Cook safely

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.

  1. INFUSE six teaspoonfuls of tea in four cupfuls of boiling water.
  2. Allow it to steep seven minutes, then strain it over half a cupful of sugar.
  3. When cool add half a cupful of lemon juice, two tablespoonfuls of orange juice, a few sprigs of fresh mint, and one pint of strawberry juice.
  4. Dilute to suit the taste, adding ice to make it very cold.
