PC Questions
    #10095613 - 04/02/09 04:29 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Ok so i recently got two free PC's from my grandma. She def hooked me up! But one only cooks at 8 and 15 psi, and the other has no directions. My first question is can i just put water in the PC, seal it up, then put my stove on medium and start timing it once steam sarts to realease? (For the one that has no directions)

My other question is the pf tek says 12 psi for 60 min but will 15 psi for about 40 min work? I dont know too much about how these things work and diddnt know if at that psi it will cook or hurt my cakes in any way.

Another question is can you stack jars in the PC?

Also can you strelize Karo/water LC Jars at 15 psi safely?

yup, exactly. And yes, you can stack the jars in the pressure cooker, no problem

I think most basic pressure cookers are usually at 15 psi. So the one with no directions is probably ~15 psi.  I would use the one that cooks at 8 and 15, just to be sure what psi your using.  PF Tek says 12 psi, but plenty of people use 15 psi cookers.  I know you can cook at 15 psi if you cook for a shorter amount of time, or you could do 8 psi if you cook for a longer amount of time. How much longer/shorter I don't know. 40 min. at 15 psi sounds good. 

And 15 psi works for liquid cultures as well.  The liquid doesn't take as long to heat through and sterilize as a jar of BRF/verm. so 20-25 minutes is all you need for LC's.

Hope this helps ya

whoa! wait a minute. don't start timing till your PC gets up to pressure. when it reaches pressure the weight will begin to rock gently.

sometimes theres regulators that lets steam out slowly(probably by the handle) and when it reaches full pressure the regulator stops and the pressure weight will jiggle.  I put the heat on High untill full pressure then drop heat to as low as it can go and still jiggle the weight(full pressure).
