AND 350*F FOR A PREDETERMINED TIME, DEPENDENT ON THE TEMPERATURE, TO BRING THE MILK UP TO A STERLIZING TEMPERATURE, ROTATING THE CONTAINER CONTINUOUSLY DURING THE PERIOD WHILE IT IS SUBJECTED TO SAID TEMPERATURE AND CAUSING AN AIR BUBBLE THEREIN TO STIR THE MILK AND WIPE THE CONTAINER SURFACE WHILE THE COATING PREVENTS AN EXTENSIVE FILM OF MILK FROM FORMING AND CLINGING TO SAID SURFACE AND BEING DETRIMENTALLY AFFECTED BY THE HEAT, AND THEREAFTER COOLING THE MILK RAPIDLY AND STORING IT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
