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.
  • 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.

Method

  1. For Pheasant Sauce: Cook the sugar, without stirring, in small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until caramelized (about 4 minutes.) Add gin and stock; boil until reduced by half.
  2. Add wine and return to a boil. Lower heat and swirl in 1/4 cup of butter, 1 or 2 pieces at a time, until smooth.
  3. Adjust seasonings to taste with salt and pepper.
