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.

Careful tea brewing means real tea enjoyment.
Too much cannot be said about the necessity of avoiding the use of metal tea pots.
If the best result is to be obtained use china or earthenware pots.
Be sure that the freshly drawn water is boiling vigorously before it is poured over the tea so that the delicate flavor will be drawn out.
The amount of tea to be used depends largely upon the brand of tea and individual taste.
If you follow these simple tea making rules a better, more fragrant drink will result: 1.
Seald the pot, preferably an earthen- ware one, with boiling water.
Measure the tea (1 teaspoon to a pint of water with an extra one for the pot is the average amount used) and place in pot.
Pour in the correct amount of briskly boiling fresh water.
Cover and allow to brew 3 to 5 minutes, depending upon the “body” you wish the tea to have.
Strain into another heated pot if the tea is not to be served at once.
