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.
- Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
- 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.
- 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.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Soak anchos in hot water until soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain water and stem and seed chiles. (Use gloves.) Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chiles in a roasting pan and roast in oven for 20 minutes until skins of tomatoes char. Remove and place all in blender or food processor and pulse briefly until pureed but still chunky. Pour into saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in salt, pepper and beer. Remove from heat and add cilantro. Serve warm. Makes 4 cups. Source: Neil Stuart, San Diego Chief
