How much water in 23 qt presto pc for 2-3 hr run time?
    #9573521 -

I just had 4 5lb wbs spawnbags melt in my pc from running dry. Does anyone know how much water I would need to prevent this from happening? I was absolutely devastated to see all that wbs come pouring out of my bags.

Thanks.

Why do you need to pressure cook for 2-3 hours?  At 15psi 90 min. is sufficient.

I use 2 quarts of water + a cap full of vinegar in my 23 quart Presto with 10 quarts inside.

Mind you, this is for a 90 minute cook time.

Okay, thanks for the quick replies. The run I did where my bags melted was actually for 90 minutes. In my research trying to find out how much water to use I kept seeing everyone saying 2-3 hours for large spawnbags.   
I didn't really measure the water which was just laziness on my part. I'll just have to grab some more birdseed and start over.

One inch in the bottom should be plenty.  I can run my AA for four hours on that.  You probably didn't turn the stove burner down enough once pressure was reached.  I use usually turn the stove down so the PC operates at 14 psi, and almost no steam escapes, thus it runs for hours on very little water.
