I confess I bought a vintage 4qt presto at goodwill today for $2.59. it needs new gaskets and a new pressure regulator. They are only $50 new, and the parts+shipping come too $48.

Realistically, the only thing it could be useful for cult wise is 4 quarter pint jars of spawn, But that could yield me about 36g dry which is a years supply :shrug::mushroom2: maybe I'll cook with it or make some jam. It's a convenient size. it won't run much longer than an hour(according to presto) before going dry which is it's other shortcoming. Though it does run at 15psi.

Decision, decisions. Id hate to see it meet it's demise in a landfill.



Maybe a waste of money. What do ya'll think?


They sell a 16qt. new one for about 90 at wallymart.

Wait, what do you mean by pressure regulator? Are we talking about the weight on top?

That all seems a bit high. I'm currently trying to rationalize just buying new gaskets for my 24 quart Prestos on Amazon, because I can get a two-pack for like $10-$15 at most. For just a jiggle weight and a gasket/overpressure plug set, it seems like you GOTTA be able to do better than that somewhere. Maybe you just need a gasket that meets those specs, rather than a gasket that's being marketed as compatible with that model. For the jigle weight, you really don't care if it's used or beat up or whatever. And considering that pressure cookers get fucked up and tossed faster than jiggle weights do, there's just gotta be a surplus somewhere. Shit, maybe even someone around here has an extra lying around.

By the same token, though, the gasket is a consumable part that does need to be replaced fairly regularly. So you're always gonna have to buy one anyway, unless you've just decided to go full-bore into disposable consumer culture.

Rasmodius, I don't actually think that making a gasket from silicone would be dangerous. Just incredibly aggravating. It'd probably just spring leaks that made it difficult-to-impossible to get everything up to pressure. Now, soldering the overpressure plug hole shut, that's where we'd get into dangerous territory...

That little guy looks to me like an awesome tool for dedicated pre-pour agar runs.

Confession. I don’t know how to quit.

Going into Cake Wars 3 and figured ok, just a couple of side grows from clones.

Then it’s “shit that Petri is sexy. Gotta put that to dirt”

“Ok ok, I can do 3 more tubs and THATS IT!!”

Thanks for the input guys! Thankfully I already have a PC Pansiyan, a 16qt at that. I'm a fan:mushroom2:

That's a good point B. Dedicated no pours could be a good use. Been meaning to try out hazy's Tek for glass petri no pours. Not sure I trust myself making a gasket, though that would be thee was to do it cheaply ras:hehehe::mushroom2:

Alright, I pulled the trigger and bought the replacement parts. Id look for longer and try to find them cheaper, but I'm just too tired from working long hours. Will be cool to see it hopefully run again. Will keep you guys updated!:mushroom2:

I was really excited to finally start spawning my pans, but now I stare at my manure bag and choose games instead. How do you push yourself to start cooking horse crap?

The same way you prepare for cooking cow shit: smoke a few joints, collect materials for kitchen damage control, don't use said materials, cook a lot of shit, soil the entire kitchen. Make coir in a bucket, throw that around too, drop the crap-covered thermometer on the ground, cover every surface in shit, smoke a few joints, look at the clock and order takeaway food.

It's really akin to woodworking in that aspect. Once you've accidentally started the crosscut saw in the living room, you might as well do the sanding in the kitchen and use the jigsaw on the carpet. Don't forget to take a few good bong rips before getting out the router and get those curly curls in the carpet too. It's a mess anyway and you have a vacume cleaner, so fuck it.

The important part is never to do anything of the above as long as your SO is in the house.

'Good prep is half the work' as we say in Dutch.

Also, make sure to really seal off any remaining manure. If it's dry, with tape, otherwise, with a piece of cloth taped over any opening. Really. Cleaning up an exploded kitchen is peanuts compared to undoing the damage caused by opening up a hidden gnat factory.

Speaking from experience? :lol: What I've got is a big ol bag of composted horse manure meant for soil improvement, dunno I'm not a gardener. The bag has some tiny ventilation holes at the top but I'll make sure to seal the hole I will make well.

My wife complains about the smell of PC-ing quarts of rye. To cook manure in the kitchen, I'd need her to be out of town.

Confession - I'm not sure how to return to the world of eating regular food after the meal I had last night. Expensive, but it was so good that I wanted to slap somebody's grandma with a baby!

Wagyu carpaccio, oysters Rockefeller, a 12oz bone in filet with 2 marrow bones, a lobster tail, and a panna Cotta to die for. Every dish was executed perfectly. Finished it all off with a glass of Whistle Pig Boss Hog XII. Possibly the finest whiskey I've ever tasted.

I feel better physically today than I have in months. Strong evidence that occasionally treating yo'self is good for you. Happy birthday to me... I got to buy my gf dinner (she absolutely plotzed when she saw the check).

I can cook like a mafacka, but sometimes it's easier for someone else to do it. Probably going to try making panna cotta tho, seems easy enough. I make a pretty nice custard, so why not?

One reason I went to no prep millet is to reduce the smells. And she still bitches about THAT

Mrs Rev and Rev Jr complained about the smells of cult too. Even wheat, which I think smells lovely. Best thing I did was get an induction hot plate and induction Presto. Between that and the 8qt Instant Pot, all agar and grain prep, pasteurizing, and sterilizing is done outside and everyone is happy.

I think that it is a little funny that dehydrating PE and SNAPE smells worse than pasteurizing poo to me, but I do both outside now, so life is good. Fortunately my property backs up to a cow pasture, so neighbors are none the wiser.
