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.
  • 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. Sweet potatoes Brown sugar Butter or butter substitute Parboil medium-sized sweet potatoes, and when a little soft, cut in halves, lengthwise, and drain thoroughly.
  2. Melt butter or butter substitute in casserole.
  3. Put in a layer of sweet potatoes and sprinkle them with brown sugar.
  4. Place another layer of potatoes over the first, dot with butter or butter substitute, and sprinkle with sugar and a little salt.
  5. If this does not fill the dish, put in a third layer of potatoes.
  6. Cover the casserole, and place in a moderate oven until tender.
  7. If they seem dry, pour over them a little boiling water in which a tablespoon of butter or butter substitute and a little sugar have been melted.
  8. There should be a little sirup in the bottom of the dish when the potatoes are served.
  9. Marshmallows may be laid on top and browned just before serving.
