  1. Be very careful that your greens be nicely picked and washed.
  2. Lay them in a clean pan, for fear of sand or dust, which is apt to hang round wooden vessels.
  3. Boil all your greens in copper sauce-pans by themselves, with a great quantity of water.
  4. Do not boil any meat with them, for that discolours them.
  5. Do not use iron pans, &c. for they are not proper; but let them be copper, brass, or silver.

ALWAYS be very careful that your greens be nicely picked and washed. You should lay them in a clean pan, for fear of sand or dust, which is apt to hang round wooden vessels. Boil all your greens in copper sauce-pans by themselves, with a great quantity of water. Boil no meat with them, for that discolours them. Use no iron pans, &c. for they are not proper; but let them be copper, brass, or silver.
