What do you guys think about this thing? As I understand that is more an autoclave thing, right?

Do you think that thing from China is safe to use?

I was trying to buy something like that, but shipping was expensive.

Looks really good to me.

Although I am a bit skeptical to buy something so potentially dangerous from China that does not provide you any information about quality standards or even a manufacturer/brand name.

For Sweden I would I know that CDON.se have some for sale. Otherwise double check on pricerunner to see what prices are available for swedish customers. They are not big like the ones our American colleagues have, but they work. You have everything from  super small 4l to 10l They reach slightly under 15 psi actually, like 13-14. you can always pressure cook for a little bit more time to be sure.





Is it these ones that you were talking about? How do you know that they run on 13psi (just asking because some European models run only on 8.7). Do you maybe also happen to know whether an insert is included?

I've seen the Hawkins big boy 22 litre, is anyone using it? I can get it for like 200 euros, a presto would cost me more than 400 including shipping and customs

Those smaller pressure cookers work, but I found it very hard to work with such a small volume. Nutella jars was what worked best for me. They have PP lids, so they are autoclavable.



Why did no one tell me this? Is this true? A little polyfill off a pillow and some nutella jars and you can start bulk.
They must have a better profile than round jars when you put them next to each other in a small PC. A problem that I see is that they have maybe 0,5l max even the extra big ones with 825g in them (Just guessing Nutella density is higher than water).

I currently have like 5-6l PC that can fit 2 quart jars in it, which sucks but I just let it run all day and half the night and its not like I have any quotas to fill.

Several small ones instead of one big overpriced one, would that be an idea or really inefficient?

I still havent bought a single jar for this hobby. I just use jars that contain food from the supermarket. Nutella, pickle jars, olives jars, wte. It all works well.

Btw why do you PC for sucha  long time. MY PC is somewhere between 12 and 14 PSI and I let it run for 2.5 hours. Zero contams to this day. I can let my shoeboxes go into fourth-fifth flush and I still dont see a contam.

I'm using a 30L Novogas belarusian canning autoclave, don't know what countries in EU it's available in, but it still is in mine. Fits 12 900ml jars IIRC, has a pressure gauge, after unwinding the spring inside valve it keeps around 15PSI. This is super heavy duty ( and heavy too) as it is designed to work at 4 bars. The price is very good too, the equivalent of 115€, I doubt you'll get anything like it so cheaply. Downside is, forget about stuffing it with very big jars.



Works really well for grain jars, I'll try putting in a few bags in future to see if they can survive without melting.

Woah! 4bar that's nice... What pressure do u usually use?

As I understand at 2 bar or 30psi you can cut down the sterilization time quite a lot. At 30psi you can get away with 25min I think

I was about to recommend mine, an SQ Professional cooker, but after a quick search it seems they've been discontinued sadly. It's only around 10psi, I think (nothing was stated on the instructions about psi) but a good size and it was like £30 new.

This seems to be basically the same thing but 7 times the price...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08P7G886K/ref=sr_1_4?_encoding=UTF8&c=ts&dchild=1&keywords=Pressure%2BCookers&qid=1606476355&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A373020011&rnid=373013011&s=kitchen&sr=1-4&ts_id=3147951&th=1

For that price though it may be worth importing a Presto. They are probably easy enough to sell on for what you pay, if you ever decide to give up the hobby.

I got the same one, but a 18l version a few years ago. Barely used it, now starting again. The max pressure is 12psi, which translates to +20-30 minutes when you're sterilizing. My agar plates are good after 30min sterilisation. Many people in these forums from the UK use them with no problems.






Now if only I had an option to get a novogas autoclave when I was investing into a pressure cooker, I would've gone that way, but my 12psi pressure cooker fully satisfies my needs.
