he needs to learn to read and add something worth adding. i mentioned i knew why it warped, and he insisted on giving posting bloody instructions. I tried being nice about it... Are you ready to move on with me now? That'd be really great if you are.

I'd use it as long as it didn't rock or tip over.
What else can I say, your question has been answered.

As for the picture, I just checked out the bottom for the first time. No visible cracks, just some tiny scraps from whatver it sat on recently.

The warping is really minor right now, enough to fuck with the bottom's ability to heat evenly and teeter slightly from the middle as it acts a sprt of fulcrum.

You're not serious are you? I really can't tell if this is serious due to a lack of observation, or just an attempt to stoke the fire. I've been here for 6 years. Man, mushcult seems like it needs some cleaning up from what seems to be kids scrambling for a trusted cult tag.

Set it upside down, put a 2 x 4 on it and bang it flat with a mallet. I had to do this to mine after I let a friend borrow it. I've had it for years since.

this may or may not be safe. bend a paper clip back and forth enough times and it will weaken and break. pressure cookers are dealing with tremendous pressures. i would not suggest doing this for your own safety even if it has worked in the past.
i would take some time to save up a little cash and buy a quality all american pressure caner http://www.allamericancanner.com/allamericanpressurecanner.htm its cast aluminum not pressed sheet metal like a lot of the cheaper ones like presto

You set the 2x4 on the bottom of the PC. Whack the 2x4 with a mallet. Hammer won't do it.
The guy above me is right, it's not the safest thing in the world, and just cause I got away with it doesn't mean you will, but it's worked for me a few times. Get a new PC ASAP though.

Yeah was gonna say. I asked prisoner about it before this thread the other day and he mentioned the same thing. He was kind of like, "yeah you can still use it... on an outdoor stove 50 feet away" 
And word, they have a new presto for about a hundred bucks at ace right now... I'd love to get one of those big 41 jar canners/autoclaves, but the larger ones that would make things worth it for me is just well out of my price range for me right now. I've got some things on the car to fix like tires and hoses and some other things as well as a laptop to replace at the moment.

honestly i am not the most experienced cultivator. I've only been at it for 3 or 4 years but i can honestly say i'm only trying to caution you for your own safety. i don't want anything bad to happen to you or your house that you could have prevented. please just weigh the risks/rewards and ask yourself what your safety is worth to you. only you can answer that question but i legitimately worry for you or anyone else who would cook with a weakened PC
good luck and god speed my friend

Know that if you get an AA941 you're gonna have to get an outdoor burner. A full one is way more weight than any at-home stove can handle.

a 921 21 is more than enough for most people and much much larger than any cheaper model presto or Walmart brand PC most people will run across. but yes you are correct the largest of the large may be an issue with weight and also with fitting under an over oven microwave if the user has one (so keep that in mind).

aha! A nice little trick. Higher psi sounded nice but I didn't want to mess with installing new parts in it after hearing about other peoples issues with it in that one thread..

http://www.water-rockets.com/article.pl?106,0 "A 2-liter plastic bottle will easily hold 100 psi without rupturing"
https://www.quora.com/Under-what-circumstance-would-a-pressure-cooker-explode-and-what-kind-of-damage-would-it-do "as long as the pressure builds up at a reasonable rate it will fail at the weakest point, and that's usually the valve or the seal."
I think it's -highly- unlikely that anything you've done to the pot is going to weaken it to the point where the pot explodes before the overpressure plug shoots out and before the seal fails.

Sorry for your loss. I would say that warped metal is not repairable. It might still be usable, but probably won't perform as well, if at all. Sounds like your PC of choice is either a POS, or you are not using it correctly, or both. Would hate for you to blow your face off one day. Pony up and get an AA. I lose less than a half an inch of water with mine for 90 minute cooks.

My 23 loses maybe an inch in 120m and that is at 18 pounds
12 cups in 3q or 3L get 10+ cups back out
