Good/best pressure cooker?
    #5274462 - 02/07/06 06:17 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I've been cultivating for 2 months, my first grow ever was cakes, and now (as a matter of fact right now) I am PCing 24 1/2 pint jars of WBS, the thing is it takes FOREVER to PC all my jars, so I am going to buy a nice PC, I was wondering what you guys think is a good PC, I was thinking maybe an 30 quart All American, any opinions are greatly appreciated.

I have a 30 qt all american and i love it! I started with an 18 qt presto, and thought that was good...but my AA is the best investment ive made along the lines of this hobby of growing edible mushrooms :smile:

All American kicks ass. I have one that's been in the family for about 30 years. Still works.

I like to use the PCs without weights, but that's personal preference.

I use Mirro brand PC I think is the most bang for the buck, all americans are nice but a lot of $$$. Mirro can be found at Wal-Mart for 40$ it holds 8, 1/2 pints or 6 pints, or they can be found on the web

AA (as big as you can afford). AA 921 is IMHO minimum size.

Try to get one with the old school pressure relief valve.
(same as on all AA sterilizers)


AA's last for generations, if taken care of.

Pair of 40 Y/O AA 941's.
Good as the day they were NEW.
:grin:

Wronguy turned me on to the 22Q Mirro at the pressure-cooker outlet.
$87 shipped. Holds 36 Half Pint Jars, 20 Pint Jars, or 7 Quart Jars.
----->HERE<-----
For like $10 more you can get the Presto 23Q version with a pressure guage (highly recommended).
The AA-921 (the best) will run you around $155 shipped.

Yeah, I think I'll go with an AA, PC with my 6 quart presto takes forever!
Premedman thanks for the link, really good prices

Brand new AA's have a weight pressure regulator.
Cheaper to manufacture than the toggle valve.

With a toggle valve, you don't lose moisture  :grin:

My AA 941 sterilizer calls for 2 pints of water.
Almost 2 pints remain after a 4 hour PC run @ 18 psi.

My first PC was an AA 921, second was an AA 925X, third was an AA 941 sterilizer. You don't want to know about the 4th, 5th & 6th. :rolleyes:

I've used the same water for about 5 runs now. I never hear a damn peep out of that toggle valve! I can't thank Agar enough for this suggestion! :thumbup:

so, where do you get the toggle valve from? do you replace the regular valve with that one or do you have to do some modification to the PC

Toggle can be ordered on-line.
Thread is the same.
Screw out weight nipple & screw in toggle.

In the search box, type in the number "65".

Make sure you use a socket or a wrench that fits snug on the nut, otherwise you can strip it.
