Club Women Learn How To
Qauge Pressure Cookers
In order to learn how to check
the gauges on their pressure cook-
ers, six women representing five
clubs attended a training school
held by Miss Grace Cody, county
demonstration agent, in the Cham-
ber of Commerce Committee room
Monday morning, June 18.
A maximum thermometer was
bought by the County Home Dem-
onstration Council to check the
pressure gauges.
The women attending this meet-
ing learned that pressure cooker
gauges should be checked at least
OTKe a year, oflener would beTSet-
ter. Where gauges are lnacchrste
the cooker may How up or tfas
food spoil from under cooking or
over cooking or be dangerous to
eat due to botulism bacteria. To
check the gauge, shake down the
mercury each time after using the
thermometer as you would a fever
thermometer and look each time
before using to see if the mercury
is below the reading desired in
checking at 5, 10, and 15 pounds
pressure.
For checking prepare the pres-
sure cooker as for canning, plac-
ing 1 Vi to 2 inches of boiling water
in the cooker. Place the themome-
ter in an empty jar and set it in
the center of the cooker ort the
rack or suspend the thermometer
in the pressure cooker.
Close the cooker, place it on the
fire, exhaust the air by letting the
steam escape for seven minutes in
a steady stream so the dial will
read 1 Vi to 2 pounds pressure be-
fore closing the petcock. Close the
petcock'ana when the gauge reads
10 pounds or 240 degrees F. hold
at #this temperature for five min-
utes, remove at once from the heat.
Let the gauge return to 5 pounds
pressure; after which open the pet-
cock slowly. When the dial regis-
ters zero, open the cooker care-
fully. The thermometer reading
should be 240 degrees F. Repeat
this test for 15 pounds pressure,
which would be 250 degrees F. and
6 pounds which would be 228 de-
grees F.
Any gauge that is found to be
more man two potman on s non la
be replaced by a new gauge. Miss
Cody advised the club members
to buy a gauge that has the geuge
company’s name on it. Members
do not want to be continually buy-
ing pressure gauges, so it is cheap-
er to buy a good pressure gauge
and thus save money. A good pres-
sure gauge will cost fl.50 and up.
Those attending the meeting
were Mrs. George M. Hood, High-
land; Mrs. C. H. Baker, Green’s
Creek; Mrs. J. A. Brown, Lone
Oak; Mrs. W. I. Martin, Rocky
