1. 1 gallon milk, 15 tablespoonfuls sugar, 1 dozen eggs, 1 pint Jamaica rum, 1 pint brandy, 1' grated nutmeg.
  2. Beat the yolks of the eggs and sugar until light, add the brandy and rum, stirring constantly, nutmeg, then milk (or part cream), and cover the well-beaten whites of the eggs.
