Hi peeps,
I recently spied and bought myself this 13 litre pressure cooker through eBay for just shy of £28, it works fine. The model I used previous to this was a 6 litre one so this allows me to do a lot more work in one go...the 6 litre pressure cooker only held two litre jars, and that was a tight squeeze...this pressure cooker holds seven individual litre jars comfortably so is a big step up. Pressure cookers of this size are usually a great deal more expensive than this, so this seems like a great deal.
The pressure cooker does not come with any trays, but this this 27cm diameter steamer tray is perfectly sized to fit in the bottom of the pressure cooker and raise the jars off the bottom and out of the water to prevent cracking during pressure cooking. I should mention that I bent the legs of the steamer to lower it a bit but it fits perfectly regarding both diameter and height above the bottom/water when pressure cooking, while accomodating the height of the litre Ball/Kilner jars.
Thought this could be helpful for UK mycological minded peeps. :thumb_up:
