STERILIZATION NECESSARY
Too many homemakers use the
waterbath method of canning for
vegetables that should be steriliz-
ed in the pressure cooker, says
Kent County Home Demonstration
Agent, Florence Y Smith. Your
canned vegetables may contain
these harmful bacteria unless steri-
lized under pressure.
The acids of tomatoes and fruits
protect these foods Just as added
sugar protects fruit. A pressure
cooker is essential to successfully
can peas, beans, and other non-acid
vegetables. Use the warterbath for
fruits and tomotoes only, Mrs.
Smith advises.
"Oven canning is dangerous" the
county home demonstration agent
points out. The dry heat of the
oven doesn't raise the temperature
in the jars high enough and the lids
seal onto the jars before the pro-
cessing time is up. This causes jars
to explode with damage to equip
ment and possible injury to the
homemaker"
