Hey everybody.
Got mad at wife and said fuck it so I splurged and bought a pressure cooker. Nothing fancy. Nothing great. But a pressure cooker.
8qt Philippe Richard PC. 35 bucks. I put a quart jar in it, and it looks like it'll hold two, but only about an inch to half inch of space between the tip of the jar and the lid. I don't have a clue how PCs work,never seen one, never used one. Never seen any teks on anything involving a PC, because I've never had one.
The best way to teach someone is straight from scratch. I don't have a clue where to go from here. Very happy to have gotten one.
So mates, could someone point me to a few VERY beginner teks to use this PC. I THINK I want to do grains, but I don't know.
Thanks!!

You went to Walmart right.. Read the manual, you should be able to find that in the box.

Okay so I got the lid on....lol.
It's a jiggle top I think. Don't see anywhere that says the PSI... Should be alright.
This thing is totally foreign. I haven't got a clue what it is or how it works. Guess I'm gonna watch some videos.

It should have 3 weights to put on the top 1 is 5 two is 10 3 weights is 15. You set it on the spout and turn on burner and when that weight is rocking its 15 psi

The "pressure regulator"?
Mine only has one. About an inch big. Screws onto some pin thing. Make it real tight?

Just watched a video. Doesn't seem terrible at all. Set to high until it starts shaking, then turn down to 7, cook for what 90 mins? Then lift the jiggle thing to release pressure.
How much water to I add for quart jars? Half way up em? Also there's no rack or anything, I'd assume I don't just set the jars on the bottom of the pot... Use jar lids and a wash cloth to elevate them like when steam sterilizing?
