Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
- 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.

- Here's the recipe for Nasi Kuning. Ignore the reference to Crisp Beef. It's not necessary and is a lot of trouble to fix. Otherwise, the recipe is easy and good.
- Heat the oil in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the rice and stir until it begins to brown, now add the cloves, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric and pepper; stir for a minute or so. Pour in the broth, add the salam or bay leaf. Bring to a rapid boil then cover and reduce the heat to a very low simmer. Simmer for about 40 minutes.
