Three Safety Measures
In Pressure Cooking
One manufacturer of pressure
4 Cookers has spent considerable
money In consumer publications on
the theme of "Safety in Pressure
Cookers." It is not our purpose
here to determine whether such
advertising is good or bad. Intead,
by presenting certain fundamen
tals of this problem, we will try
to aid home economics editors in
making an intelligent approach to
the problem.
f o n . . . 11 1 .
'. uur ou years experience, in mis
industry have taught us that acci
dents occurring from the use of
pressure cookers have all fallen in
to one of three general classifica
tions: 1. A gradual increase in pres
sure 2. Opening the cooker before
pressure has been reduced to
tero
' 3. Allowing cooker to go dry
No serious accident has ever oc
curred or will occur from any of
these three causes if the cooker is
properly designed to prevent them.
It is highly important that houser
wives be informed on this subject
of "Triple Safety" and how they
may make certain that all three
types of accidents will be avoided.
The most obvious reason for ac
cidents is that the pressure inside
'the cooker gradually increases un
til an explosion results. As a safe
guard against this type accident,
a safety device of some sort is put
on every kind of pressure cooker
made. This safety device is usual
ly a weight-loaded, or a spring
loaded valve. In the early years
of the industry, the weight-loaded
valve was in general use. Around
1928 or 1929 it lost favor because
it was difficult to clean and to
adjust, ilowever, during and after
the war, as new makes of pressure
cookers appeared on the market,
new variations of this same device
were used, and were sold as new.
Since most valves, whether
weight or spring loaded, have a
relatively small opening, tt is
j conceivable that they get clog
ged with food that is cooked in
the cooker. Consequently, many
manufacturers have added a sec
ondary safety device in the form
of a blow-out plug as a protec
tion against acidents in case the
safety valve becomes clogged.
Blow-out plugs have been design
ed in two general ways: One is a
rubber plug that is inserted into
an opening in the cooker. When
too much pressure is built up in
side the cooker, the rubber plug
blows out, letting the pressure es-
cape. The other device is a plug
made of a soft metal with a low-
melting point. When the tempera
ture inside tne cooker gets to a
certain level, the plug automatic
ally blows out. The first of these
secondary devices is based on' the
principle ui iuu uiutii yicuuic,

and the second, on too much temperature.
Openinng Before Pressure Is Zero
This accident probably causes
more damage to the operator than
any other because the operator is
right there when the accident oc
curs. This type accident often
results because the operator thinks
the pressure is zero, or has forgot
ten that there is pressure inside
the cooker.. Many reports of ac
cidents show that the operator had
removed the weight loaded valve.
This should indicate that the pros
sure is at zero. However, if the
valve is clogged, or if there is no
pressure gauge on the cooker, the
cooker may be opened by mistake.
Such an action is similar to hold
ing a bomb and setting it off in
your hand.
Several manufacturers have in
stalled the cover of their cooker in
such a manner that it is impos
sible to take it off while pressure
is still in the cooker. One manu
facturer has a sealing device that
allows pressure to escape faster
than the operator can open the
Cooker. This escape is handled in
a safe, controlled manner.
Explosion within Cooker
An accident of this type will not
occur as often in the 'four quart,
everyday cooker as it will in the
larger, cannertype cooker. This
kind of accident occurs when the
cooker goes dry, allowing the tem
perature in the cooker to rise
above 240 or 250 degrees as achiev
ed with 10 and 15 pounds pressure
The temperature will usally attain
the height it reaches in an oven
As the temperature increases, the
pressure of the water inside the
glass jar or tin can continues to
increase. Finally it reaches a point
where it explodes.
inis someiimcs results in a
chain of explosions as the other
containers in the cooker explode
too. As the liquid in the can or
jar released by the explosion
touches the dry, hot walls of the
cooker, it is instantly converted
into steam. When you realize that
water expands 1600 times as it
is converted into steam, you can
realize the pressure that is built up

inside the qooker and what a tre
mendous explosion occurs.
It was a surprise to this office
to find that none of the cookers
tested by the Underwriters lab
oratory had been tested with (his
particular accident in mind. The
testers at the laboratory had not
even thought of this-kind of ac
cident. While this type accident isn't
necessarily as dangerous to the
operator, who is usually out of iho
room when it occurs, it docs cause
more damage to the house, the
stove, and to the surrounding
equipment than any other kind of
accident.
Home economics editors, and
other advisers would do well to
urge a more complete examination
of any pressure cooker, as well as
statements of the manufacturer re
garding its safely devices before
the cooker is purchased.

Recipe for Clean Clothes: 1 load !
soiled clothes, lukewarm water for
soaking, hot water (soft or soften
ed), 1 to 2 cups soap, 1 hot rinse,
1 lukewarm rinse, 1 Cold rinse,
starch (if desired). , Soak clothes
15 mintcs in lukewarm water with.
or without soap depending on how!
soiled they are. Fill washing ma
chine or tubs of hot, soft water,
add enough soap for two-inch
standing suds. If you have no ma
chine, use n plunger to agitate
the clothes, then boil five to 15
minutes.
Wring clothes from soaking wa
ter and put in washing machine
(or tub if no machine is avail
able) and wash five to 15 minutes.
Rinse in hot. soapy water, then in
lukewarm water and finally in
cool water, using plenty of water.
Omit Ironing If you Wish: Turk
ish towels are Vnorc absorbent if
not ironed. Most nylon garments
dry with a very satisfactory finish
and do not require ironing. Dty
seersucker pnrmcnts on hangers,
smoothing end shaping while wet,
then only seams need be pressed.
Stretch curtains, if possible, antl
press hems only. Some busy home
makers press only the hems of
sheets to save time and ironing
effort.
Moisture and What it Means to
Ironing: The more brittle the fi
ber, the more moisture it requires.
Thus linens and cottons require
considerable moisture while other
fibers need less.
Remember, moisture must pene
trate the fabric evenly or finish
will be blotchy rough or smooth,
shiny and dull. Just enottgh mois
ture must be used to make the
fiber pliable if fiber is too wet it
slows down ironing. Some authori
ties recommend thaf such fabrics
as silks and rayons be ironed when
partially dry, rather than dried
completely and then dampened. If
moisture is distributed evenly,
however, thesp fabrics seem to fi
nish satisfactorily when dried and
dampened. Many of the lighter
weight spun rayons needn't be
dampened at all, as the dry fabric
irons very satisfactorily. .
Ironing may be detrimental to

Three C's for Salads: The ingre
dients for a fresh fruit or vege
table salad should be clean, crisp,
and cold. Salads should be served
with dressings that are not too
tart, too salty, nor too sweet.
To Improve a Ring Mold: To im
provise a salad ring mold to be
used in an emergency, grease the
outside of a jelly glass and place
it in the center of any deep baking
dish.
When cutting material in which
it is difficult to distinguish right
from wrong side, mark the wrong
side of each piece as it is cut with
a piece of chalk. This saves much
mental debate when it comes time
for each piece to be sewed.
Hard, dry marshmallows will be
come soft and pliable if placed,
uncovered, in the breadbox with
the bread for a few days.
To prevent sticky knives or scis
sors when cutting marshmallows or
fruit, rub the blades with butter;
or dip in hot water at frequent
intervals.

Records of the 100-Bushel Corn

corn production is not confined to
any particular area, Dr. Collins
said. Farmers in virtually every
county in the State were able to
qualify for membership in the club
last year by following approved
practices, he asserted.
Such widely scattered counties
as Currituck, Transylvanin, Union,
Forsyth and Pitt were among the
leaders in 100-Bushel Corn Club
membership last year, Dr. Collins
stated. He said Wake County led
the State with 66 farmers who

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -
"China may soon start Imigration
to Brazil," says Dr. Quo Tai Chi,
new Chinese Ambassador to Bratil.
"China is ready to send immigrants
as soon as an agreement is reach
ed by both governments. We have
farmers who wish to come. Chinese
immigration would be very helpful
to develop this nation. The Chinese
are peaceful and hard working.
They get along easily and their
productivity stands high."
The Chinese ambassador says
the Chinese government will open
a bank here patterned on those
which already exist in New York
and London.
