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. Boil 2 large sweet potatoes until soft, while hot mash them and add a lump of butter.
  2. Work into this, finely sifted cornmeal until tolerably stiff;
  3. then add enough water to make a soft dough.
  4. Let this rise 3 hours or longer, and bake in a loaf or pones.
