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.

As you scrape them, throw them into a bowl of cold water, in which is mixed a table-spoonful of vinegar.
When all are scraped, cut them either into half-inch lengths, or lengthwise into four pieces, which again cut into three-inch lengths;
throw them into boiling water, in which are half a tea-spoonful of salt and one-third of a tea-spoonful of sugar to one quart of water.
When done, drain, and mix them with white sauce, either drawn butter or a simple Bechamel.
