shitty PC

yesterday i bought a PC from walmart for about $25. it cant go past 10 psi and it has a thing on the top that releases pressure when it excedes 10 psi. its been on a burner for almost an hour now and its been hissing and letting steam out the whole time and has yet to reach full pressure. im starting to think either that its defective or that i just need to invest more money in a PC. does anyone have a suggestion?

also, i suggest you do not attempt to exceed the maximum listed pressure. if it's only made to go up to 10 psi, don't you think attempting to get it any higher would be putting stress on the cooker it was not made to handle?
i have the distinct feeling he's going to improvise a 15psi rocker...

no, i wasnt going to do anything like that. i wasnt really thinking about it too much when i bought it and i didnt think 5 psi would matter. but im pretty sure its defective because i know its supposed to be air tight but steam has been leaking out of it the whole time. im just going to return it and buy a better one on ebay.

i know its supposed to release steam, but not like a tea kettle. it wasnt letting steam out of the place that its supposed to release steam from. but i think i fixed it. i tightened some thing on the inside of the lid that had a rubber rim that wasnt flush with what it was against. but would 10psi be enough for WBS? i probably should have asked that before i bought the thing, but i was excited to get started.

10psi is perfectly fine, you just have to do it longer. 90min@15psi is equal to 120@10psi, i think =/

are you suggesting that the same bacteria that is killed at 15psi will be killed at 10psi if you just leave it in longer? that cannot possibly be true, can it?

i believe so..
as i understand it, its X temperature over Y time, not just X temperature. the spore will eventually die from the decreased heat, it just takes longer for thermal destruction to happen (for heat to break down the shell of the endospore).

I ditched the mirro for the all american cause I didnt want to have to PC corn or WBS ro 90-120 mintues.. in the mirro .. where is takes 30-60 minutes in the all american, that I think is the only diff between the two.
