Could you please point me to a reference which says pressure canners are prohibited in Europe? I tried googling but haven't found anything.

You can buy bho extraction kits with the same pressure rating as a PC so not sure what regulation this is.

You can import one off Amazon or ebay easily. There's a big difference buying one for you and selling them to the public




Thanks for the info.

I will do some more research on this.

Hi. Not trying to bring you down but I'd suggest you slow down on investing heavily in stock like pressure cookers. There's a term in business that applies to "dead stock" that I think you might be building towards. A lot of people find a need or want and think I'm going to supply everything, invest heavily with no backup plan and then claim bankruptcy after things don't go as well as expected.

So let's say you do order your 100 pressure cookers including shipping at aprox $100 a pressure cooker. So you sell them at $150 to make a profit of 50% on your investment of $100. I can buy them on ebay for $140 so why spend $10 more to buy from you? People will usually buy from the cheapest trusted source, and ebay/Amazon will refund you. So now you have 100 pressure cookers that you bought and shipped and could only sell 20. Now you have 80 pressure cookers that you have to pay to store because you can't throw them away as you spent good money on them. Storage costs money unless you have an empty place to store them securely so each month you hold on to them costs you more money, and every month is a month closer to bankruptcy if you can't sell them.

Why not start with prints and syringes and then move into grow bags, sterilized grains, and pasteurized sub? I dislike being a negative Nancy but better to hear this than to invest and regret it after.

Prints have a low cost and storage and are in demand. How many prints could you store in the room one pressure cooker box would take up? I'd build up a client base and website and then expand my services and products as my customer base requests it. Instead of saying I know what my future customers want why not wait for the demand to be there from them? Start small and plan for future growth. Best luck




If it was possible to get them to the UK they would have to be at a landed price of $70-80 and I would be selling at $120-$160.  There is a huge market for them here and it would be easy to sell them and parts.  Im an importer already and have been for years.  This business will be a sideline to my already successful import business which I have lots of storage for.

They're not. They just have to be certified. The ones for sale in america are not certified to be sold retail in most other countries. You can import one for yourself but you'll be in a liability nightmare if you open a shop and start selling them.

They're essentially de facto banned due to import and tariff and certification laws.

Ebay and amazon just sneak them through customs basically. No one cares that you buy some american pressure cooker for yourself. They're just not allowed on store shelves. One could presumably get one a certification but you would need to deal with presto to become an official importer to your country. They're probably making you foot the bill for that because you are going to be wholesaling their product for profits.
