ADVICE
PASTEURIZING MILK
To pasteurize milk and cream
use a double boiler. Heat the milk
and cream to 82°C, and hold it at
that temperature for 30 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent burning.
A skin will form on the surface of
the milk; skim this off as it causes
lumpiness in fermented products.
After heating, cool the milk or
cream quickly in cold water and
refrigerate it immediately to 5°C
or below. Never mix warm milk or
cream with that already in storage
— cool it first. Take care not to
contaminate it with raw -milk uten-
sils, hands, or anything else.
You can use low direct heat to
pasteurize milk in a pan, but you
have to stir constantly; the double
boiler is better. To make larger
quantities of dairy products, small
electric pasteurizers are available.
Microwave ovens are not able to
pasteurize milk. Because of hot
spots and cold spots which occur in
all microwave ovens, and can't be
eliminated, a constant temperature
can't be maintained.
Complete instructions are
available in Agriculture Canada
Publication No. 1759 — "Making
Dairy Products at Home." This
publication also has directions for
making butter, cottage and ricotta
cheese, yogurt and ice cream.

AVIAN INFLUENZA
OUTBREAK IN U.S.
Officials in the United States are
still attempting to stabilize the
most recent outbreak of Avian in-
fluenza in that country.
The poultry disease, which
causes extensive mortality in bird
populations and is highly con-
tagious, surfaced initially in Penn-
sylvania, Maryland, New Jersey
and Virginia in 1983-84. At that
time the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture slaughtered 17 million
commercial poultry in an effort to
eradicate the disease.
Avian Flu again broke out early
in 1986 in Pennsylvania, with the
last outbreak on a commercial
poultry farm reported on March 1.
U.S.D.A. efforts to stabilize the
situation are being concentrated in
live poultry markets, primarily
those serving ethnic communities
in New York City, New Jersey,
and Connecticut. ❑
