vintage clamp-type pressure cooker
I found an old Minutemaid clamp-type pressure cooker at an estate
sale. It is oval in shape, like a roaster, made of polished aluminum. It came with an extra gasket and looks like new except for some minor oxidation of the top surfaces. Pressure is regulated via a pivoting threaded rod which sits atop the pressure regulator valve and is adjustable for 0-7 psi (max). The vented steam passes through a stainless steel Whistle. I tested it today and it works perfectly and seems pretty safe because if the heat goes much above the minimum needed to maintain the set pressure, the whistle is almost unbearable. It has a solder plug for safety. Has anyone seen one of these? How would I adjust the cooking times from a standard 15 lb cooker recipe? It doesn't have any instructions. Thanks, James |

Thanks, James Look in the instructions for the 15 lb one and use the times for low pressure cooking. -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |
