  1. Coffee
  2. Water
  3. one tablespoon baking soda

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.

Method

  1. Allow one good tablespoon finely-ground coffee for each cup water, then an extra tablespoon for the pot.
  2. Place coffee in strainer of percolator.
  3. Put strainer in place.
  4. Put as much water, either cold or hot in pot as required.
  5. Allow to percolate through strainer fifteen to twenty minutes.
  6. Serve with cream or hot milk, and sugar as preferred.
  7. Coffee pot or percolator should be kept thoroughly clean after each making.
  8. Once a week, fill with cold water, add one tablespoon baking soda, let boil ten minutes, then rinse with fresh boiling water.
