Automatic in-bottle Pasteuriser / Preserving Cooker

27 litres capacity, with adjustable thermostat and timer, 1800 Watt, only £148

an automatic cooker that can be used for pasteurisation of juice in bottles, about 13 x 0.75 litre bottles in one batch, or preservation of fruit and vegetables in jars.

Method:-
Rinse and fill glass bottles with juice and twist on the screw caps, leaving them slightly loose. Place the bottles (or jars) inside the cooker, standing on the grid that covers the bottom, which prevents direct contact with the heater.
Fill the tank with water to 2.5 cm or less below the top of the bottles. Put the lid back on the cooker.
Set the dial on the thermostat to 75 °C and allow the water to heat up to that temperature. Then set the timer for the required length of time for pasteurisation, about 25 minutes. At the end of the time, allow the bottles to cool down and screw the caps down tightly.

Or, for pasteurising juice before bottling: a 230 Volt, 2500 Watt stainless steel heating element, with automatic thermostat, that can be inserted in the top of a carbuoy or small stainless steel tank: £170

After the juice has cooled down it can be bottled with the Enolmatic. If the bottles are well sterilised, the vacuum system of the Enolmatic should remove any wild yeasts, which are always in the air at autumn time, from the bottles.
