In the center is the double walled vat or holder. On the right is a crate for jars. nient for out-door work, having fire-box and smoke-pipe all in one piece with the sterilizing vat. As with the homemade outfit, contain- ers are immersed in boiling water. 3. Water Seal Outfits.—These are desirable, as the period of sterilization is shorter than in the homemade outfit and less fuel is therefore required. The outfit consists of two con- tainers, one fitting within the other, and a cover which extends into the space between the outer and the inner container. The waterjacket makes it possible for the tem- perature in the. mner contamer to be raised several degrees above 212° F. 4. Steam Pres- sure Outfits.— Canning is very rapid wlien ster- ilization is done in steam main- tained at a pres- sure. There are several canners of this type. Each is pro- vided with pres- sure gauge and safety valve and they carry from 5 to 30 pounds of steam pressure. This type is suitable for home or community canning. 5. Aluminum Pressure Outfits.—These cook- ers are satisfactory for canning and for general cooking. The)' carry from 5 to 30 pounds of steam pressure. Each outfit is provided with a steam pressure gauge and safety valve. HIGH ALTITUDES At high altitudes the boiling point of water is below 212° F. At moderate eleva- tions satisfactory results may be obtained in the use of the hot-water bath by increasing the time of sterilization 10 per cent for every Fig. 6.
