Cooking: Pressure Cook, and Canning: High Pressure, are two distinct settings. IDK which one to use.

PF-TEK Pots:

How do I find a good pot do steam-sterilize jars? Can someone link me to an exact make and model pot for steam sterilization that WORKS RELIABLY ? thanks

Any pot with a lid is good enough to steam sanitize.  You cannot sterilize with steam.  So, any pot is good enough to steam cakes.

You want a pressure canner, not a pressure cooker, if you’re going to go that route.  Something designed to pressure can jars of food in, not just a pressure cooker.  All of the TEKs on here are based off of 15 PSI, which you need a canner to get to.

You’re asking the same questions over and over, I feel like you’re not reading the responses you’re getting.

Pressure cookers will get to 15 psi, the only difference between a cooker and a canner is size
The reason a canner is needed is simply due to size and water , a pressure cooker doesn't hold enough water long enough to trust canning with , I believe the name switch starts at a 16 qt vessel

I haven't ever come across a 15 psi cooker, but I trust they exist

Water can touch the jars don't worry about it, you're doing pf jars fam. With just a lot we have the water halfway up the jats so don't sweat it just don't sink the fucking things

I have a shoebox which i labeled Ochra, spawned the 20th of January, and im pretty sure i didnt mislabel it. The only mixup could be with an x7x+ culture, but I streaked two germplates from the same print and took one transfer from each germplate. The plates labeled ochra are looking amlmost identical and I can easily differentiate them from the x7x+ plate. Both got sent to bulk and one of the shoeboxes shows the classic ochra overlay while the tub im suspecting not to be ochra had little overlay, clusters and is looking very cube-like. The fruits are kinda small (~4-5 cm as of now). So QQ, are these looking more cube than ochra to you? and are there any visual cues to differentiate between the species? PS: the shoebox below sat one night without its lid and dried out a bit because im a dummy

In my opinion, those look like cubes. My Ochra pinset looked like so:

Ochra tub

Very different than what you got going on

No they dont. People use 4 oz jars as well.
