H E M IS T A K E o f p u rchasing cheap
utensils is too o ften made. The
cheapest m eans o f im proving th e
o u tp u t of th e d airy is th e purchase of
good utensils Cheap u tensils are poor­
ly tinned, and tlie seam s and crevices
not thoroughly flushed w ith solder.
E v ery article th a t comes in contact
w ith m ilk or cream should be rinsed
w ith cold or lukew arm w ater before be­
ing washed. The w ashing is to bo done
by brushing th e su rface o f each article
w ith hot w ater co n tain in g w ashing pow­
der. Cloths are not as good as brushes
fo r cleaning tin w are or any utensil w ith
square corners, because th ey will not
reach into th e corners and crevices. A
good w ashing pow der for milk utensils
m ay be m ade by m ixing sal soda and
saleratu s (sodium b ic a rb o n a te ). I t is
not necessary th a t the w ashing com ­
pound form a suds. T here are a num ­
ber of compounds p u t on th e m ark et
b y d airy supply houses th a t are espe­
cially com pounded fo r w ashing dairy
utensils. Soap is likely to form a thin
film over th e su rface o f th e utensil, and
unless thoroughly rinsed o ff before
scalding, may d ry on. No u tensil should
be considered clean u n til it has been
brushed. No am ount of sloshing or
w hirling in th e wash w ater will th o r
oughly rem ove th e th in film of milk
th a t adheres to th e surface.
Scald Thoroughly.

In w ashing th e sep arato r, th e bowl
p a rts and tin w are m ay be p u t in th e
supply can, covered w ith cold or lu k e­
w arm w ater, and allowed to d rain off.
The p a rts m ay th en be ta k e n out,
w ashed in hot w ater, re tu rn e d to the
supply can, rinsed and th en scalded.
The sep arato r should be w ashed and
scalded a fte r each run. I f no hot w ater
is available, it should be w ashed w ith
cold w ater a fte r one run, and a fte r th e
second ru u thoroughly w ashed and
scalded.
The most thorough scalding is done
w ith live steam . Boiling w ater is s a t­
isfa c to ry if th e tem p eratu re can be
m ain tain ed long enough to accom plish
sterilizatio n . The chief b e n e fit derived
from pouring scalding w ater on th e
utensils is th a t the utensil is heated and
dries quickly. B acteria do n o t th riv e
in d ry surroundings, and care should
bo ta k e n to keep th e u ten sils d ry when
not in use. I f the utensil becomes dusty
before using, it should be rinsed w ith
pure w ater.
