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.
  • 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.

Method

  1. Peel 3 oranges very carefully ;
  2. remove every particle of white skin;
  3. divide them into their quarters;
  4. have some very thin wooden skewers, about 5 inches long;
  5. put a skewer in the point of each piece of orange, about half way through;
  6. lay the skewers on a sieve, with the pieces of orange hanging outside, all round the sieve;
  7. let them dry thus for about two hours;
  8. Put 1 lb.
  9. of lump sugar in a copper sugar-boiler, with 1 pint of water;
  10. when melted, put it over a brisk fire;

  12. Have a basin of cold water near the stove, and, when the sugar produces large air bubbles, skim off with the finger a sinall particle of the boiling sugar, and plunge your hand quickly into the cold water;
  13. if the sugar comes off the finger very easily, it will not, when eaten, stick to the teeth ;—it is necessary to repeat this trial several times, to seize the ieht point of boiling, as a few seconds beyond it would make the sugar yellow ;
  14. Have a basin of pounded or brown sugar handy, to stick the skewers in, to drain the orange;
  15. dip each piece of orange into the boiled sugar, and stick the end of the skewer in the sugar ir the basin, and let the piece of orange drain outside till it 1s cold;
