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.
- 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.

Hello, I'm Chef Wood. Ask me anything about this recipe, whenever you like. Press play, or say “next”, and I'll read you the steps one at a time.

- Mix one saltspoonful of salt into each pound of ground coffee.
- It brings out the taste and makes the coffee seem much stronger.
- You can’t taste the salt itself at all.
- Mix one teaspoonful of salt with each pound of sugar, when you are making jam or preserve of any kind.
- It deepens the flavor of the sugar, besides helping the jam to keep well.
- When preparing rhubarb for stewing, cut it up, sprinkle it thickly with salt, and let it stand for at least two hours.
- Then scald it in boiling water, and rinse it well.
- If prepared in this way, it loses all its horrid “‘teeth-on-edge”’ taste.
