Intcn'Ht continuoH to grow
on drying foodH mid food
dehydrators. Many things
Hhould be considered as you
plan to buy a food dryer, A
proper balance of heat and air
movement is necessary to dry
fruits and vegetables success
fully. When a food debydrator is
used, the element maintains
the heat to draw moisture out
of the food and the fan
circulates the air to carry the
moisture away.
Dehydrators can be made at
home usinR plans developed
by Oregon State University.
Sometimes, money can be
saved by making your own.
However, if your time and
skills are limited, you may
prefer to buy a dehydrator.
It's wise to do some compar
ative shopping fist, adds

ric food dehydrators range in
spric rrortf about $50 to $250.
The least expensive ones
sometimes lack features that
help to produce good quality
dried food.
Ms. RaabsuggestR consider
ing the following features
when looking at dehydrators:
Capacity - Is the capacity
adequate for the amount of
food you plan to dry?
Construction - Is there
double-wall construction with
insulation to reduce heat loss?
Is the drier sturdy? Is the
heating element enclosed?
Can It be replace? Is the drier
easy to load and unload? Cap
It be moved easily? Will it fit
your storage space?
Temperature control - Is
there a thermostat to adjust
the temperature?
Air circulation -- Is there a
fan or blower to distribute war
air evenly?
Trays - Are the trays
sturdy? Do they slide easily?
Will they be easy to clean?

ing foods at home, contact the

BUYING AM) I 'SING A
PRESSURE CANNER
Proper canning procedures
arc essential for low acid
foods.
Meat, fish, poultry and all
vegetables except tomatoes
must be processed in a
pressure canner. It takes
temperatures higher than
boiling to kill bacteria which
cause botulism. These bacter
ia are in the soil and may be on
the food. Unless they are
destroyed, they can grow in
the food and produce a deadly
poison.
There are two basic types of
pressure canners on the mar
ket, One has a dial gauge that
registers pressure. The other '
has a weighted guage which
jiggles when the desired
pressure is reached. Each
type of canner works well. It's
a matter of personal prefer
ence and availability as to
which one is used, according
to Carolyn Raab, OSU Extens
ion food specialist.
When using a pressure
canner, it's important to read
the directions, advises Ms.

Raab. If the canner has a dial
gauge, it should be tesledjl
least once a year for accur
acy. (Testing is available in
Pendleton.)
Auctions or garage sales
may not be the best places to
buy a pressure canner, adds
Ms. Raab. Before purchasing
a used canner, be sure ft has
an instruction book. Examine
the rubber gasket. It should be
flexible; not brittle or crack
ed. Make sure it is a canner
for which replacement parts
are available.
A canner which does not
operate properly will not be
safe for home canning, she
warns. The canner must reach
the right pressure and hold the
pressure constant during the
processing time to assure a
safe canned product.
Before the canning season
starts, Ms. Raab recommends
putting water into the canner
and bringing it lo pressure in
the usual way to see that it is
working properly. Do this well
in advance of the canning
season to allow time for any
repairs.
Pressure canners come in
many sizes. The large canners
hold more jars. Some are tall

enough for two layers of pint
jars. The size chosen depends
on the amount of low acid
foods to be canned.
A pressure sauce pan can be
used for canning small quan
tities if it has a weighed gauge
or dial which allows control of
the amount of pressure. When
using a pressure sauce pan,
add 20 minutes to the proces
sing time for the canned food.
This compensates for the
faster heating and cooling, the
specialist explains.
A pressure canner can
double as a water bath canner
also, notes Ms. Raab. When
used this way, do not tighten
the lid or put on a weighted
gauge. The taller models are
appropriate for processing
quart jars since there is
enough head space to have
2-inches of water over the top
of the jars without fear of
water boiling over the top of
the kettle.
A pressure canner is a big
investment but essential for
safety of home canned, low
acid foods. IF proper care is
taken, however, this canner
can be a lifetime investment.

'An Evening with Thomas
Condon' coming to Heppner
"An Evening with Thomas
Condon," a University of
Oregon-based touring produc
tion that dramatizes the life of
Oregon's first geologist, will
be presented in Heppner on
Monday, Aug. 17.
The free performance is set
for 7:30 p.m. at St. Patrick's
Church Parish Hall. The
performance is jointly spon
sored by the Heppner-Ione
branch of AAUW and the
University of Oregon Museum
of Natural History.
Combining historical fact
and dramatic monologues,
"An Evening with Thomas
Condon" introduces the aud
ience to an Oregonian who was
considered a great humanist,
teacher and scientist in the
late 19th and early 20th
centuries.
Wes Hardin, a UO theater
student who appeared recent
ly in university productions of
"Anything Goes" and "Much
Ado About Nothing," will play
Condon. Robert Clark, UO
president emeritus, will serve
as narrator. The play was
written by Eugene playwright
Dorothy Velascb.
According to UO museum
director Alice Cames, East
ern Oregon was chosen as the
tour site because Condon was
so closely associated with the
area.
During the 1860s when
Condon lived in The Dalles, he
rekindled an interest in geo
logy he had had as a boy in
Ireland and as a young man in
New York. Condon almost
singlehandedly traced and
recorded the geology of large
areas of Central and Eastern
Oregon, and he was the first
person to map the state's
fossil history.
Widely respected for his
rock and fossil studies and his
ministry, Condon was one of
the founding professors of the
University of Oregon in 1876.
He was known for his concern
about his students, his dynam
ic teaching techniques and his
belief in evolution theories.
The chautauqua presenta
tion is made possible by a
grant from the Oregon Com
mittee for the Humanities and
matching support from the UO
natural history museum.
For more information about
the show, call Susan
Schubothe at 676-5282.
AIway observe the safety
rule when you play, re
minds the National Society
to Prevent Blindness. Wear
special eyewear for sports
activities. Eye protectors for
people not requiring cor
rective lenses are available at
sporting goods stores or
through many eye doctors
and opticians. If you require
corrective lenses, have your
prescription made up in
safety glasses.
