Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • 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.
  • 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. Cut cucumbers into thin julienne strip after peeling. First cut the cucumber in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon. Cut the halves into quarters and quarters into crosswise strips about two inches long. Cut these pieces into matchstick-size julienne.
  2. Next, in a frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of butter until bubbling. Add cucumbers and toss over moderately high heat for 2-3 minutes. Season to taste. Remove from pan, stack strips and cut crosswise into fine dice. Toss with 1/4 teaspoon each of vinegar, salt and sugar. Fold in 1 cup sour cream and a sprinkle of minced dill or watercress.
  3. Place the salmon fillets over 2 quarts simmering water mixed with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/3 cup of wine vinegar. Steam for 9-10 minutes. Remove salmon, cover and let cool for 20 minutes then chill. Discard poaching broth.
  4. Arrange fillets on a platter with watercress or crisp salad greens. Spoon the cucumber sauce over them and serve with baked tomatoes, oven-browned potatoes and a light rye bread.
