Ancient pressure cooker. Safe to clean and use?
    #27105756 - 12/24/20 12:32 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

My roommate's mom said I could use her old PC.
Wondering if this is ok to use if I clean the everloving shit out of it?

Should be fine. I'd make sure you get the seal real good on both sides. Do an empty test run and see.

Cool looking. nice score mom.

Can we see an after cleaning shot?

I would be very cautious with that thing. Looks like the bottom is rusted on the inside. Rust can absolutely effect structural integrity.

Thanks for the heads up.
I imagine thats when dealing with more severe rusting than this, but I'll look into that as well as just exercising extra caution in general when using it.

It really is just some superficial surface stuff from what I can tell, but we won't know until I get to scrubbing.

Disassemble it, clean it, polish it and then sell it to someone else.
Use the proceeds towards a Presto 23 quart.

I can't tell you if that unit it safe to operate but what I can tell you is some bored housewife will see that, fall in love with it and give you damn near close to what a P23 would run you.

The rack with the reddish rust on it might be steel.  When you get it somewhat scraped off, see if a magnet sticks to it.  If it does, it is steel.  Dissimilar metals (steel and aluminum, for example) should NOT be kept in contact with each other.  If the magnet does NOT stick to the PC vessel, then it is not steel.

The PC vessel is probably aluminum.  Aluminum gets that grayish-colored rust, aluminum oxide.
Use the steel rack while you are using the PC.  Just separate the steel rack  from the PC when you're done so the reddish rust doesn't build up on it again, or wrap it in aluminum foil first so
the two dissimilar metals aren't stored in contact with each other.    If the magnet doesn't stick
to either metal, then they are all aluminum, and you're good as is.

Fingers crossed it holds pressure and you get some good use from it ....

Even if it blows up that's gonna be one cool steampunk looking bomb.

Upload some pics once you scrub her up.  Be cool to see.

So, quick update.

I just laid out a towel to get started on this cleaning project and I noticed 2 or 3 small pits in the bottom of the vessel.

The largest is about 1mm deep and 2mm in diameter.

Definitely a little worried now, but I'm not too familiar with engineering and I've never used a PC, so I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or not. Pics won't be much help here with my camera.

Should still be fine.  Those little chinks happen and I assure you there's plenty of metal left :thumbup:  those old units worked quite well, honestly.  Small AF but they do the trick.  Be nice if that gauge works.  I almost recently bought a similar one at a thrift shop for my shelf of old kitchen stuff...

Do the guages need to be calibrated somehow? Or is it more like if the needle moves at all then its probably accurate?
