Take care of your shit and it will take care of you * 5
    #28004071 - 10/18/22 12:39 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

I went to sterilize my tools before a SAB session today since they have sat idle for a while collecting dust and it's a practice I like to do anyway. I pulled my PC off the shelf and realized I never got around to emptying it after its last use. So, I dumped out the moldy water, washed the trivet with hot soapy water, washed my 1/2 pint mason jars (used to hold my trivet out of the water) with hot soapy water and began to wash the inside of the PC with hot soapy water only to notice that the bottom of the PC felt more coarse than I remembered. I rinsed it out to inspect closer and noticed pretty severe pitting inside the PC below waterline.



Fortunately I noticed this before I pressurized it and began working in the kitchen while it was on the stove. However, this stupid little lazy mistake I made set me back $172. Let my laziness serve as a reminder for anyone else who likes to procrastinate. You're not done sterilizing grain/agar/LC/tools until the PC is dumped, rinsed, dried and properly stored

No condolences are needed for this loss. This one is 100% my own doing. I have a busy schedule to keep and I procrastinate, I'm just hoping to keep someone else from making the same mistake. Seriously though, how long does it take to dump out and rinse a PC before putting it back on the shelf?! :facepalm:

If you don't know this could happen you need to read up on pressure cookers.

I leave my PC on the stove until after I clean it.  That way it is in the way and the Mrs will "remind" me I need to take care of it. 

That is my guard against this. 

That is a sucky loss.

Sucks about the equipment investment, so there’s a lesson for any noobs reading this about maintenance and storage to prevent damage.

But the real lesson is about safety. Everyone should be inspecting their shit before use every time. Seals and gaskets wear out, relief valves can calcify over with hard water deposits, Gauges and thermometers can simply fail over time, and especially if handled roughly can become become uncalibrated.

Everyone thinks of PC’s as standard kitchen gear because little old ladies have been using them to can green beans for a hundred years and when used properly, accidents are pretty rare. But pressurized vessels ain’t no joke, and part of proper (safe) use is inspection.

Glad you caught it and weren’t hurt.

im sorry to derail this thread with such a stupid question im just running my PC now and its occurring to me that i should probably ask this:

does ANY amount of steam mean im at 15psi? i always wait for the weight to start rocking but maybe im wasting gas. i see now why they sell PCs with gauges

What does the manual say? My AA says to start the timer at the first jiggle, it also says the guage is unreliable and I should rely on the rocker to indicate pressure.

its a mirro, single control. says to heat until it begins to rock, which is what i do. im just a bit confused because long before it starts rocking steam will be steadily escaping from the valve. one would assume that since the weight is in place and steam is escaping the vessel has reached 15psi, but maybe im missing something

Nah, it's when it rocks that pressure has been achieved. It's not a perfect seal so steam will escape well before that.

I tape 2 quarters to the top of my rocker weight so it doesn't rock/jiggle at all, which means I have to rely on the gauge entirely. So far I haven't had any issues with running the PC...just maintaining it :crankey:

I'm sure they're not even close to perfect. I'd like to get a thermometer in there eventually. I just really hate listening to that thing rock and roll for 2 hours and adding an extra quart of water in the bottom...maybe I should just take the advice and do it 'properly' lol

amen

mirro doesnt sell anything heavier than a 15psi weight but im at pretty high altitude and im worried im not getting to 250...should i tape some weight on that thing? im nervous about it because A i dont have a gauge and B nowhere in the manual does it say at what point the overpressure plug will blow
