Pressure cooker..
    #22492799 - 11/07/15 08:12 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

What do y'all think of this pressure cooker: Presto-23


Seems to be somewhat cheap compared to the ones that are in the $200+ range.  I'm a believer in you get what you pay for and at $80 seems rather cheap, but it holds 7 quarts.

Opinions???

That's probably what most of the people on here have.  The hard core folks tend to have all american pressure cookers which acheive a seal by claming metal together instead of using a silicon gasket.

Nobody has said anything about that presto that made me think it was better than the 22qt mirro (65$).  I can fit 10 quart jars in it if I use one PP5 container, otherwise 9 glass quarts.  My mirro has no guage, but I don't care.  The jiggler doesn't lie because physics.

Check on ebay though, some dude posted Pesto 23qts for $50 shipped off ebay.


--------------------


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?

No, this does not look right...

thats what I have! works great!

for a small time grower its perfect, Im not a drug dealer so I don't need much else, its a great pressure cooker, sure the seal may give way in a few years, but if its not a "business" investment, it should definitely suit your needs:mushroom2:

Nothing wrong with the Presto's.  If you do pick one up try and find a replacement gasket to keep for a rainy day, that way if they go out of business or change model designs you wont be left out in the cold if yours rips or cracks.

Was considering getting another Mirro since the gaskets are like, at least 10$, so for $50 more I'd have my insurance policy and an extra PC.

Yea it is a great pressure cooker.  I always tell people don't get some tiny pressure cooker that can only fit a few jars, this thing fits 10 so it saves time

It actually holds 10 qvts if you lay the three on the top 

Great starter PC! Should be able to find one closer to 70$ on amazon thats what I paid.

My only beef is that it can melt spawn bags if you don't pack it special. Also the bottom might warp. 

Good advice about picking up an extra gasket too.


All around good  PC  to Start with! The size is perfecf

I dont understand how a pressure cooker/caner that does the exact same thing and holds the same quantity costs $200 more?  Am I missing something here?  Is it made of some exotic metal or does it have more gadgets? Enlighten me please.

Well the AA 941 can PC 19 quart jars and the 930 can PC 14 at once.  I am fine with doing 10 at a time but to be able to do 14+?  Hell yea why not.

just has metal to metal seal and thicker walls/lid.
less prone to warping.

prestos get the job done just fine though.  invest in an AA when u know this hobby is something ur gonna stick with.
