My Presto says to put 3 Qts of water in it for use while my AA sterilizers want 11/16" on the bottom. That's a hella difference.

11/16" is 1 1/2 Qts so it's exactly half. The Presto comes with a rack at the bottom to keep it off the bottom higher than the AA.

That was 22 years ago that I read that. I may be mistaken, but I've used it enough that I'm pretty sure that it's the correct amount.

My 23 qt presto takes 3 quarts for a 90 minute cycle, and there's a quart left over. That's enough for me to be comfortable about not running it dry, and if I happen to pass out on the couch from smoking too much weed waiting on the PC, it buys me a little extra time before it runs dry.

AA sterilizers need less water because they don't vent once you flip the valve.

You do realize those PCs have lines in the bottom to tell you how much water to use, right?

You are correct sir, plus the basket would be fighting the lid trying to keep afloat. Too much and you would be fighting it trying to put the lid on.

I had an overpressure plug blow once. It was loud, scary, and a mess, but it was fine. Cracked the jars.






This is what happens.  It doesn't explode, but your eardrums will think it has.  Jars crack from the sudden pressure differential between inside and outside the jar.

The weird thing on mine is that the toggle arm will stick straight up and exhaust steam out of the 4 little holes before it blows any plug. That's a lifesaver right there.

sounds like it would be scary.

I've never seen the actual damage a full on PC explosion can do. But I bet its a lot worse than that. I don't want to google pictures of it for fear of the NSA :tinfoil:
