"The canned salmon you buy is already cooked, ready for many im- mediate and delicious uses; but this 'pre-cooking' is a very important pro cess in canning salmon," stated Mr, Hill, "After the salmon has been vacuum-secaled by special closing machines, the cans are placed in iron trays and then moved on small trucks to the retorts for cooking. The retort is of heavy iron, cylindrical in form, about 10 feet in length and approximately 5 feet in diameter, with a heavy door at one end which can be closed tightly and bolted when the retort is filled with salmon. : "Each retort holds several thousand cans of salmon," continued Mr. Hill. "After the door is closed, live steam is admitted, and the salmon cooked for an hour and twenty minutes at a temperature of 240 degrees Fahrenheit, and under a steam pressure of approximately 10 pounds. This thoroughly cooks the flesh of the fish, softens all the bones, completely sterilizes the contents of the tin, and gives to canned salmon its particular delicacy of flavor."
