autoclave question
    #19359711 - 01/02/14 05:14 PM (10 years, 28 days ago)

so Im just getting use to using my autoclave, tried doing rye berries a couple of times, and I think i may have burned them a lil...
when using im using my autoclave to cook something at 15 psi for 60 mins, where should i set my trigger to cut the heat off at?
as in, do I set my trigger to turn off above 15psi and turn on every time it get bck down to 15 psi, or do i set my trigger to turn off when it hits 15psi so it, turns back on somewhere below it?

Looks like you have a fancy pants pressure cooker.

We watch ours while they are on and adjust the burner as needed.

My guess is that you need to have an inch or two in the bottom of the cooker that you might not have.

Also you need to prep rye according to instructions provided on the site.  Soak, simmer, rinse, drain, and measure out into the containers.

Lastly don't let the pressure out of the pressure cooker when you are done just turn it off and let it cool on it's own until the pressure reaches 0 psi.  Just make sure you do open it and shake jars if you need to do so to keep them from sticking.  If you let the steam out when it is hot you will be letting moisture out from the jars.

Are you sterilizing grains or cakes?

following rr "lets grow dvd" he says that once the time has lapsed, turn off said sterilizer and open the valve... and following the manual  it says "at the end of the sterilization period, turn the on/off toggle switch to "off" and move the toggle on the control valve to the upright (vertical) position so that the steam is permitted to escape. When te toggle is in the upright position, the steam will escape at maximum. To avoid touching the hot toggle, you may use any object such as a pencil or hot pad, etc., to move the toggle from closed to open"

We are talking about grains right?

Do you have a wet towel and an inch or two of water at the bottom of your Pressure cooker?

Also what size cooker do you have?  Model?

this is a general question, in regards to where to set the trigger (thermoswitch), do I want my psi's to reach above my desired psi and then come down or should my thermoswitch turn off when it hits my desired psi

You want it to hold right at 15 psi.

Cakes 60 minute, grains 90 minutes.

Maybe your heater has some delay, happens with electric heaters
In which case you could try setting it to cutoff at 14psi and the pressure might climb up to 15 from the residual (heat)energy in the heating element

^ this was what im asking about... should i set it below 15, allow it to climb to 15 (where it will shut down) lower back to 14 and then climb to 15 again, so on and so forth, OR should i set the thermoswitch above 15, so it climbs above it, turns off and then gos down to 15

so does everyone on here, run their PC, once the time is up turn off PC, then wait till ur gauge hits 0 before opening the valve?

because if that in the general census, ill follow that rule of thumb, but both my manual and RR "lets grow..." dvd, say to open the valve right after ur time is up and u turn ur PC off

quote from manual
"at the end of the sterilization period, turn the on/off toggle switch to "off" and move the toggle on the control valve to the upright (vertical) position so that the steam is permitted to escape. When te toggle is in the upright position, the steam will escape at maximum. To avoid touching the hot toggle, you may use any object such as a pencil or hot pad, etc., to move the toggle from closed to open"

once your 90 min cycle is up just kill the heat and just open it the next day, you dont want steam escaping it by releasing the valve itself you will release all the pressure out of your jars and they could pop your filters and they can break as well
