Need recommendation on PC for agar work
    #22431522 - 10/25/15 11:40 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I'd appreciate a recommendation on a small pressure cooker for sterilizing glass petri dishes and making agar. All the smaller pressure cookers I've found only go to 10 psi, but I'd really prefer a 15 psi one. All I use right now is the standard Presto PC outside on a heating element.

Something in the 3-5 quart range I think would work (not exact).

Thanks everyone

Keep an eye on ebay for a vintage one. There are usually quite a few smaller one with 3 position weights.

I found a small 8qt Philippe richard brand pressure cooker at walmart that goes to 12psi.

My only problem is that it is very small, but i only do 4 pint jars of spawn at a time or 8 pasty plates at a time.

I have yet to experience any boiled or caramelized agar even with extended times or quickly heating/cooling.
