I thought I'd start a thread for this piece of equipment after a search revealed little on the forum. Please add to this if you can share tips, techniques, experience or places to get them.
PRESSURE COOKERS
Who?
You, if you are anal about clean yeast propagation.
What?
One of these things:
Why?
Because it achieves a STERILE result... yes you will actually be able to say that word.
Where?
I have recently found 2 sources for pressure cookers.
I am very much considering getting this one from the US, though I am yet to work out how I will get it here, and how much financial damage that will clock up. The main thing is that it is big enough to sterilise big things like multiple flasks and implements.
The other is a cheap Indian/Fijian/Asian bargain store I walked past a few days ago in Lakemba. They had them there for $45 each. They are not, by any means a superior vessel, but that is definitely the most affordable I have ever heard of. It also has a weight controlling the pressure, so it is pretty safe, even though it is cheap. I believe the largest vessel they have is an 11L. Google Map Location
