Homemaking Tips by Anna K. Williams Home Demonstration Agent Pressure Saucepans Many A Chris'mas shopping list will include a pressure saucepan. To help those shoppers, here are some suggestions on (buying pressure saucepans. The term. Underwriters’ Laboratories, has become more and more a par of the appliance — hunters vocabulary, and it is one of the first items to cheek when buying a pressure saucepan. However, some misunderstanding exists about the / meaning of this seal. The Underwriters' Laboratories approval stands for safety but it is not a guarantee that the pressure indicator is accurate, or that the pan cun be used to process canned foods, or that the metal will not pit and discolor. Safety means safety, not accuracy or convenience. Before buying a pressure saucepan, shoppers should see all available models and try as many different kinds as possible. Pressure saucepans should be judged in the same manner as ordinary saucepans. Study the handles, decide which pan is easiest to assemble and to use, and try to judge whether the metal will pit and stain. In addition, these features must be I found in the pressure saucepans: j a vent, pressure indicator, a safe-' ty release and some 'way to lock I the cover on tight. The chief difference in pressure cookers is found in indicator weights and no one indicator has all the good points and no bad ones. There are two general types of indicators. One indicates pressure by a certain sound, the other by the position of something that moves. The indicator which has a spring in it and any indicator that has a moving pointer twill become less accurate iwith use. The quality of the materials used in making these indicators determines how long they will be reliable. An indicator with a moving pointer or different weight is necessary if the pressure saucepan is to be used for canning, since most pressure canning is done at 10 pounds pressure rather than the usual la pounds used for cooking. If buying this type, find out if indicator weight can be checked for accuracy. On the other hand, the weight which jiggles or rocks to indicate pressure should stay as accurate as l it was when it left the factory. Faith is a living function involving our lives in God’s pur-1 pose.
