 do i really need a presure cooker?

i want to convert from using 1/2 pints to quart jars and rye. everywhere it says to get a pressure cooker for this method but i have a nice 16 quart steamer/stockpot that i sterilize in. it works really good and i kinda like the waiting process of sterilizing it that way (gives me time to get the spore syringe made). does anyone know how to sterilize rye in quart jars using a 16 quart steamer/stockpot? i also won some filter patch bags from myco supply in a contest, will i be able to sterilize those with my steamer? i really dont want to pay alot for a pressure cooker, if i already have something that will work. (even though it will take more time) i know that a pressure cooker will make things alot easier but im afraid that i dont really have the money. i also want to know if you can sterilize birdseed substrates with a steamer?

For Pete's sake.... get one. The money spent will be worth that in the trouble it will save you from the first time you use it.
I am some what sloppy, and with a preassure cooker I don't have to be so worried about it. You don't have to be NEARLY as clean about what you do BEFORE you sterilize you jars. With the preassure cooker even if you get some unwanteds in you substrate it won't matter because 15 psi at an hour or so will kill ANYTHING!!
I know I will get some shit over the above statement--there are certain factors that can effect this statement,(mass,density,etc...) but for GENERAL puposes, especially the one stated above it is an ENTIRELY true statement.
I have not had any contaminated jars since I started using a preassure cooker---not even one.

its alright. i just bought one. i have a question though. do i need to use the little tray thing with holes on it? if i dont use it then what do i use to ensure that the heat doesnt crack the glass of the jars? the problem is that i can only fit one quart jar with the tray thing, and i can fit three without it.

I've never had a little tray with mine, and I've never had a cracked jar either.

put a towel in the bottom to keep the jars from cracking if you take the "holy" thing out

I know folks who have had success using a towel on the bottom of the cooker, just to be safe. Although I have never met anyone who actually had a jar crack- anything is possible
