There is no difference in the quality of ones grow in whether or not they use a 800 dollar sterilizer or a 80 dollar canner.
They do the same job.
Shut up you elitest.

Get over yourself, twat.

my pc got taken so i wont sterilize again until i get another one. when i sterilized 6 pf cakes i have mycelium starting to colonize after 5 days and had no contams from any of them. pc is the best way to go. not saying steaming doesn't work it just has to be nearly perfect.

You have good results with the 8 hour steam then?

This is a good REASON why you anyone should have a pressure cooker.
 Stopped into a goodwill today, there were three of them.
This one was 6.99.
Came with rack inside, and two weights.
Old as sin, but twice as thick as my 6 QT Presto I bought a few years ago for small roasts.
I'll be giving this away at cost to anyone who needs it, just pay shipping. Plus, I would buy this over a new one cuz' like I said, its twice as thick as my new 6qt, and taller.

bootster said: The one I'm going to sell on the cheap needs a new gasket (It's first in 24 years) and a gauge (I know it's outta' whack). The rest of the unit is built better than the imports. I never even gave it a second thought when I fired the 'ol girl up. For years I never knew it could handle 10 Qts. in it ( mostly because we did liquids with the lids on slightly loose).
I'm hoping that this unit will land in the hands of someone who is going to get in the hobby and stay in it for a long time. What's a couple of gaskets among friends. I'll probably try to sell it (or make a trade) right before Christmas. Keep looking in the marketplace.
It probably just needs the gauge calibrated rather than a whole new gauge. You can usually get this done at your local co-op extension. Most people who do canning do this to their cookers because *technically* you're supposed to do it every year, but this is more essential for food canning because processing times are much, much shorter. It's not expensive. If the county co-op won't do it, sometimes it is less of a hassle to just replace it. Anyway--here's zee link if you're interested: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/

Cool that you guys were able to find them cheap.  
It's kind of luck of the draw, but sometimes you can find one (or three) and get a good deal.
Yeah, maybe I'll see if I can find one at Goodwill and trade it for some agar supplies and azzie prints.

Thanks for the input BittrBuffalo. One problem. Before we knew any better, we'd put salt in the water (salt makes water boil at a lower temperature) and it would reduce the time. The problem is that the gauge on these is not a geared gauge so water gets up inside the gauge itself and over time it rusted. I think that they are like $25 or so (just a guess). I'm probably going to trade it for a print or something like that.
I'll get down to the nitty gritty when the time comes.
Sincerely, bootster.

my gauge has been fucked for a long time but my weight is what i watch, if it's for 15 psi just wait for it to start to jiggle and you have hit your mark

After you've done it enough, you don't really care about the gauge. The rocker weight doesn't change.

Actually, salt increases the boiling point of water, but only slightly. RR

My excuse RR was that I thought they were like 150$ So I steamed brf instead and got success... But after seeing new 9L PC's at 35$... You're right, there is no excuses...
Prints are now sometimes more expensive than PC's
So even though you can get success without a PC, no excuses... You don't have money for a PC? you won't have money for the rest either... My 2 cents

That's $35 which is completely unnecessary when someone is planning to do cakes. Those PCs are crap anyway. Chances are they could fit more jars in a pot they already have. Even if someone is planning to stick with the hobby and move on to grains eventually it'd still be better to save up for something decent.
