Used on the Joe and Rosela Jewison farm north of Janesville, Janesville Township, when they were dairy farmers during the 1950s-1970s. The family would prepare two gallons of milk for their daily consumption. A rugged, heavy-duty thermostat controls the temperature, keeping it between 155° and 159° F. The thermostat automatically shuts off the heat when pasteurization is complete and then turns on a buzzer to let you know the milk is ready for cooling.Cataloged By
