Cook safely

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.

  1. 2 peaches, peeled, pitted, sliced 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons raspberries, washed, picked 1 tablespoon lemon juice 4 cups water cracked ice Mix all ingredients together, except the cracked ice.
  2. Boil for 5 minutes.
  3. Strain through flannel bag.
  4. Put cracked ice in a bowl.
  5. When the filtered juice has cooled off, mix with the ice.
  6. Serve in orangeade glasses.
