Pressure Cooker in making DMT

Can the Instapot pressure cooker be used to make DMT?
Hello, welcome to the Nexus!

"Make" DMT? Presumably you mean extract rather than synthesise…

How would you envisage using such a utensil? I guess it ultimately boils down (no pun intended!) to what starting material you have at hand. Where are you at with regards to botanical matter?
 
Love the curious mind!

I like to experiment too, latest try-out tek was with an "heated ultrasonic cleaner", to break open the plant fibers, and I was not disappointed!
One of my favorites and easiest is the sous-vide bath 60 degrees celcius for 24 hours when extracting from bigger amounts of bark.

Would I suggest it? No..
Did it yield more? No..
Is it fun? YES!
 
If you have a multi cooker (air fryer/pressure cooker/oven) like a ninjafoodi or instant pot, the shredded bark seems to boil up into the heating element and fan and takes a lot of cleaning to remove!

I'm similarly unconvinced that there is any great yield benefit to PC. I don't see a significant difference between a cold water extraction and combining several acidified pressure cooks.

Maybe some day a more patient person will do that experiment properly, i.e. a side by side comparison of PC Vs normal cooking Vs no cook.
 
Ya I have whole bark not pre processed inner root bark powder only. I def pressure cook it after blending it up because whole bark doesn’t powder so well there’s still fibers in it etc I find.

Those dry teks only worked well for me when I had already separated inner root bark powder. It works well because someone did the bulk of the work already IMO.

Dry teks suck for a lot of DMT plant extractions IMO so yes a pressure cooker has been a huge help and time saver.
 
i see a possable safty danger of over presure valve getting plugged for a not awsome explosion .. look up some pics of houses destroyed and people burned and killed .. but i worry ..

as my friend Murfy said if it can happen .................it eventually will !
be careful
