Pressure Cooker?
    #26740433 - 06/12/20 07:54 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Is this pressure cooker good enough to sterilize the grain spawn jars?

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6qt-multi-function-pressure-cooker-stainless-steel/6263602.p?skuId=6263602&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=608&ref=212&loc=DWA&ds_rl=1260402&gclid=Cj0KCQjwz4z3BRCgARIsAES_OVeIDomcKw07HLXZ0PUP7PWsT_qRqHeddEPMKs5T2R4S5jDBsaxgC04aAh4zEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I watched a video of a guy sterilize his spawns with an InstantPot and it only has a working PSI of 10-11. I assume this cooker would be the same. If not could you point me in the right direction of a affordable pressure cooker.

Maybe. But why bother? Its only 6 qts. Youd be lucky to fit 2 jars in it. For another $25-$30 or so you could get a 23qt Presto, and if money is tight, you could probably find a used one for around the same price as that instapot.

When dealing with pressure canners never cheep out. Spend the extra buck to get a good model that can maintain 15 psi Easley. You will not regret it.  With the insta pots you are maxing out the capacity for the units and are still under 15 psi, not to mention they tend to explode..

What about this one? https://shopcontinental.com/product/9-qt-pressure-cooker-aluminum/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwz4z3BRCgARIsAES_OVfVgi9ez0n3G_jbrHw4MVotAGwFwYNtrDkyooVsOsZQiLBqDtYDdHMaAk-4EALw_wcB

I don’t plan on doing more than 1 at a time then transferring to bulk substrate. How many jar do you think I could fit in this one?

This looks so sketchy, I looked at the user manual and all of the technical specifications are... blacked out. So, yea...

I would highly recommend you get a presto 23qt pressure cooker, you can still do one jar at a time but you will not be limited to one jar only.

Those things will be considered $50 wasted in no time. Just get the presto at the least.

Here this one is at a good price. Under 50. And will hold more then one jar at a time. If you arent gonna do quart jars of grain, or agar type work you can stick to PF cakes. The one I linked holds 7 maybe 9 if it is tall enough to lay 2 on their sides.

Is that site legit? The price on those has gone up lately and that seems too good to be true.

I just typed in pressure cookers and that came up. If you are cheap and shop around you can find really good deals. If the OP does a little research he should be good.

I did some jars in an instant pot a couple years back. Not sure what size it was, but I could squeeze 3 qt jars into it. I ran it extra long because if the lower psi- I think like 2 1/2 or 3 hrs. It worked perfectly fine. It just took forever to sterilize a handful of jars

This is yelling SCAM very loudly at me. Those prices are way too good to be true. A $50 23qt Presto? When every other retailer is sold out? No way.

Even the name screams scam. "Buying More Deal"? Sounds like a name that came from an awkward Google translation

I agree about current availability! I just ordered a 23qt presto on Amazon for 83ish shipped And claim wed to arrive and they are currently not in stock.

eBay has ranged 150-200+ right now. With the big box stores all, out of stock

Having had an AA921 and the Presto 23qt, I can say I like the Presto better. The AA is built like a tank, and would probably last several lifetimes, plus it just looks cool, but the Presto holds the same amount of jars, the jiggle weight is a lot quieter, and its like 1/3 of the price.

An instant pot is great for agar or LI, or even if you're just looking to prep a couple grain masters or something. Just set the timer and let it do it's thing(with virtually zero water loss). You can turn it on and go to bed or leave for the day. I definitely like having a large pressure canner as well as an instant pot
