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.
  • 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. Cook half a pound of Polenta as previously directed, spreading on a moistened dish or a marble slab to cool.
  2. Cut into slabs and lay these in a buttered fireproof dish, sprinkling generous helpings of grated Parmesan between the layers, and seasoning with salt and a little cayenne.
  3. Cover top layer grated cheese and a little butter, and bake in a hot oven until brown.
  4. Serve very hot.
