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.

Method

  1. Cream, scalded milk, and loaf sugar are essential accompaniments to coffee.
  2. Put about one teaspoonful of cream and two of milk into each cup — these amounts must vary with the size of the cup — then fill up with coffee.
  3. Let each person add sugar according to taste.
  4. The milk should be slowly heated, but not boiled, as this spoils the flavour.
