Put the top tub on today to get a little more light on these and see what theyre up to.
Yeah... I dunno what the Canadian coin equivalent to a US quarter would be weight-wise... but I put two of them on my regulator to keep it from rocking at 15PSI and can usually get up to about 18PSI before it starts sputtering.
Looks like 5.67g/US quarter... so about 11g?
edit: Oh, or you could bring it outside to a kettle burner. I know you've expressed concern about that before, but... Iunno. I've done it with my Presto for years and years and never had a problem with warping or anything else. Just don't crank it up.
Your PC looks way more B.A. Baracus than a Presto, too.

Oh, is it just one quarter then? Could have sworn I put two of them on there...Quarter on the weight brings it up to18 psi if it’s a 15 psi weight
Memories of my nannas Smith pressure cooking the potatoes for a Sunday roast when I was a child. I could almost smell it when I heard thatNot sure why since its kinda annoying, but i find this mezmerizing..

Looks much better.Second times a charm?View attachment 1068651
About half the grains i sample are gelatinized, half still have white starch in them. But yesterday fully cooking them led to overcooked grains after PC.Looks much better.
Might I suggest a simple framed screen?
I mean... towels work, for sure. I just find the screen to give a more even and thorough drying. And quicker.
I usually just spread out my rye, walk away for about an hour, and load up.
Do you pre-soak at all?About half the grains i sample are gelatinized, half still have white starch in them. But yesterday fully cooking them led to overcooked grains after PC.
The hard part is i wont know if theyre ok until tomorrow lol.
Yeah i soaked them about 5-6 hrs before boiling them for about 12-13 min. But they must keep cooking in the PC..Do you pre-soak at all?
I'll put my rye in the PC with tap hot water, throw the lid on, and let that sit between one and four or more hours. Helped a lot with avoiding burst grains and having them more even throughout.
Very cool! Thanks for keeping me in the know.@beluga, my friend got back to me with more info about the mushrooms being used for bioremediation and what happens to the toxins etc.
Turns out that mushrooms are a hyperaccumulator, and any heavy metals or toxins in the soil will be concentrated in the mushroom mycelium and fruiting bodies. Apparently it does change the chemical composition of the soils and some toxins themselves, but for the most part the mushrooms used for remediation become toxic.
Of course, i had to ask what then happens to those mushrooms lol. If youre using them to clean up soil, how do they dispose of the mushrooms without just contaminating somewhere else?
Ill let you know what she says.
100%. She said being hyperaccumulators theyre one of the worst things to consume if grown in poor soils. Its why you should never eat mushrooms you find near the road, anywhere, ever. Apparently theyre way worse than plants for accumulating toxins. Which is what makes them so well suited for bioremediation.Very cool! Thanks for keeping me in the know.
But yeah... what then? is quite the curiosity.
And then that makes me wonder about organics vs non... almost seems like it's more imperative to have a clean nutrition source for mushrooms than it would be plants...
I see your Grizzly Bear and I'll raise you one Fever the Ghost:Well, watch this high sometime. I love this song anyway but this vid is incredible on mushrooms. Wow. Jaw is on the floor.
That’s crazy shit sober!!!Well, watch this high sometime. I love this song anyway but this vid is incredible on mushrooms. Wow. Jaw is on the floor.
