Pressure cooker questions....
    #23513824 - 08/05/16 06:38 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Okay, so I prepared my own substrate today with the verm, brf and water recipe. Now my only issue is this pressure cooker that I have.. I want to make sure this is done properly, but I don't know how to use the controls on this thing and the owners manual is MIA. I'm hoping someone on here is familiar with this type of cooker and can point me in the right direction for proper sterilization. So far I haven't been able to produce any steam. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

would be great if you gave us some info about the pressure cooker you have or a picture of something identifying on it. otherwise asking a fortune teller may be more appropriate

I was afraid with mine as well.

If you've got a standard pressure cooker like this one:



Then all you need to do is fill it slightly (depends on capacity, but ~2" was good in mine) and put the "pressure regulator" loosely on the top.

Then seal it up with your goods and turn on the heat. The "pressurized" valve should stick out once pressure is building up, which tells you that it's under pressure (don't open).

That's the method I'm attempting to use. There's just an inch of water on the bottom of the cooker ...

Ehh, yeah. I was able to fit 8 in there though. So apparently nobody knows how to use this thing. Looks like I'll be getting another one anyhow. One that can hold more and one that isn't electric.

Buy a presto or a mirro. Presto would be better if you can afford it, the 16quart one will hold 7 jars and is pretty damn cheap if you ask me. 23 quart will hold 2-3 more jars depending on what type they are. I'm talking about quart jars btw, you can fit a shitload of PF jars in there.

If you are going ahead and buying a PC, there's nothing stopping you from going straight to grains man. IMO the PF tek is for the people who either can't afford or don't want a PC. You can spawn your grains to small trays and fill a monotub with them, basically reducing your chances of failure to the same you would have with cakes. The yields are also much better and it is way easier to get and hold proper conditions than cakes. I'm sure some cake lovers will disagree with me, so this is just :2cents:

BTW, I'm sure there was a thread a week or two ago about an electric PC being used for PF jars. The OP said it works good but you have to keep in mind that most of those PCs only go to about 11psi.

I was just checking the prices on the presto 16qt cooker.. only 75 dollars and a short distance away from me. Looks like I'll be grabbing one on my way home from work today. Thanks for the tip Supalemonhaze.

:thumbup:

Presto's kick ass. I own a 23quart one myself and it's one of the most useful things I have ever owned for mycology. I do still wish that I was a rich asshole so I can buy one of those 41 quart electric AA's but I guess that dreaming of them will have to suffice :rofl:

My experience with the electric PC (Power Cooker XL) has been bad for grains.  Of the three times I used it, all jars had bacteria.  Picked up a Presto and now I'm contam free.  There was a few articles about that model and it's canning abilities with grains, meats, greens.

In case you're still interested in using it, press the Canning/Preserving button, then the Time Adjustment (it goes up 10 minutes every time you press it).  The max is 2 hrs.  And set the pressure valve to the Seal position.  It'll take about 10-15minutes for the timer to start.

I have the 23 quart presto too and it rules.  10 quart jars can be PC'd at a time, and it's just one big fucking pot.  When I was poor I actually used it to do my laundry one time too.
