Pressure Cooker

[megs8888]

Hi all I am looking for a pressure cooker to sterilise vial for yeast cultivating, and from what im reading in needs to get to 15psi, anyone recommend a cheap pressure cooker or alternative autoclaves are too expensive.

There are other ways, one is Tyndallization, mostly outdated in labs but pretty useful for home sterilisers who have low equipment levels, really just a pot and a stove is all you need.
Might get you going until you gear up.

Your oven, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_heat_sterilization it's what I do with my Erlenmeyer flasks when making yeast starters.

I am not sure if this counts as cheap but it works a treat for sterilising and doubles as a preserving vessel for extra summer produce. I like having the pressure gauge to give me an idea of what I am trying to achieve.
It often drops in price down to $135 inexplicably if you keep your eye on the price.
I haven't used it for yeast but have for mushroom cultivation and micropropagation

If you're in Brisbane I've got an 8l stovetop pressure cooker that I'm happy to part with.
