Pressure Method For Home Canners Warned
Michigan State University scientist Dr. Ralph Costilow urges home canners to use pressure cookers for nonacid foods. He notes botulism spores require airless nonacid conditions and says few cases arise from commercial canning since the 1920s. He adds the Detroit botulism link may be a rare one in a billion and insufficient cooking often triggers it.
