For an inexpensive pressure cooker I highly recommend the Presto 23qt. It is the largest size PC you are going to be able to get below $100 and perfect for our needs, you can fit 10 quart jars inside it or 4, 5-6quart spawn bags.
They are also inexpensive enough that you can buy more than one and be able to sterilize the same amount at one time as a very large PC.
I own a Presto 23 and a 21qt All American PC that I converted with AA sterilizer parts.
The All American PCs/Sterilizers are *very* expensive but they are so worth the price. They are made from machined aluminum, all the parts are completely replaceable and they should last more than one lifetime. They also have high resale value. I really love mine. I think they are a great investment IF you can afford one, at any size.
For first PC though, I say go with Presto 23qt

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.
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.
Like I said if you do your homework. Lol

Order direct from Presto [Re: Zena] 1

I ordered a 23 quart by calling Presto Tuesday a week ago. The website showed them to be out of stock but Presto was happy to hook me up via the phone. Cost was $110 with no shipping or sales tax. Received the PC 8 days after ordering. I believe ordering directly from Presto is the best deal currently available on a new PC. 800-877-0441

Because of my 10.5 to 11.5 hour workday, I like the 16 or 17 quart Prestos. Prepping grain and PC'ing 7 jars at a time is all I have time for.

I have a similar schedule. Sometimes 12-14 hour days. Seems I can only prep grains on weekends. Other aspects of the hobby are manageable before or after work, but prepping grains and running a couple of PC cycles takes time.

Right before covid hit those pressure cookers were on sale for 40 bucks on Amazon. I think I bought both of mine for less than 80 bucks awhile ago. Supply and demand is something for sure.

Damn!! Nice score! I would have bought 2 more myself haha.
I just got a sick hot plate because where I live now has a glass stovetop I can't use. I hooked it up to a timer so once it gets up to pressure I can set it to shut off automatically when the cycle is done. I have an AA 921 converted to sterilizer and a Presto 23. If I had two more Prestos I'd grab another hot plate and using spawn bags I could almost 100 quarts of grain in 6 hours
