Nice. I have been waiting for it to steam, hold 5 min, then letting pressure build to 10 PSI, vent to 0, then build to 15 and run 2 hours @ 15 psi

I knew I could count on you having a video on these. I bought the 25X today at an auction for 185 bucks. When I opened it and saw the bucket inside it threw me for a loop, but not anymore. Thanks for providing so many meaningful videos.

Can you use this on a laminated countertop with the optional base or is it recommended to be on a metal table?

Does your valve make hissing noises after you close it at pressure? Like a leaking noise or is it airtight? Just curious.

hi, the pressure of mine didn't reached 17psi even though it had been run for more than 2 hours, if there any suggestions for me to overcome this problem. i had tried many times to do my sterilization

I do not vent at 15 psi because I have had no problems not doing so. If you do that while making agar or liquid culture it will spill inside the pressure cooker anyways. I just make sure steam is coming out of the vent before building pressure initially.

Have you noticed any issues only using 1 gallon of water? My manual says to fill up to the machined line, which requires 2 gallons. I would imagine this is so the entire heating element remains submerged. Filling with 1 gallon would leave the top section of the heating element out of the water, so I just wasn't sure if that would be an issue. Using 1 gallon would certainly be more convenient and energy efficient! It takes sooooooo long to get up to pressure using 2 gallons. Plus I have to distill 2 gallons of water to use it, so that energy cost would be cut in half as well. Thanks for the video!

@SporenSprout

I don’t fill to the machined line, I fill until right above the element and that works best for me everytime and the water is still slightly above the element after the sterilization cycle.

You want to rid all the air out before it reaches 15 (removing all air pockets and displacing with steam). If you burp there will be a very quick pressure change which could damage bags, filters, crack glass or overflow lC’s etc. the manual says it’s safe to but they are referring to items not affected by drastic pressure changes like used in sterilizing tattoo equipment, dental tools etc. hope that helps …

I guess every machine can be calibrated differently so it’s not the same in every situation. Keeping it at 6 seems like the most common way to stay at 15 psi. Just have to find the sweet spot for your machine and go with that.
