2610.0. "Vacuum Cookers" by AISG::KISKIEL (AISG/Enterprise Systems) Mon Sep 10 1990 10:02

Does any one know where I can beg, borrow, steal, rent, pay for?? a vacuum 
cooker?   It is the opposite of a pressure cooker.  My application is cooking
jam.  I understand the commercial producers use vacuum cookers to condense
and thicken the jam at 130 degrees instead of about 220 degrees.  The benefit
is preserving the flavor as prolonged high heats are flavor killers.

Thanks for any insight,

Mike

try the commercial/restaurant supply houses in the phone book for a major
city - like Boston, New York, L.A., or San Francisco.  Be prepared to spend
mucho dollars (just a guess, but if it cost less than $1,000.00, Williams-
Sonoma would probably carry it).
