Will plastic melt in a pressure cooker? (Don't have any aluminum foil)
    #6024160 - 09/03/06 04:05 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Does anybody know if its OK to use some kind of plastic wrap material, instead of using aluminum foil to cover the tops of my jars before going into the pressure cooker????

The reason I'm asking is that I currently don't have any aluminum foil handy, and cant get to the store anytime soon also.  Though I need to hurry and pressure cook my ten quart jars of (half filed) rye berries tonight, because my roommate comes back tomorrow and I definitely cannot be doing this project while he is around since he is closed minded about all drugs. He is a very suspicious type of person, and would obviously want to know what I'm doing with all these half filled quart jars of grain and a pressure cooker. 
I highly doubt he would believe I was mearly "canning" some whole rye berries for storage!  Especially given the fact that the jars are all only half filled, which would make no sense at all to most people.  But other than that.....who doesnt just love to CAN wholesome rye berries??? Mmmmmm mmmmmm! (kidding)

By the way, just in case some of you are wondering what the reason of my half filled jars....its so I can shake up the rye grain periodically, which speeds up the growth and spread of mycellium tremendously!  If you have not yet discovered this technique for yourself, you'd be foolish not to use it whenever growing on whole rye berries....unless you dont mind a much longer wait for complete colinization.

Anyways, I'd really appreciate some quick response to what I can use other than aluminum foil.....because it really is important that I cover the lids of my jars with something to prevent too much water from splashing into the jars via the loosly screwed lids, and to protect the taped over holes.

Thanks and happy shrooming!  :smile:

most plastic wraps do not survive pressure cooking

So any suggestions as to what I could possibly use instead? I need to get this done right now.

These are just ideas and might not work but maybe you could try tar paper, cut up shower curtain (if it melts you may be able to peel it off anyway), vis-queen (SP), plastic grocery bags (may have to peel), plastic circles cut from cottage cheese container, yogurt, etc, cut up milk carton.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster! :wink: Just get some foil and do it right guys. You could use Tyvek and rubberbands also.

YES ...you can use plastic wrap.  I used stretch-tite from Costco. I made a Veal Breast and stuffed it with Stove-top stuffing mix and wrapped with plastic wrap to hold in the stuffing.  Pressure cooked in a Cuisinart electric for one hour at high.  NO PROBLEMS.  I know this answer will not help the original poster, but may answer the question for others who find the post.

Nice first post, bumping an 8 year old thread, I can tell we're going to get along great.  Why don't you make a new account and start over so I don't want to kill you every day?

And this is 8 years too late, but fuck you OP for growing while living with someone who doesn't want you to be growing.

This thread has been closed.

Reason: Look at this shit.  Look at it.
