Friends,
I have much experience PCing and growing. I am back into the hobby and bought a new PC, link below. I received it after 2 long weeks of shipping...reading the directions..it says that it 'whistles' at 1kg/CM squared.
So I'm guessing this canner does not reach 15psi? Does anyone have this model??? Are there any work arounds..
Please help! I have agar plates made up and ready to go...this is a major bummer

kg/cm² psi 1 = 14.2233 2 = 28.4467 3 = 42.67 4 = 56.8934
Just a different unit of measurement (a better one at that). It reaches 14.2 PSI
Damn that is unfortunately expensive ,$135 CAD for a 10L but I understand it's pretty hard to find prestos and AA's at this time

Bro,
Thank you for the fast response. And I paid 82 total for it thru Walmart.com
Will 14.2PSI work for me? Should I pc longer than 90min?
PS. and why are the Prestos so hard to find right now? I previously used the classic 10qt Presto but gave it away to a guy who didn't even complete the grow (SMH). Can't find it...
PPS. This model will only hold 4 qt jars...additional bummer. But I have used a smaller PC to cook 1 jar at a time...

I would up the time to at least 2 hours at 14.2 PSI just to be extra safe, but the drop in temperature from 15 PSI to 14 PSI is pretty minimal, possible 90 minutes would still be sufficient for 4 jars but better safe than sorry
It's definitely able to sterilize though, no doubt about that
I've heard that both AA and Presto have been selling out quickly and are backordered because way more people are trying to do home-canning with the pandemic and all.

Thanks a lot for the reassurance pal. I waited two weeks to get my PC and was really down. Faith restored!
