pressure cooker question
    #22444381 - 10/28/15 11:15 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

So the seal on my pic is not sealing all the way causing a little bit of steam to leak out. I don't no where they sell new seals anywher close to me. Is it still fine to use? Maybe just cook for a little longer or something. And I'm using wbs if that's needed to know.

If it can hold pressure still and you don't run it dry, then I guess it's fine, but it's really not preferable.

Try covering the seal with a thin layer of petroleum jelly. That seems to help. Get a replacement seal ordered asap.
Or buy an all American.

Your pc is still working of its getting up to pressure. Use more water if it's leaking bad

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

ya you can still use it I just replaced the seal on mine in July and it already leaks again a little bit:shrug: it seems to help to put some lube on it I use cooking oil or this dry-slide lube shit I have(prob not recommended) and also ive found that sometimes after the lock pops up but before you put the weight on it you can move the lid slightly and it will seal it doesn't take much maybe 1/4" back and forth.your results may vary but like I said its fine to use on ebay seals are way cheap expect to buy them periodically if you plan on using your pc often

I had that issue, someone recommended that I stretch the seal out.  Maybe that works on some brands but mine snapped when I tried it.

That happened to me too with my AA 925, it was because when i sealed the lid was a little tilted to one side so it was letting escape steam on the other side.

I need to do this every 2-3 runs on my mirro.  I just get it wet, grab a small section with my hands, and apply some moderate tension, then rotate and repeat.  Also, I like to get my seal wet before placing the lid.  I think it may help the seal slip into position as it pressurizes.

I mean, if you break the seal, you would have needed a new one anyway I guess :smile:

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

I do dislike tightening the wingnuts sometimes because it gets jammed a little and doesn't want to even out across the whole circumference.  Still runs fine 99% of the time like that.  Vaseline does help with that too.  If you're growing mushrooms more than a year and you ain't got no AA, you're doing yourself a disservice.

What's so great about AA's?  Unless you upgrade it to a sterilizer, 15psi is 15psi.  I can get 10qts in my Mirro.

I mean I can appreciate the craftmanship and the 0 fucks given LETS JUST CLAMP A BUNCH OF METAL TOGETHER REAL GOOD philosophy, but not what it costs.

The fact your grandkids can use them to grow mushrooms after you're dead without replacing any parts because there's a metal-on-metal seal, and the fact that you can be pretty positive they won't explode and kill you.  Tighten the lid on one for the first time and you'll know you can feel safe around it.

And also because you can put it up to like 20 psi without any plugs blowing.  So, 15psi isn't 15psi when it's 20psi. :shrug:

Meh.  I feel plenty safe with jiggler phyics.  Point taken on the 20PSI and lasting thing.  There are other places I would rather spend my money though.  Struts and sticky tires.

My mirro made me paranoid.  Not about to trust some shit that came from a wal mart and is under pressure.

All American Pressure Cooker (company.)  Doesn't use a silicon seal, just clamps two well machined pieces of metal together to create a seal.

No shit that does sound a lot more efficient prolly at least no more seal and safer. Pc's are sketchy for real.

It will have little if any effect on efficiency, other than there's considerably more metal to heat up/cool down in an AA.

Safer?  Don't see it.  On my mirro for instance:

If the seal breaks, steam leaks out the seal, no problem.

The jiggler itself is a very solid preventative system for discharging pressure.  Cooking jars, it couldn't clog.  Cooking bags, it's remotely conceivable, but it's protected by a shroud to help stop clogging.  Say a piece of molten bag did get up to the steam vent, the metal vat is way stronger than a flimsy bag, which will easily be pushed out of the way by the pressure.

Lastly, it has a blow plug in case the inconceivable happens and the vent pipe clogs.

All these issues and solutions apply to the AA (afaik,) except being stronger it would probably explode at a higher pressure.

The mirro's lid just screws on slightly if I recall.  Those wingnuts are what give me the peace of mind.  I worry about the lid flying off PCs more than anything else.
