if only we could all be so blessed </3 one day man, one day...
so i thought of a little test to see if the IR gun was even close. i could measure the temperature of boiling water & compare it with the temperature of the outside of the pot.
i guess IR guns struggle to accurately read the surface temps of water because of steam obfuscating its sensor, but its consistent with the temperatures i read it would read the surface of boiling water at. the temp gun would fluctuate a degree or two when measuring the outside of the pot, but was consistently right around 212f.

here is the outside of my PC after a 15 minute vent & between 5-10 minutes of building pressure. i left it on high for about 15 more minutes & it maybe got 0.5f hotter. turned down the heat & it's sitting at 248-250f currently, about 45 minutes in.

not the most rigorous or intensive scientific test so i'm not gonna assert anything, but along side my plates & jars not contaminating after the PC cycle i'm personally comfortable enough to trust it.

Damn! I always try to bring the PC back up right after it gets emptied and put it on the counter so I know to wash it out. Sometimes it will sit overnight or just a little longer, but this is a good reminder to not let water sit in it too long I guess.
The only scare I've had was being close to running it dry once. I noticed the rocker started sounding like I had turned the stove off when I hadn't, and immediately took it off the burner. There was still just a little bit of water left when I took the jars out, but not much. Luckily I was nearby or that probably could have been bad.
I used to be scared of the PC when I first started out. Thought it was a bomb ready to blow up in the kitchen if I stopped looking at it or something...

When my wife was a little kid and her mother was tired of having her underfoot in the kitchen she used to put the pressure cooker on because it terrified her. Just one of the many things that have led to CPTSD.
I've had to do a lot of work explaining that it's safe if you know how to use it and do it right.

Smellyhobbit said: Ah fair enough. Rocker is definitely accurate anyway. I used it with 3 quarters for months, but now that I see how set and forget the rocker is I don’t know that I’ll be going back.
I’ve always run my all-aluminum, flat-bottomed, 23qt presto (the model designed for use with glass-topped electric stoves) with 3 quarters taped to the rocker, and always struggled to maintain a steady pressure. I’ve got an electric stove that cycles power on and off to the coils of the range. Works great for regular cooking, but has always meant that the PC needs babysitting and near constant tweaking of the temp setting to try and maintain 15-17 psi. It’d always fluctuate wildly. The coils would glow red and I’d be pushing near 19psi, I’d drop the temp by one half click on the dial, and when the coils cycled off, I’d end up at 13psi. Sucked to babysit for 2hrs, and I’d regularly go 2.5, just to account for occasional drops below 15psi, chalked it up to the cost of doing business on an electric stove that I can’t replace, figured one day I’d just have to spring for an electric hot plate and run it on the counter.
But then last night I started a cycle, vented for 15 minutes, took two quarters off and left only one quarter on the rocker, brought it up to 17psi and within 10 minutes of reaching pressure, I’d found a stove setting that kept it precisely at 17 with no fluctuations at all, despite the stove cycles.
It was awesome. I checked it every 15-20min anyway, just for confirmation. But it worked great. For my stove, 1 quarter on the rocker, not 3! And i still didn’t have to deal with all the bullshit noise (the reason I’d always ran with quarters in the first place) It was perfect.
