My pressure cooker sucks

It's too small.
I can fit those 240mL mason jars in (PF Tek jars) but I am moving on to WBS now. Is it ok to turn the jars on their sides and pressure cook them that way? It's the only real way they will fit.
Maybe an alternate to pressure cooking?

Not doubting that but they cost over $100.. I would much rather an alternative to simply buying something that I already possess.

Problem solved. It's only $82.94 from amazon.com and it's 23-quarts.

Take a moment and look at my location.
I can't even purchase from amazon let alone contemplate how long they would take to send that piece out.
Thinking about it postage would be more than the actual PC.
Still, thanks for doing the research.

yes you can lay the jar on its side. I shouldnt have to tell you but make sure the lid doesnt leak, grain against the lid could ooze a little bit of liquid around the rim and that could bring in contams.
Tilted sideways is best

if u can't use your Pcer then just get a large pot throw some jar lids at the bottom fill with water to lids and let it boil and throw the jars in and steam for 90 mins, just don't let the water evaporate. after it begings boil just set it on simmer right on the stove :]

That wont work.
When working with grains, u must use a pressure cooker. Steam sterilisation wont kill bacterial endospores which grains contain. Steam sterilisation only works with brown rice flour.
My 5l pressure cooker where im from cost almost that much!!

Uh, that is wrong. It works for BRF, but that's it. WBS requires a PC. Supplier, don't tell people to do things when you don't understand what you're talking about. DeXtrous, make the investment and purchase the new PC. You won't regret it, and if it helps you move on to grains, then it will be worth the money.
