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.

- Stew a pound of prunes until soft, in water to cover, with half a cupful of sugar.
- When the prunes are soft, remove the stones and simmer for ten minutes longer.
- Make a biscuit crust, adding a little more shortening, and bake in two cakes with butter between.
- Split, spread with butter, fill with the prunes, cover the top with prunes, and serve hot with whipped cream.
