First time cultivation

I'm looking to get into cultivating some Cubensis. I bought a kit a few years ago and tried and failed miserably but I wasn't sterile at all. I'm looking into getting all the gear I need. I will be using this method: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15223324
With that being said, I have everything planned out pretty good for supplies, but I want to use a pressure cooker just to be safe and sterile. That being said, I know nothing about pressure cookers, when looking at them I noticed they come in different sizes. 2L, 6L, etc. What would be an ideal size for this method? I think I will be making 6 - 10 cakes, so with the 1/2 pint jars, what size would fit 6 - 10 jars? If need be I'm sure I can just cook half then cook the second half if they don't fit, but that seems like it might have more chance of contaminating one half in the process.
I think I will be getting this kit aswell, does anyone have any experience with Mushbox and their equipment? is it worth it? http://www.mushbox.co/myco101-mushroomkit.html

I would get a 23qt presto. Its about 80$ on amazon, but it'll last you a long time! 
It's nice to have the extra room, especially if you decide to move onto bulk growing and need to PC quart jars.
You will be able to easily fit 6-10 half pints in there, just stack them up and place lid rings on the bottom of your PC to raise them up above the water level.
I would advise against getting that kit. Use that money to get your PC. Everything else you can find locally or off amazon/ebay.

Perfect thanks! I will have to go on amazon and bookmark everything I need, I figured going with that kit would be easiest cause it has everything I need anyways!

I mean that kit is like 100$. You can find everything you need to get started for about a third of the price on amazon. Not including the PC of course.

I was looking on Amazon and i think it would cost around the same for me to get the stuff seperate or in the kit. Maybe I'm just not looking properly on amazon but I'm also in Canada, Amazon.ca prices are a bit higher just cause our dollar is garbage haha. I'll look around and see what I can find though, I'm sure I can find almost everything at a local Walmart for cheap!
