Pressure-Cooking material

[Ouboet]

I found an interesting article in Academia. I don't know much what was said, as it is very higher grade discussions. What I did recognize was a graph that showed the stability of DMT under high temperature. Basically DMT has only 3% weight loss below 150 degrees Celsius. Real degrading at 160 degrees Celsius.
Then I Googled temperature in a pressure cooker, and wow, only 121 degrees Celsius.
Now,my questions, what is it with this heat bath thing when it comes to extraction?
Can I pressure cook?
Now that will be a energy and time safer! Especially because I am cooking on gas.

Does this maybe only apply to dmt-fumaric?

DMT salts of any non-oxidising acid should display a similar thermal stability. So, yes you can in principle PC your acid MHRB cook although it's arguably better just to simmer it gently with the lid on. The thermal stability test applied to pure DMT hemifumarate. In the bark there is a whole bunch of stuff, some of which could potentially react with DMT under the PC conditions.

You could try a side-by-side comparison of simmered (e.g., in a rice cooker) vs. PC from the same batch of bark. Extract the two batches using exactly the same of everything except for the cooking method.

Thank you, yes I get your point, maybe it's also about respect for the product.
As always, the proof is in the doing.
Ps. Love your nutmeg info.

Here's some food for thought: Mimosa's secrets - keeping a lid on it!

Glad you like the nutmeg info - it's an ongoing project so if you find anything that's not in there do let me know.

I guess lid on and slowly catching the monkey
It's not a good plan to pressure cook dmt material, it is quite reassuring to know that temperature in the cooking process, can not destroy the DMT.
To save energy, I just put my jar (with its lid on) inside the pot of food that I am preparing.
Thanks for the interesting info.
