LADIES,
HAVE YOU HEARD?
By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist
Use Caution With
Slow-Cooker
Low Temperatures
If you are planning to buy
or already own a slow
cooker, pay extra attention
to which low setting you use.
Some manufacturers extend
the low-heat range of their
slow-cooker to add ver
satility.
But some slow-cookers
permit you to set the tem
perature below 145 degrees,
and if used improperly, may
allow bacteria capable of
causing food-borne illnesses
to grow and survive. Bac
teria grow in temperatures
ranging from 40 to 140
degrees and may survive in
temperatures above 140.
The rule of thumb for
preventing food-borne
illnesses in high-protein, low-

Inoculation for Alfalfa
acid foods is: Food should
not remain in the danger
zone - 60 to 120 degrees - for
more than two hours. Food
should not remain in the 40 to
140 degree range for longer
than four hours. The two and
four-hour periods include
preparation, room
temperature storage and
cooking time.
For safety, add seafood
and milk the last few
minutes of the cooking time.
From a safety standpoint,
dishes with an acidic tomato
base rank as less critical
than protein foods.
In a laboratory test, the
temperature at the edge of
one slow-ccoker reached 120
degrees in 20 minutes. But
one hour and 15 minutes
were required to reach 140
degrees in the center. In a

Spice and Herb
Prices Rising
Prices of pepper and other
spices and herbs are going
up because of speculation,
fuel costs, poor crops and
competition for growing
space. Some of the reasons
you are paying more for
spices and herbs.
The price of black pepper
has risen 50 percent during
the past year. Governments
in the producing countries
such as India and Indonesia
or speculators primarily
control the pepper market.
Add to this the increased cost
