Quiet Pressure cooker?
    #5841387 - 07/10/06 04:04 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

My pressure cooker is very load and it is irritating. Are there any PCs that are quiet or relatively silent?

What do you mean by loud?? Like hissing from the release valve, or rocker if thats the kind you have??


Most pressure cookers are going to make some noise. If your getting a constant hissing from your release valve then you are running it too hot. At optimal your rocker should let steam out a couple of times a minute.

All American electric sterilizers run very quiet. But they are ridiculously expensive. A 25q can cost up to $500.

You're supposed to reduce the heat on the stove once pressure is reached. If you leave the stove on high, not only is it going to be loud, you run a risk of boiling all your water out.

When full pressure is reached, reduce the heat to the minimum setting that will maintain the desired pressure.

If you have an All American PC, replace the vent tube and weight with a toggle valve. I don't hear a peep out of mine.

sound advise there.

i have an old presto 22qt. and it is very quiet, just a gentle, soft rocking of the weight plug.

I strongly disagree with replacing the weight and tube with the stopcock. There's a huge difference in application between a sterilizer and a pressure cooker. A sterilizer is used for fifteen minutes or so for tools and other equipment in a medical environment. A PC is used for an hour or more. You want a bit of steam escaping during a long cycle to keep the heat at 250F to go along with the 15psi. With a closed stopcock, there's the chance you can have 15 psi due to expansion, but have far less than 250F, especially if it's been half an hour or more since you closed the stop.

Yep, RR is right. It's best to have a flow of 15 psi steam going past your stuff in order to make sure it stays at temp.

While the stopcock may keep it at temp and pressure, it's the transfer of heat to the substrate that does the sterilization and a flow of steam will do that better than still air at any temp..

OTOH those sterilizers probably do the trick alright and the noise of the rattling does suck. AA's are worse than most for noise.

I am using a hotplate to heat my PC up. It has a shut down feature where it turns off the heat about half the time. So in order for the pressure to remain at 15 psi during the whole "off" phase i have to run the hotplate all the way up to high - which causes the rocker to go very fast and be very loud while the hotplate is in the "on" phase.

Do all hotplates have the safety shutdown every min or so?
