Hello, I was wondering what you guys think about this pressure cooker, I'm buying mine from wal-mart, and I'm pretty sure it's the same one, it's the same design. It is 10 psi.

The only complaint I would have is that it is too small.
But other then that sure it works.

do you think the fact that it doesn't have a temperature guauge will make it easier to mess up my jars?

I say boo, it only goes up to 10 PSI and its tiny. Buy one off ebay, get one a litter bigger and a little more durable..might be a few bucks more, maybe even the same price..if you plan on doing this for any amount of time, I'd make sure you get one way bigger and research into the better PCs so you dont end up stuck with a shotty PC, then buying another latter down the line as so many do.

save your money 
$180 and it will hold it's value, you'll never look back 

It's worth the wait 
the other one is not bad just SMALL and that can make a difference.

i totally agree on this. every pressure cooker i have come accross has gone to 15 psi. even my first one i bought at walmart and it's a mirro but it still hits 15 psi.
if you are going to be doing a lot of growing thene invest in one of these.

yeah, you're wasting your money. i just got a 22 quart PC off of ebay yesterday for 55bucks with shipping. Maybe less if i drop it down to first class. Anyways, heed the advice of everyone here. You will need 15psi. You will want larger capacity. Oh, off subject i know. But does anyone know if with a ball type psi indicator if its easier to screw up spawn bags? My smaller 12 quart mirro melted my spawn bag. I'm assuming because i left my stove eye on High-9 the entire 2 hours....? Yeah, i thought it was funny too.

to try and be helpful?
to the original poster of this thread...
anything smaller than a AA910...10 quart pc is too small...IMHO
a AA910 will hold 10 half pint jars...or 4 quart jars.
You can pick up a larger Presto...and do alot more jars.
And another thing to consider is...a 15 psi pc is better than a 10 psi pc by far.
But do what you wanna do.

actually I haven't decided if I'm going to buy it yet. But i'm not going to really be doing large grows so i dont need a large pc. I realize it doesn't do quart jars but that isn't going to be a real big issue for me.

yah, but the small one wont even hold that man 1/2 pint jars. While sterilizing jars is an easy process, it takes a few hours. Being able to do larger runs lets you do more, or have more jars for later use. This way when you want to inoculate you wont have to PC as often.;

its always good to have a PC that can reach up to 15psi, for mose of the teks that require the PC cook at a 15psi pressure.
You will just be wasting time and money IMO, if you decide to get this.
